A simple, fast termination for Armco barrier rail ends
Cut Armco rail ends are sharp. They present a risk to anyone working or passing nearby. The Armco End covers these exposed edges quickly and without fuss. It pushes directly onto the rail end with no fixings and no tools. That simplicity is the point. Fast to fit, effective immediately, no installation time wasted.
It suits any location where an Armco barrier run ends at a cut rail. It is particularly useful where the cut has left a burred or uneven edge that presents an additional injury risk. The polymer profile covers the full end face of the rail, eliminating the sharp edge cleanly.
Colour-fast yellow polymer construction
The Armco End uses polyethylene dipped in colour-fast yellow. The bright yellow finish provides immediate high-contrast visibility at the end of every barrier run. Drivers, forklift operators and pedestrians can identify the barrier termination point from a distance. That visibility is built into the material rather than added as a separate component.
The colour-fast formula ensures the yellow finish does not fade over time in indoor or outdoor environments. The material is fully recyclable and manufactured in the UK. It suits 310mm x 85mm corrugated Armco rails and stands at 338mm high to align with the standard Armco rail profile.
Two size options
The Armco End is available in two sizes. The small end at 135mm long suits tighter installations where a compact profile is sufficient to cover the cut end. The large end at 240mm long suits installations where greater coverage of the exposed rail end is required. Both sizes use the same push-fit installation method and are compatible with all standard 310mm x 85mm Armco barrier systems.
Selecting the right size depends on the length of the exposed cut end and the level of coverage required at the termination point. Both sizes deliver the same high-visibility yellow finish and the same push-fit simplicity.
Where the Armco End is specified
The Armco End suits any Armco barrier installation where cut rail ends need a quick, visible and tool-free termination. It is the simplest and fastest accessory in the Brandsafe Armco range. Typical applications include warehouse perimeter Armco runs, car park barrier terminations, service yard installations and any location where an Armco rail has been cut to length on site and the cut end needs covering immediately.
For installations requiring diamond grade reflectors for night-time visibility, the Armco Safety End provides the same termination function with the addition of reflectors and a bolt-fixed installation. For pedestrian-specific terminations, the Armco Pedestrian Safety End provides a smoother profile designed for high-footfall areas.
Supporting compliance and duty of care
Under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, employers must maintain workplace infrastructure in a condition that does not place people at unnecessary risk. Sharp, exposed Armco rail ends represent a foreseeable and avoidable hazard. The Armco End addresses this in the fastest and most cost-effective way available. Fitting it takes seconds. The risk it removes is immediate.
For facilities managers, H&S managers and specifiers, fitting appropriate end terminations across all Armco installations demonstrates a thorough and proactive approach to infrastructure safety. The result is a safer, more visible and more professionally finished barrier system across the full site.
