The Knuffi 11011 (PB-11011) Type B+ edge protection bumper guard is engineered specifically for heavy-duty impact mitigation and visual hazard marking on exposed structural edges. With its substantial 50 mm by 50 mm outer profile and an integrated 12 mm wide by 25 mm deep friction-fit channel, this profile delivers rapid, adhesive-free installation across diverse industrial facilities, manufacturing plants, and warehousing infrastructures.
Structural Steelwork and Heavy Flange Cushioning
Exposed structural steel elements present severe laceration and blunt-force collision risks in industrial workspaces. The Knuffi Type B+ profile is sized specifically to friction-fit over heavy 12 mm flanges, plate steel, channel steel, and I-beams without requiring drilling, screws, or surface adhesives.
- I-Beam and Column Flanges: Slides directly onto 12 mm thick structural steel column bases and framework flanges along active pedestrian corridors.
- Angle Iron and Steel Plate Edges: Buffers sharp, sheared plate edges and thick gusset plates in assembly yards and fabrication shops.
- Mezzanine Framing: Caps perimeter steel channels and access platform stringers to safeguard personnel working below or navigating narrow gangways.
Industrial Machinery, Conveyors, and Production Enclosures
Manufacturing equipment with protruding metal guards, sliding gates, and structural framing requires impact absorption to protect both equipment integrity and machine operators. The flexible polyurethane (PU) foam core provides instant rebound under kinetic contact, while the reverse-printed yellow and black hazard stripes visually delineate movement boundaries.
- Conveyor Side Guards: Shields external side frames and diverter brackets along automated parcel, packaging, or assembly conveyor lines.
- Machine Frames and Tooling Housings: Protects vulnerable corners of automated stamping stations, CNC machine perimeters, and industrial work cells.
- Maintenance Access Hatches: Cushions deburred sheet metal edges and access covers on heavy machinery, eliminating pinch and scrape hazards during scheduled servicing.
Warehousing, Logistics, and Material Handling Buffers
In high-throughput distribution hubs, internal transport equipment such as rolling carts, hand trucks, and tuggers frequently contact stationary storage fixtures. Outfitting storage structures with Knuffi Type B+ bumpers creates an immediate protective barrier that absorbs low-speed impacts.
- Racking Framework and Uprights: Clamps securely onto 12 mm bracing profiles and lower racking frames to prevent mechanical scuffing and impact damage.
- Loading Dock Framework: Protects door track channels, dock leveler sub-frames, and staging partitions from impact by loaded dollies and pallet trucks.
- Mobile Trolleys and Carts: Mounts directly to cart chassis flanges and mobile workbenches, dampening incidental collisions with facility walls or finished goods.
Low-Clearance Overhead Hazard Demarcation
Low-hanging infrastructure—including pipe bridges, overhead duct supports, conveyor underpasses, and structural lintels—poses continuous head-injury risks. Operating within a temperature range of -40°C to +100°C and meeting DIN 4102 B2 fire classification, Knuffi Type B+ guards serve as high-visibility tactile warning markers in overhead transit paths.
- Overhead Conveyor Crossings: Visualizes low-clearance steel channels spanning walkways.
- Crane Runway Extensions: Cushions bottom flanges of low-headroom monorails and bridge crane stops.
- Cold Storage Facility Thresholds: Maintains elasticity and protective grip down to -40°C on walk-in freezer door frames and chilled warehouse partition edges.
