Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)
Here is a list of the FAQs related to Armco Z posts.
Why should you choose Armco Z posts?
Choosing Armco Z posts from Armco Barrier Supplies ensures you’re selecting a cost-effective, versatile solution for lower-risk areas. These posts are available in multiple sizes and both bolt-down and dig-in options, catering to various installation needs. They provide sufficient protection while allowing for easy integration with handrail extensions, making them an adaptable choice for diverse settings. Opt for Armco Z posts for reliable, flexible safety barriers tailored to your specific requirements.
What is the difference between Armco Z posts and Armco RSJ posts?
Armco Z posts are designed for lower-risk areas and are more cost-effective, offering flexibility with bolt-down and dig-in installation options. Armco rolled steel joists (RSJ posts) provide higher levels of protection and strength, suitable for areas requiring more robust safety measures. The main difference lies in their intended application and structural design, with RSJ posts being the choice for heavier-duty requirements.
Where are Armco Z posts suitable for?
Armco Z posts are ideally suited for environments with lower-risk levels and lighter traffic. These posts are a great choice for areas that need reliable safety barriers but are low-risk areas that don’t face the high-impact threats that might require heavier-duty solutions like RSJ posts. They are versatile enough to be used in both commercial and private settings, providing effective perimeter protection while being cost-efficient.
What are Armco posts made from?
Armco barriers posts, integral to crash barrier systems, are fabricated in-house from high-quality galvanised steel. This steel is specially treated to comply with the British Standard BS 1461, ensuring it has a hot-dip galvanised finish. This process coats the steel in a layer of zinc, providing a robust barrier against corrosion and enhancing its durability. The utilisation of galvanised steel to this standard is critical, as it guarantees the armco barrier posts can withstand the elements and maintain structural integrity over time, making them ideal for off-highway safety barriers and other similar applications.
