Iron Parking Barriers

Barriers That Protect Walls, Columns and Equipment from Impact

A steel hoop barrier is a U-shaped metal guard fixed to the floor to stop cars and forklifts hitting walls, columns, racking and service pipes. In underground and multi-storey car parks it reduces scrapes and knocks during manoeuvring; in factories and warehouses it limits forklift damage. Ilgi Trafik manufactures these barriers at its factory in Akyurt, Ankara.

Types and Sizes

• Area and wall protection barriers: U-shaped barriers in sizes from 35 cm up to 200 cm.
• Heavy-duty barriers: a 122 cm heavy-duty model for areas with intense vehicle and forklift traffic.
• High wheel stop: a 150 cm raised stop that keeps vehicles off walls and columns.
• Fuel station and LPG barriers: 100, 111 and 130 cm models for pump islands and filling points.
• Rack and forklift barriers: industrial models protecting rack uprights and wall bases.
• Pipe protection barriers: compact 30 and 50 cm models guarding gas and water pipes.

Where They Are Used

Typical locations include residential and shopping centre car parks, hospital and public building car parks, factories and logistics warehouses, fuel stations, loading bays and service connections at car park entrances. If you only need to protect column corners, the rubber and L-shaped models in Column Corner Protectors may be a better fit.

Selection and Installation Tips

Match the barrier size to the surface you are protecting; along long walls, several barriers can be spaced out. The height should line up with vehicle bumpers. Barriers are fixed to concrete through holes in the base plates with anchors and screws. In dim car parks, choosing a high-visibility colour such as yellow makes them easy to spot.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a column guard and a hoop barrier? A column corner guard is fixed directly to the corner of the column. A hoop barrier is fixed to the floor in front of a wall, column or piece of equipment and stops the vehicle before it reaches the surface.

Which size should I choose? 30 to 60 cm suits narrow points such as service pipes, 60 to 100 cm suits the front of columns, and 100 cm or more suits walls and pump islands.
