Floor Mounted Armco Barrier System - RB1X - Spring Steel Buffer System

The RB1X Buffer is a spring steel post which is available with a combination of various beam profiles and post thicknesses. This allows it to be used in all types of applications, making it very cost effective.

By reducing post centres, deflection can be contained within the barrier area of RB1X Flexible Spring Steel Buffers for an economic footprint.

In order to spread the impact load on the buffer over a wider surface, a base plate can be used to avoid damage to the substrate and to assist in levelling the buffer installation on uneven surfaces.

Features and benefits:

• Reduced installation time: The single anchor fixing method is beneficial in reducing drilling time (HAVS) and decreasing time on site.
• Lightweight: The spring steel posts are lightweight and easily maneuvered into position for installation. The design also means the barrier system absorbs the impact load and reduces the tension transferred into the slab.
• Fully compliant: Independently tested to BS 6399, also meeting new European Standards BS EN 1991.1.1, which has superseded the British Standard (except 75 kN which is un-tested).
• Can be used in conjunction with an anti-climb mesh and BS 6180 compliant handrail.
• Reduces the loading onto the concrete slab by around 50%.
• Shallow embedment available.
