Omega Safety Barriers
Omega Barriers safeguard your workplace from injuries and accidents caused by moving vehicles. These heavy-duty steel barriers protect people, machinery, building walls, shelving, conveyors,racks, finished product, loading docks and more.

Advantages

  • Designed to absorb the impact of a forklift, sweeper, and other in-plant vehicles.
  • Heavy-duty steel construction for superior strength and long term reliability.
  • Modular construction with standard components that is easily adaptable to most applications.
  • Easy to install and shipped with all necessary components and hardware.
  • Available in single or double rail heights that can be customized to fit any application.
  • Easy to expand or dismantle for relocation.
  • Variety of post baseplate designs and anchor arrangements to meet specific requirements.
  • Special angle brackets and inside corner brackets available.
  • Optional corner caps and wrap-around flairs.
  • Powder coated safety yellow for high visibility.

Structural Mounting Posts

Omega Safety Barriers feature structural mounting posts designed to be common in both in-line and corner applications. Only Omega offers you the versatility of both inside corners and special angles without using additional posts - ultimately saving you money.


Heavy-Duty High Strength Rail

Omega's high strength 12" rail is designed specifically for in-plant applications. Constructed from the highest quality hot rolled, cold rolled, 11 gauge steel. Rigid 2-rib rail design resists damage and offers the widest variety of mounting methods to meet any application.

Superior Connections

Omega’s unique barrier design offers a stronger rail to post connection. (3) grade 5 bolts with nuts and oversized washer gives you greater strength. This design uses the post to help distribute the energy from an impact over the entire system, so you are not relying strictly on the shear strength of a couple of bolts to keep the system from failing.

Removable Rails/Gate Assemblies

Omega's Removable Rail design offers the greatest amount of flexibility without compromising the overall strength of the Omega Barrier System. The cane bolt pin can be removed from either hinge, allowing the gate to swing right to left. When both pivot pins are removed, the section can be quickly removed and set to the side until access is no longer required.


OSHA Approved Safety Yellow

Omega's standard finish is an epoxy based heat cured powder coating, with ultraviolet and sea spray enhancements. This process offers you literally years of maintenance free protection, even for outdoor applications. The bright safety yellow color acts as a visual, as well as a physical, barrier between your vehicle traffic and your personnel, building, or equipment.
