3oTrimestre14 | PROTECCIÓN LABORAL 80 Updated products Segurilight launches a reflecting protection bumper Segurilight expands its product portfolio, specifically its already extensive range of protective bumpers, which prevent staff from hitting obstacles at low height, also avoiding blows to the machinery, vehicles, etc. This is a bumper made of polyurethane foam. Like the rest of the range, it is available in lengths of 1 meter, and three different types depending on the anchor type or final appearance . Thus, the product range includes: -A Type, V anchoring. Suitable for angled surfaces with circled padded area. -E Type, V anchoring. Ideal for angular surfaces with triangled padded area. -C Type, for flat surfaces, flat appearance. The particularity of this new product, unique and exclusive in the market, is that it is a completely reflective bumper. Its ability to return the incident light beam makes it especially interesting for car parks, where the headlights of the vehicle will fall on the material, allowing the user to quickly warn the dangerous elements that can be beaten. If even then the impact occurs, the bumper’s cushion will muffle the impact due to its foam structure. There are also various other applications for this range of products, thanks to the plurality of options available in relation to the anchors, types, patterns, colors, dimensions and measures. The most common applications are, depending on the area to be protected: ·Personal protection against bumps -Stairs located in central areas giving access, for example, a mezzanine, where low-stairs keep uncovered. -Descending stairs against forged plants with scarce height. -Shelves with high depth where the operator must “enter”. -Beams, pipes or other obstacles located at low height. -Pipeline grids. -Corners or protruding edges in tight spaces, etc. Bumpers will not only avoid blunt blows or open wounds, but they will determine the location of the danger while signaling it. ·Protection of machinery or vehicles -Shocks or damage to equipment by the movement of trucks or other moving objects are avoided. -Signaling of shelving feet. -Columns, back walls, etc. The layering with this bumper prevents damage to both vehicles and parking areas. About the new product, Itziar Pouso, Segurilight’s managing director, stresses that “good protection with the perfect bumper to every need, prevents accidents, and produce noteworthy savings in repair costs for damage to machines, vehicles, warehouse trucks, etc., small incidents caused by involuntary but frequent bumps”.
