A leading pallet supply chain and logistics company recently introduced a strict safety protocol for its busy transport yard, which handles large volumes of trucks for forklift load and unloading. With forklifts regularly moving oversize loads— double pallet stacks two wide by ten high—visibility and manoeuvring challenges posed significant safety risks!

To address these hazards, the company implemented a new policy restricting pedestrian access to the forklift traffic areas of the yard. This policy created distinct pedestrian and forklift zones, minimising the risk of accidents. However, ensuring this policy’s effectiveness required a robust safety solution.

Verge Safety Barriers provided the perfect solution. The project included:

• 114LM of Verge Eco-Rail™
• 235LM of Verge Mesh Hy-Wall™
• 220LM of Verge HD Barrier™
• 15 Verge V-Gates™
• 6 Verge Dock-Pro Gates™

The Verge team worked closely with the client to ensure the barriers and gates were strategically installed to create a secure perimeter around pedestrian walkways, allowing for high pallet stacking without compromising safety. The system ensures all pedestrians and truck drivers are fully protected from forklift operations, reinforcing the company’s safety protocols while maintaining operational efficiency.

With Verge Safety Barriers, our client now operates a safer, more controlled environment in line with their new global safety requirements.
