With our d-flexx Flexible Impact protection all these problems are now things of the past!
The products of the d-flexx range absorbs the impact forces due to its flexible polymer material. Hardly any energy is directed via the floor screwing. Due to this fact, flexible impact protection doesn’t break out of the ground. Cost intensive floor repairs and downtime are prevented!
No more damages and scratches on your forklifts and pallet trucks - that’s what you get with d-flexx! Due to the deformable polymer material and the round forms, your vehicles won‘t get damaged in collisions any more and bumps get prevented effectively.
Our flexible impact protection d-flexx consists of coloured-through polymer material. The products are not coated or lacquered. This means for you: Never again problems with rusty impact protection and unwanted particles!
