Shock absorber

Loading bay equipment specialist
Farrington Industries has secured
the UK and Ireland distribution
rights for what it calls “a unique
range” of shock absorbing protection
bollards. The Softstop system is
already established in North America
and mainland Europe.

“Softstop energy absorbing
bollards bring cost and risk
reductions,” said Ernie Bovington,
director. “They can prevent damage
to vehicles, the bollards themselves
and the building. They flex on
impact which helps prevent personal
injury.”
The Softstop system is modular,
simple to order and is said to be easy
to install. There are three diameters,
with tee and elbow fittings along
with different tube lengths. This
means that everything from single
bollards to protection barriers, safety
railings, fences, guard rails or even
Armco barriers can be assembled.
