Barriers and markings are there to prevent accidents. Foam edge protectors with combined black and yellow markings also provide a warning function.

How do flexible crash protection guards prevent damage to machines?

Spring components that have been integrated into them yield in the event of a collision, later returning to their initial position. This reduced damage to the vehicle involved. The special advantage of flexible crash protection guards made of polymer-based plastic: there is no need to repair or replace them after a collision. Swivel castors on crash protection guards also allow them to move and deflect the forces acting on them.
