Armco posts are a critical component of any crash barrier system, providing the structural support required to absorb and distribute impact forces. Used in warehouses, car parks, factories, and industrial sites, these posts ensure that Armco barriers perform effectively in protecting buildings, equipment, and people.
Choosing the correct post type is essential, as it directly affects the strength, durability, and performance of your barrier system.
Types of Armco Posts
We supply a range of Armco barrier posts designed for different environments and impact levels:
- RSJ Posts – Heavy-duty rolled steel joist posts designed for maximum strength and high-impact areas
- Z Posts – Lighter-weight posts ideal for lower-impact environments and tighter spaces
RSJ posts are typically used in high-traffic areas such as warehouses and loading bays, while Z posts offer a more cost-effective solution for car parks and lower-risk installations.
Dig-In vs Bolt-Down Posts
Armco posts can be installed in two main ways:
- Dig-In Posts – Installed into the ground using concrete for maximum stability and impact resistance
- Bolt-Down Posts – Fixed directly to existing concrete using anchor bolts for faster installation
If you’re working on a permanent, high-impact installation, dig-in posts are usually the better option. For indoor environments or existing concrete surfaces, bolt-down posts offer greater flexibility and ease of installation.
Build a Complete Armco Barrier System
Armco posts are designed to work seamlessly with:
- Barrier rails (1.6m and 3.2m sections)
- Fixings such as post bolts, lap bolts, and ground anchors
- Barrier ends and corners for safe system termination
Using the correct combination of components ensures your barrier system remains secure, compliant, and effective in real-world conditions.
Choosing the Right Armco Post
The right post depends on your environment:
- High-impact / forklift traffic → RSJ posts
- Lower-impact / budget-conscious installs → Z posts
- Maximum stability required → Dig-in posts
- Fast installation on concrete → Bolt-down posts
If you’re unsure which option is best, it’s important to consider traffic levels, layout, and impact risk before selecting your posts.
