The Benefits of Using RSJ Posts

Let’s take a look at some of the benefits of using Armco RSJ posts:

Robust and Impact-Resistant Construction

RSJ posts are the backbone of any Armco barrier system. Their primary role is to ensure that the crash barrier remains firmly in place, even under the most demanding conditions. They’re robust and capable of withstanding heavy impacts, making RSJ posts the go-to choice for reinforcing off-highway safety barrier systems, ensuring they perform optimally when it matters most.

Versatility in Applications

Due to their availability in different sizes, RSJ posts are useful in various applications. In the unfortunate event of a collision, RSJ posts play a crucial role in safeguarding buildings, structures, and pedestrians by maintaining their strength and stability, thereby mitigating potential harm and damage.

Integral Part of Armco Barrier Systems

RSJ posts are used in conjunction with beams to form the complete Armco barrier system. This combination enhances the barriers’ effectiveness, ensuring they offer maximum protection. The easy installation of RSJ posts into the barrier system is key to its ability to absorb and withstand significant impacts and forces, such as those from out-of-control vehicles.

Different types of RSJ Posts

At Armco Direct, we have a variety of RSJ posts. We stock models such as the 610 Bolt Down Post for cars and LGV, which is an affordable option that is compatible with all barriers. The 560 Bolt Down Shock Absorbing Post for forklift trucks is a slightly more durable option. Both will withstand daily wear and tear. 

If you want to create a pedestrian route, then the 760 Bolt Down Post with handrail extensions is a good option. These posts are simple to install – instead of digging them into the ground, they can be bolted in place. This makes them ideal for pedestrianised areas and, due to their handrail extensions, they are suitable for easy installation of handrails.

If you require a RSJ Post in a loading bay area frequented by a heavy goods vehicle, then you may want to consider the 760 Bolt Down Shock Steel Post as your best option. This product has flexible rubber absorbers and is designed to be durable and withstand heavy knocks without needing to be replaced. If you are unsure of which one to go for and would like to know more, contact our team and one of the experts will be able to sit down and guide you through the potential options.
