3 FLEX IMPACT The original polymer barrier system FLEX IMPACT was specifically developed to create a safe working environment at a competitive total cost. The product range offers effective protection for people, machinery, buildings and infrastructure in places where forklift trucks or other vehicles are used. FLEX IMPACT helps avoid costly machine downtime, expensive repairs and, more importantly, the consequences of human injuries due to accidental collisions in the work place. That is why the FLEX IMPACT product range was tested to meet and exceed the strictest of requirements. In addition, FLEX IMPACT products are fully modular and straightforward to install. Each element can be easily positioned, and if required, replaced. Flexible and impact-resistant rail & post system Guillotine locking system Ergonomic multicolour rails (wide choice of safety colors) Fully reinforced profiles and edges Extremely strong plastic with active memory (fully colored) Tension-regulating locking systeem Perfectly designed baseplates with highly efficient fasteners MODULAR STRONG IMPACT RESISTANT 3

4 TECHNOLOGY Highly innovative, extremely impact-resistant and eco-friendly Before Impact After Still too often iron and steel are used in industrial safety barriers, posing significant threats. The materials deform with every collision (resulting in expensive paint jobs, repairs or replacements), fasteners are torn loose from damaged concrete flooring (resulting in even more expensive repairs), the parts are heavy and difficult to handle, and upon collision their rigidity may cause them to break altogether. FLEX IMPACT is made of thick-walled, reinforced polymer-based (plastic) elements. These elements absorb the impact of a collision and offer better impact resistance, even in case of high collision speeds. The material is flexible, which means it returns to its original shape after impact, alleviating the need for repairs. Why plastic? Features* compressible and flexible absorbs accidental impacts (active memory) returns to its original state after impact resistant to rust, corrosion and chemicals easy to handle, assemble and maintain modular, lightweight with extremely long life Benefits* no damage to your infrastructure no damage to vehicles or rolling stock no damage to the barriers or the floor no loss in productivity your staff is safe and loves the product True Value* no damage = no repairs = SAVINGS no loss in productivity = SAVINGS your staff is safe, happy and more efficient = SAVINGS Create an overall safer, better looking and cost effective environment FORWARD THINKING AND GREEN Boplan uses all available resources to offer qualitative and competitive safety solutions, based on a passion for sustainable business. We apply a Cradle-to-Grave philosophy whereby used installations are taken back and recycled into raw material for other businesses. Our own production waste is re-used in the same way. In addition, our products are very light and as such don t stress the environment with heavy and polluting transport. As a result, our products have a lower total footprint when compared to traditional barrier materials. REUSE REDUCE RECYCLE Our manufacturing and office buildings also extend this philosophy through on-site solar power generation, sound construction materials, optimal use of natural lighting and ventilation controlled by heat pumps. * Assumes normal product use 4

11 TRAFFIC BARRIERS Protection against forklift trucks and other vehicle traffic FLEX IMPACT Traffic Barriers were especially designed to protect machinery and buildings against accidental collisions of forklift trucks and other heavy-duty vehicles. They are mainly intended for industrious environments where fast and heavy loads are handled. As opposed to traditional barriers, Boplan barriers are made from a polymer-based material. This makes them strong and extra impact resistant, so that when the material absorbs the impact, fasteners are not torn from the floor and the barriers regain their original shape after the collision. Because of their modular construction, the Traffic Barriers enable phased finishing or limitless extension.

Just push the RackBull against the rack rail and you will automatically hear a click. The RackBull is now connected. Quick, efficient and extremely simple! ¾ One size, two colors * RackBull not only distinguishes itself thanks to its one size fits all, but also because of its intelligent and well thought-out choice of colors. In addition to the standard safety yellow, the RackBull is also available in a transparent version. This allows you to visualize important information (such as bar codes, rack numbers, product information etc.) by inserting a cardboard, plastic strip or chart in the rack protector. One size fits all In the future this transparent version will become increasingly important, as more and more countries are implementing a yearly safety inspection of the racks. Thanks to the transparent color this inspection can be done without having to remove the rack protectors first. This could be a significant time saver! (*) Other colors are available on request.

26 TESTED AND APPROVED Independent crash tests as the ultimate proof TESTED AND APPROVED The piece of mind Boplan offers relies on the most advanced testing methods ever used in our field! First, specialized staff perform both static and dynamic tests on both materials and products. Second, we execute realistic field tests on our premises. Finally, our products are subjected to the toughest tests by specialized and accredited crash testing agencies. In fact, Boplan is the first supplier to subject barriers for industrial use to a certified crash test on a racing circuit whereby forklift-trucks crash into our barriers at various angles and at speeds of up to 12 mph. High speed cameras then registered the speeds, impact angles, deformations and precise impact place. All this data has enabled us to manufacture and launch products that exceed even the most severe requirements. All tests showed the barrier withstanding the impacts, as well as no damage to the forklift. In addition, Boplan collaborated with recognized consulting firms and research centers in order to incorporate all retrieved data and develop a special software with the ability to predict behavior, load, impact, deflection, tension and other parameters of our products in the event of simulated collisions. These simulations are not just achieved by mere extrapolation, but rather by advanced data and mathematical logic models created specifically for our products. Thanks to our knowhow, Boplan has been asked to serve as an adviser in helping develop our sector s safety standards. 26
