The Australian Trellis Door Company (ATDC) has recently installed its portable expanding barricades to the Woolworths metro store at Armadale, an inner city suburb of Melbourne.(image attached)
This installation was a prototype application to secure Woolworths’ liquor aisles with a portable expanding barricade that would deter persons from being able to reach the bottles of alcohol through the barricade or alternatively if they were indeed able to reach through the barrier then to prevent them being able to pass bottles of alcohol through it.The results were successful and the barricade is serving its purpose as a powerful loss prevention tool reducing both theft and shrinkage.This is addition to its dual purpose function of ensuring that the licensee is compliant with the prevailing state liquor licensing legislation.
ATDC ‘s S04-1 DD (Double Diamond) mesh portable expanding barricade was the product of choice for this interesting Armadale application with its tightly interwoven mesh creating a narrow 65mm pitch between the metal cross linkages making it extremely difficult to reach through the barrier.The black powdercoated barrier at Armadale is 2020mm high and has a seamless floor mounted locking arrangement to secure the installation ie rather than attaching and locking the barrier to the aisle structure itself-the floor mounted locking mechanism has a surface mounted laser cut stainless steel floor plate to which the barrier engages at each end and locks.During trading hours the trackless, portable barricade is wheeled away on heavy duty non marking rubber bottom castors to back of house for storage completely out of sight.For further information on the double diamond mesh barricade visit www.trellisdoors.com.au/product/commercial-security/barriers-and-cafe-barriers/safety-barriers-s04-1dd
The double diamond mesh portable expanding barricade has been tested for safety under the latest OH+S legislation and it has also been tested by an independent NATA testing authority for compliance with numerous provisions of the Australian Standards for Temporary Fencing and Hoardings AS 4687-2007,namely for dynamic impact,simulated climbing and foothold aperture tests,having passed these tests successfully.The successful testing also confirms this steel fabricated product’s characteristics as being rigid,formidable and strong yet extremely easy to operate.
ATDC is already installing these barricades to other members of the Woolworths organization including both BWS and Dan Murphy’s liquor stores.See article at www.trellisdoors.com.au/bws-select-quality-portable-fencing
