New Partnership Announcement with A- Safe
A New Era for Warehouse Safety in Ireland
For nearly 50 years, we at Storage Systems have been committed to providing Ireland with the highest quality racking and shelving solutions. We’ve built our reputation on durability, reliability, and unparalleled service, becoming a trusted partner to businesses across the country. We have always known that the best storage systems are only part of the solution; true excellence lies in a workplace that is both efficient and safe.
Creating the safest and most advanced workplaces in the world
That’s why we are incredibly proud to announce our new strategic partnership with A-SAFE. A-SAFE has pioneered workplace safety for years, creating solutions that are scientifically engineered to protect people, assets, and infrastructure. This collaboration is a natural and exciting next step for us.
PIONEERING WORKPLACE SAFETY
This alliance combines our proven expertise in physical storage with A-SAFE’s advanced technology and its significant advantages over traditional steel. A-SAFE’s polymer barriers are designed to absorb and deflect impacts, recovering from collisions without deforming, which protects not only vehicles and assets but most importantly, the safety of your employees. The Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) is reduced due to A-SAFE’s superior durability, ability to withstand multiple impacts, and minimal maintenance requirements compared to traditional steel barriers. This is a strategic investment in long-term safety for your employees, operational efficiency, and brand reputation.
The Science of Safety
A-SAFE barriers minimize damage with advanced energy absorption. Steel barriers experience an average of 28 damaging impacts per 100 metres annually. In comparison, A-SAFE barriers experience just three. This is thanks to their engineered design, which absorbs and dissipates impact energy – delivering consistent, repeatable performance with every impact. Unlike steel, A-SAFE barriers flex and return to their original shape after impact. This reduces the need for repairs or replacements, saving time, labor, and maintenance costs. A-SAFE customers, on average, receive a return on investment within 18 months, with a lifetime ROI that’s over 45% higher than steel.
The Worlds most trusted industrial barriers
Furthermore, A-SAFE’s commitment to safety extends to the environment. Over a five-year period, A-SAFE barriers have a total carbon footprint of just 2,665 kg, while steel Armco barriers create 17,968 kg. This means steel Armco has over six times the CO₂ emissions of an equivalent A-SAFE barrier. This focus on sustainability aligns with our own values and helps our clients make more environmentally conscious decisions.
We are providing solutions that work — Safeguarding your staff, mitigating risk, protecting your assets, and building more resilient supply chains.
Protect your people
In busy industrial environments, safeguarding pedestrians is not just a safety measure – it’s a moral imperative. A-SAFE’s world-leading pedestrian protection systems are scientifically engineered to reduce risk, prevent accidents, and save lives.
From impact barriers that flex and recover to walkway planning and safety gates, every solution is designed to keep people safe from workplace hazards. Trusted by global brands and tested to the highest standards, A-SAFE helps you create safer, smarter spaces where your people can move with confidence.
Reducing operating costs
After 18 months, steel keeps costing you money, A-SAFE saves it.
The low initial cost of steel masks a lifecycle of never-ending repairs, floor damage and operational downtime. At A-SAFE, we not only invented the world’s first polymer industrial safety barrier but we have spent decades improving it and engineering new solutions. We test our products to their limits, ensuring the highest quality and providing our customers with the best safety solutions in the world.
We don’t just test in a facility, we test in the real world.
We compared 100m of steel barrier to 100m of A-SAFE barrier in a busy warehouse. During the 60-day trial, we found that steel’s lower upfront cost masks high maintenance and replacement rates, increasing costs and downtime throughout your facility.
Safety Standards
Why are standards and compliance important?
Industrial workplace safety requires official safety standards to ensure facilities and their workers are always properly protected. As a Health and Safety or Operations Manager, it’s always reassuring to see safety products that adhere to the necessary safety standards, as it means they can be trusted to deliver on their performance promises.
At A-SAFE, all our products are designed and tested in-line with the relevant standards. Not only that, but we continue to push for greater accountability and clearer regulations around safety barriers – to ensure that the industry, as a whole, raises the bar for site safety.
Independently verified safety standards and certification
We believe in the need for safety standards to make workplaces safer, that’s why we’re independently verified and certified by the below standards, codes of practice and testing bodies.
