Safety Floor Angles – High-Visibility Steel Protection for Floor-Level Assets

Safety Floor Angles are heavy-duty, L-shaped steel guards designed to be anchored directly to the floor, providing robust, low-level protection for machinery, pallet racking, conveyor ends, and structural columns from impact damage caused by forklifts, pallet jacks, and general workplace traffic. Their bright, high-visibility finish (often safety yellow) ensures clear delineation, making them an essential passive safety component in high-traffic Australian warehouses and manufacturing facilities.

Protecting critical infrastructure from equipment impact is vital for minimising downtime and expensive repair costs. Verdex supplies a range of pre-fabricated Safety Floor Angles, engineered for maximum energy absorption and easy installation into concrete floors. These protective guards are a key element within our comprehensive Safety Barriers, PPE & Signage range.

 

Engineered Design for Impact Protection and Asset Longevity

Safety Floor Angles offer targeted, reliable defense against common low-level workplace collisions:

  • Targeted Impact Absorption: The steel construction and angle design are specifically placed to intercept the forks or base of material handling equipment, protecting the asset behind the barrier.

  • High Visibility: Their brightly painted finish enhances awareness in busy zones, working alongside other demarcation tools like Safety Signs and Warehouse Signs.

  • Complementary Protection: They often work in tandem with vertical guards, like Posts and Bollards, to provide full protection around critical equipment.

 

Floor Angle Guard Use Cases Across Industrial Sites

These floor-mounted safety angles are required wherever machinery, electrical panels, or racking uprights are exposed to wheeled traffic. They are essential across a broad range of Australian industries, including Logistics, Manufacturing, Food & Beverage, Automotive, and Distribution, with specific use cases in the following workplaces:

  • Pallet Racking Aisles: Used at the end of every row in a warehouse to protect the lower, most vulnerable uprights from turning forklifts, often paired with Pallet Racking Guards.

  • Control Panel Areas: Installed around floor-mounted electrical cabinets and machinery control systems in factory environments to prevent accidental damage.

  • Loading Docks: Used at the corners of pedestrian walkways or near critical equipment at dock entrances controlled by devices like Boom Gates.

  • Conveyor System Terminals: Placed at the entry or exit points of conveyor lines to protect motors and control boxes from equipment bumps.

  • Wall and Column Protection: Used to guard the base of structural columns or corners where vehicles frequently turn sharply.

  • Production Line Boundaries: Used as a heavy-duty floor-level demarcation to prevent vehicles from entering pedestrian zones or equipment areas, supplementing solutions like Pedestrian Barriers or Handrail Barriers.

  • High-Value Equipment Zones: Installed to protect stationary assets such as industrial printers, wrapping machines, or scales.

  • Temporary Work Areas: Can be used to create temporary safe zones, complementing the function of Expandable Barriers or Retractable Barriers (including Wall Mounted Barriers, Retractable Belt Barriers, and Retractable Tape Barriers).

  • Parking and Vehicle Access: While primarily internal, they can be used to protect fixed infrastructure near internal Parking Barriers.

  • Vehicle Exclusion Zones: Used around specialised areas such as Driver Exclusion Cages to protect the cage structure itself.
