Pallet Rack Protection
Keep Racks and Inventory Safe From Damage
A-SAFE Pallet Rack Leg Protectors shield against forklift bumps and scrapes that weaken rack structures and create a risk of catastrophic collapse. Flexible polymer construction can take repeat hits and reform for continued protection.
Learn more about our A-SAFE pallet rack leg protectors and rack end guard rails.
RackEnd Guard Rails
Keep Racks and Inventory Safe From Damage
Reduce the risk of pallet rack collapse and prevent damage from forklift collision. A-SAFE RackEnd guard rails shield rack aisle ends where turning forklifts can impact vulnerable structures. Like other A-SAFE guard rails, they flex, cushion and reform repeatedly upon impact saving on maintenance and vehicle repairs. Circular end posts and spinning collars provide added deflection and dissipation of impact forces and glancing blows. Huge return on investment from incident prevention and downtime avoidance as guard rails, vehicles floors and racking do not need replacing or repair, and stock is protected from collapse.

Expansion Joint Repair & Sealing
Warehouse floors with pot holes, cracks and uneven areas increase the risk of tipped forklift loads and worker injury. Conventional concrete repair can take weeks or months of painful downtime for demo and curing. BIG offers an alternative repair using rapid cure epoxy mortars. Resurfacing is done fast and can often be ready for same day service. Materials provide high mechanical and impact strength as well as long-term abrasion resistance to hold up in loading dock environments.

A-SAFE Dock Gates
Creates a physical barrier when loading bays are not in use to prevent vehicles from rolling off the dock. Double bollard posts and guard rail design provides strong impact resistance to protect doors and structures from forklift collision even when the gate is open. Slide collar lock and cantilever design is easy to open and close - one person can use it. Cantilever design allows ample opening room. Made from A-SAFE's flexible polymer barrier that will recover fully after an impact. Front posts have sliding collars to deflect bumps and scrapes. Learn more about A-SAFE safety barrier systems.
Dock Leveler Concrete Resurfacing
Banks Industrial Group provides rapid repair and expert resurfacing of deteriorated concrete around dock levelers and curb angles. Needless to say, pot holes and cracks threaten damage to equipment and goods as well as putting operators at risk of injury. BIG uses specialized materials that can be feather edged for zero leveling and provide excellent resistance to wear from abrasion and impacts. Our solutions are fast curing and incredibly strong for long service life. In many cases repairs can be done with a return to service on the same day.

Flexible Bollards
Protect People, Buildings & Impact Hotspots
A-SAFE flexible bollards prevent impact damage to equipment, loading dock doors, fire exits and critical structures. Stronger than steel, flexible polymer lets them absorb and recover from repeated forklift hits without damage to floor anchors or the bollard itself.
Learn more about our A-SAFE bollards.
A-SAFE Height Restrictors
A-SAFE iFlex Height Restrictors protect the edges of doorways and prevent high level damage from vehicle impacts. An energy absorbing core allows height restrictor to flex, cushion and reform repeatedly on impact saving on guard rail and vehicle repairs. Big ROI from incident prevention and downtime avoidance. Learn more about A-SAFE safety barrier systems.
Flexible Column Guards
Protect Columns & Vertical Structures
Stop forklifts and pallet trucks from smashing into building support columns. BIG provides factory authorized sales and installation of A-SAFE column protectors and column guard rail systems. Flexible polymer absorbs impact energy and reforms for continued protection. iFlex Guard Rail Systems provide heavy impact resistance and can be customized to fit any size, shape or location of column. FlexiShield systems wrap around square or rectangular columns and are stackable to provide excellent visibility for drivers.

A-SAFE Swing Gates
A-SAFE swing gates provide safe access for pedestrians. Swing gates slow down foot traffic to check for potential hazards before entering a space. Hydraulic self-close automatically closes the gate after use. Gates have double swing action and are supplied with an optional stop to limit travel to one direction. Two models are available: the short gate comes in four sizes from 31.5 to 47.25 inches, the long gate is 78.75 inches. Gates can also be installed in pairs for a maximum opening of 94.5 inches or 157.5 inches. Black and safety green colors are available.

Flexible Guard Rails
Protect People, Assets and Equipment
BIG is an authorized A-SAFE distributor and installer. A-SAFE guard rails separate forklift traffic and provide visual guidance. Stronger than steel, flexible polymer rails absorb impact forces and reform for continued protection.

Conveyor Belt Repair
Save Money By Extending Service Life
Save time and money when you repair worn and torn conveyor belts rather than replace them. BIG patches damage with a specialized elastomeric compound that is extremely durable. On site repairs are done fast, typically completed in a matter of hours to get your operation up and running again. Application is easy and cures at room temperature eliminating the need for hot work.
