The RSJ is 127x76 beam

GH buffer posts are ideal for situations where protecting building infrastructure as well as vehicles is important.

The spring-steel construction enables the barrier to absorb the impact of the collision whilst also returning some of the force back onto the origin.

Ideal for multi-storey car park applications, the GH post is easy to both install and replace. Whether or not you require the need for GH buffers will be determined by your project specification, so check with our sales team to ensure you have the right components for your needs.

GH Buffers come in 610mm and 760mm lengths

Box section posts like the image are designed for corner Armco use. But as they are not a standard post each one will be made to measure and can be designed to any of the specifications you desire. It can also come without a base plate so can be dug in.

Typically made from

100x100x3 SHS

100x100x5 SHS

This type is made for Armco but can be made to fit berry beam and box beams.

Flexi Post System

Flexi-Posts are a semi-flexible floor mounted system. The upper part of the post is mounted into a rubber shock absorber which allows a limited deflection of the post.

This reduces Force F (see EN 1991-1 (BS6399)) from 152kN to 69kN. It also reduces the anchor bolt forces and reduces the risk of damage to barriers, floors and vehicles.

The RSJ is 127x76 and comes in sizes: 560, 610 & 760.

Z posts are the standard component for fixing Armco crash barrier into the ground. They offer the basic level of protection but likely won’t withstand heavier impacts, like dig-in RSJ posts will.

Whether or not you require the need for Z posts will be determined by your project specification, so check with our sales team to ensure you have the right components for your needs.

ECY Armco offers Z posts in the following variants for:
Dig in Versions:
110x55x1160mm
Bolted down versions:
110x55x560mm
110x55x760mm

RB buffers are perfect for use wherever medium impact risks are present. Designed to cushion the impact of heavy vehicles to protect buildings and infrastructure, they are perfectly suited to warehouse and industrial applications. Whether or not you require the need for RB buffer posts will be determined by your project specification, so check with our sales team to ensure you have the right components for your needs.

ECY Armco offers RB buffer posts in the following variants:

76x12 RB-1 buffer - 235mm (recommended for warehouse rail)

610mm - 100x14 RB-1 buffer

610mm - 100x20 RB-1 buffer

The RB1X Flexible Spring Steel Buffer post offers an economical footprint and the deflection can be contained within the barrier area by reducing post centres. A base plate can be used, if required, to spread the impact load on the buffer over a wider surface area to avoid damage to the substrate and to assist in levelling the buffer installation on un-even surfaces. Benefits:

• Single Anchor Fixing
• Reduced Loading Into Slab
• Reduced Installation Time
• Available with Handrail and Mesh
• Can be used for all Car Park Applications
• Shallow Embedment Available

This post is the space efficient planted spring buffer, the slim, socket design enables them to be easily and affordably replaced. 76x10mm

In areas where there is insufficient room for a surface mounted barrier. U & Cranked spring steel buffers can be installed. These mounting brackets will protect the wall from the full force of the collision and minimise damage to the wall.

These holding down bolts are the main way the base-plated posts are secure to the floor. M16x140 &M20x160 are pictured above but we can adapt to provide your needs with other fixings. Such as studded bar with a high strength resin fix.

In addition to offering protection from vehicle impacts, some barrier installations will need to cater for pedestrian use. In this event, handrail extensions of varying sizes can be applied to standard Armco barriers to prevent pedestrian trips or falls, by providing a sturdy and visible guide for people walking past. Whether or not you require the need for extensions will be determined by your project specification, so check with our sales team to ensure you have the right components for your needs.
