Berry Systems, a member of the Hill and Smith Infrastructure Products Group, is the acknowledged UK market leader in the field of vehicle barriers for the protection of premises and personnel.

The company was formed in the 1970s and developed (and patented) a spring steel barrier system. After early tests at MIRA it was progressively adopted as the benchmark system for use in UK multi-storey car parks.

Over the last 30 years standards and authoritative recommendations have advanced considerably and the solutions offered by Berry Systems have matched, and in many cases, have exceeded these requirements. The product range has grown to cover a wide array of industrial and commercial situations. Products have been designed to protect plant and people from accidents with fork lift trucks, pallet trucks, trolleys etc as well as cars, vans and HGVs.

All products are independently tested to meet the relevant requirements of BS6399 and BS6180. In addition, Heavy Duty designs are available for up to 40 tonne vehicle impact.

Industrial vehicles cause millions of pounds of damage every year to plant and machinery. Tragically, many accidents involve injury to people as well, much of which could have been avoided. A sensible investment in high quality safety barriers from Berry Systems will quickly pay dividends in the form of reduced repairs to fork lift trucks, walls, racking, machinery and the like. Most importantly it will help to protect employees, visitors and the general public.
