In most industrial facilities, standard protection is sufficient – ready-made corner bumpers, linear barriers or wheel guides in typical sizes. But what if the layout of the hall, the maneuvering area or the specifics of the activity go beyond the scheme? In such cases, it’s worth considering custom-designed technical safeguards that comply with the facility’s requirements and operational realities.

1. when is it worth considering custom bumpers or barriers?

Customized security features work well in situations such as:

• The dimensions of the space are unusual (e.g., very narrow passageways, corners at acute angles),
• There is heavy traffic of forklifts or wheeled transport, and the points exposed to impact are not covered by standard protection,
• There are installation limitations – for example, the floor does not allow classic anchoring or it is necessary to attach to a steel structure,
• A greater protective height or special bending radius is needed than those available in off-the-shelf solutions,
• Protection is required simultaneously horizontally and vertically, such as when protecting machinery or structural columns.

2 Stages of designing custom bumpers and barriers

The process of ordering custom security at StalPoint is simple and transparent:

1. Needs analysis
   The client sends drawings, dimensions or situational photos. Information about the use of the space is also important at this stage.
2. Technology selection
   Production engineers determine whether a solution can be made using CNC bending, manual or robotic welding technology, and whether it requires additional protection (such as hot-dip galvanizing).
3. Quote and visualization
   Once the technical concept is approved, the client receives a quote and, if necessary, a visualization or drawing for approval.
4. Production and quality control
   Components are manufactured in our certified plant with implemented ISO 9001, 1090 and 3834 standards. Each batch undergoes internal dimensional and visual inspection.

3. are non-standard solutions compliant?

Yes, provided that the manufacturer has adequate facilities and a quality system in place. In the case of StalPoint:

• Production if necessary is subject to EN 1090 (for steel structures),
• Welding processes are ISO 3834 compliant, which is especially important for products exposed to dynamic loads,
• Quality control is carried out according to procedures derived from ISO 9001.

This means that even non-standard “made-to-measure” products maintain full repeatability and meet the technical requirements set by investors or health and safety inspectors.

4. security tailored to real-world conditions

Standard solutions are cheaper and available “off-the-shelf,” but in many cases their use involves compromises. In contrast, individually designed railings and bumpers provide:

• Precise fit in the space – no unnecessary backlash or collision with infrastructure,
• Higher protection efficiency – because the security element is exactly where it should be,
• Aesthetics and consistency with the environment, especially in modern halls or logistics centers.

Summary

Custom engineering protection is not a luxury – it is a necessity wherever safety cannot be based on schemes. A well-designed bumper or custom barrier can determine the longevity of infrastructure, the safety of people and the cost of operation.

If you’re in doubt whether a standard product will suffice – it’s worth consulting a manufacturer who can tailor a solution to real-world working conditions. At StalPoint, this approach is a daily occurrence.
