Where pedestrians, forklift trucks and other vehicles share the same workspace, safety is no mere detail. A collision can result in injuries, damage to infrastructure and operational downtime. Boplan develops and manufactures durable fall and impact protection that minimises these risks.
The Belgian family-run business was founded in 1999 and has grown to become a global player in industrial safety. From its headquarters in Wevelgem and regional sales offices in Europe, North America and Japan, Boplan companies in sectors including logistics, manufacturing, food, (petro)chemicals, cold storage and aviation. Its mission remains the same: to prevent accidents, protect infrastructure and save lives.
Security solutions for every risk zone
Boplan offers a comprehensive range of collective protection systems for industrial and logistics environments. Collision protection systems separate pedestrians from internal transport vehicles. Safety barriers shield machinery and work areas. Bollards, column protectors and racking protection safeguard vulnerable infrastructure against collisions. Boplan also offers tailored solutions for loading bays, passageways and areas with a risk of falling.
These products do not stand alone. Boplan assesses the entire working environment and helps you to identify risk areas, traffic flows and potential impacts. This results in a coherent safety concept that is tailored to the activities, vehicles and layout of your site.
Flexible protection with long-lasting results
Boplan’s FLEX IMPACT® solutions are manufactured from high-quality polymer. In the event of a collision, they deform in a controlled manner to absorb the impact energy. They then return to their original shape. This ensures that the protection remains intact and reduces the risk of damage to vehicles, floors and infrastructure.
The material is also low-maintenance, corrosion-resistant and suitable for demanding industrial environments. Compared with traditional steel solutions, it requires fewer repairs and replacements following an impact, and no painting is needed. This contributes to a lower total cost of ownership.
Transparency regarding impact resistance
A safety solution must be robust enough to cope with the risks in the workplace. That is why Boplan tests its products extensively and expresses their impact resistance in joules. Using the online Boplan Impact Calculator, you can calculate how much impact energy a protection system must be able to withstand, based on vehicle weight, speed and angle of impact. This gives you a clear basis for choosing the right solution for your application.
Anyone wishing to find out more about Boplan’s solutions can meet the team at Transport & Logistics on 22 and 23 September 2026 at Flanders Expo in Ghent. At stand 1420 in hall 1, the safety experts will demonstrate how to protect people, infrastructure and processes in a targeted manner, and you can try out the Boplan Impact Calculator for yourself. www.boplan.com.
