Armco Open Box Beam

Armco Open Box Beam

The Armco Open Box Beam stands as the pinnacle of traffic and pedestrian segregation solutions in the UK, renowned for its exceptional strength and versatility. It's the ideal choice for deployment in demanding environments such as loading bays and delivery zones, where heavy traffic flow is commonplace.

Open box beam barrier systems are a stronger and more durable alternative to corrugated Armco beams. They are designed to withstand impacts from heavy vehicles, such as lorries, making them ideal for use in loading bays and other areas where protection from collisions is required.

Simplicity is key with the Armco Open Box Beam, aligning with the user-friendly nature of the entire Armco system. Connecting these beams requires a special plate to join them seamlessly, with just one post bolt to anchor them and a mere six lap bolts needed at each junction for robust security.

Crafted from galvanised steel, our 4.8m long box beams offer robust protection. However, we also offer alternative finish options to meet your specific needs. Opting for a powder-coated finish not only enhances protection but also allows you to select either yellow or black box beams. This flexibility proves invaluable if you wish to maintain a consistent colour scheme with an existing barrier system or seek to elevate the overall visibility of your safety barrier installation.

Open Box Beam Accessories

We offer plastic end caps that not only secure the beams in position but also provide protection to pedestrians, preventing injuries from accidental contact with the galvanised steel finish.

A crucial element in the installation of an open box beam barrier system, the clamp plate plays a vital role in creating a secure mounting point for the barriers. These versatile plates are designed for compatibility with both RSJ and Z posts. To secure them to the posts, you'll need our Armco barrier post bolts. Once firmly fastened, the open box beams can effortlessly slide into position, allowing for a swift and adaptable installation process.

Our fishplates are engineered to establish a sturdy joint between two open box beams, ensuring structural integrity and seamless alignment. Crafted from durable galvanised steel, each plate is built to withstand rigorous, continuous use.

Open Box Beam Fixings

Post bolts and lap bolts are integral to the structural integrity of every Armco barrier system. Their primary role is to firmly anchor the beams, ensuring stability even in the event of impacts or adverse weather conditions.

Our specially designed M10 x 35mm open box bolt is tailored for use with the clamp plate, providing a robust and reliable method to secure both beams and posts effectively.

Both post bolts and lap bolts are engineered for exceptional durability, guaranteeing a lifespan that matches that of the beams and posts themselves. Trust in their longevity to maintain the reliability and safety of your Armco barrier system over time.
