Overhead Protection
Overhead-Absorbing Barrier
Guardrail with a rubber-lined top crossbar that absorbs both lateral impact and the load resting on the rail.
Overview
The Ennat Overhead-Absorbing Barrier extends the Standard Barrier platform with a rubber-lined crossbar mounted across the top of the run. Where a conventional guardrail only protects against lateral forklift contact, this barrier also absorbs impact and load resting on the top rail, which makes it purpose-built for conveyor lines where operators load material over the barrier without transferring shock into the conveyor structure. It is made to measure: length, height and crossbar configuration are engineered to each line, and it shares the base and anchoring hardware of the Standard Barrier, so it integrates into existing runs.
- Rubber-lined top crossbar absorbs impact and load resting on the rail
- Built with the same impact-absorbing hybrid rubber-and-steel materials as the Ennat Standard Barrier
- Made to measure: length, height and crossbar configuration engineered to each conveyor line
- Shares the base and anchoring hardware of the Standard Barrier, so it integrates into existing runs
