BLACK BULL FLEX+ L-Line Impact Protection Railing with Underrun Guard (205.17.9494)
The BLACK BULL FLEX+ L-Line Impact Protection Railing with Underrun Guard provides continuous, two-level protection for people, machinery, pallet racking and building structures. The upper polypropylene crossbars protect at vehicle and work-area height, while the integrated low-level guard helps prevent forklift forks, wheels and other low-profile hazards from passing beneath the railing. Its flexible construction absorbs and distributes impact energy before returning towards its original shape. Certified in accordance with PAS 13:2017 and tested to approximately 7,000 joules, the modular bolt-down system is available as a Starter Set, Centre Extension Set or Corner Extension Set.



BLACK BULL FLEX+ L-Line Impact Protection Railing with Underrun Guard
The BLACK BULL FLEX+ L-Line Impact Protection Railing with Underrun Guard provides comprehensive separation and impact protection across two levels.
The upper L-Line crossbars protect people, machinery, pallet racking and building structures at vehicle and work-area height. Meanwhile, the integrated underrun guard protects close to floor level against forklift forks, pallet trucks, wheels and low-level collisions.
This creates a continuous protective line from the floor upwards, making the system ideal for busy warehouses, logistics centres and production environments with mixed pedestrian and vehicle traffic.
Two Levels of Impact Protection
Conventional railings may leave an exposed gap between the floor and the main protective crossbars. The integrated underrun guard closes this low-level opening and helps prevent forks, wheels and other vehicle components from passing beneath the railing.
Combined with the upper L-Line crossbars, this provides enhanced protection for employees, workplace vehicles, machinery, pallet racking and surrounding infrastructure.
Flexible Energy Absorption
Unlike a rigid steel barrier, the FLEX+ system absorbs impact energy through controlled elastic deformation. During a collision, the polypropylene components flex to cushion the impact and distribute the resulting forces across the protective line.
Once the force has been removed, the system returns towards its original shape. This helps maintain the railing's protective function and visibility while reducing the risk of permanent deformation.
PAS 13 Certified Performance
The BLACK BULL FLEX+ L-Line with Underrun Guard is certified in accordance with PAS 13:2017 and tested to an impact load of approximately 7,000 joules.
Its wide-area force distribution helps reduce concentrated loads on individual posts, fixings and sections of the floor. This supports a stable and durable installation in demanding industrial environments.
Crossbars, Underrun Guard and Posts
The polymer crossbars form a continuous and highly visible protective line. They help prevent workplace vehicles from entering work areas or striking vulnerable machinery, racking and building structures.
The integrated low-level guard provides targeted protection against forklift forks, tyres, pallet trucks and other collision hazards close to the floor.
The supporting posts receive and distribute the transmitted forces throughout the barrier run, helping maintain stability across the complete protection system.
FlexLink Connection Technology
FlexLink connection technology distributes impact forces between adjoining crossbars, posts and barrier sections instead of concentrating the load at a single point.
This helps reduce stress on individual anchor points and the surrounding floor substrate. It can also help minimise loose posts, damaged fixings and maintenance requirements following repeated impacts.
Impact-Resistant FLEX+ Bases
Each FLEX+ Base connects the railing post to the ground anchor and incorporates an impact-resistant outer shell.
The base protects the internal screw connection from direct contact and everyday operational damage. Its shaped design also helps reduce the risk of damage to the tyres and wheels of forklift trucks and pallet trucks.
Force-Absorbing Ground Anchors
The FLEX+ Base ground anchor combines robust concrete anchoring with integrated force-absorbing rubber dampers.
These dampers help reduce the loads transferred to the screw connection and floor during an impact. This provides a stable bolt-down installation while helping protect the substrate against repeated dynamic forces.
Designed for Repeated Impacts
The highly elastic polypropylene construction is designed to remain functional following repeated knocks and minor collisions.
Its ability to deform and recover helps reduce permanent damage, component replacement, maintenance costs and operational downtime in high-traffic environments.
Modular Impact Protection System
The BLACK BULL FLEX+ L-Line with Underrun Guard is available in three modular configurations. The Starter Set creates an individual protective section or the beginning of a longer run, while the Centre and Corner Extension Sets allow the system to be expanded.

Continuous Protection for Traffic and Work Areas
The BLACK BULL FLEX+ L-Line with Underrun Guard provides a clearly visible physical boundary between workplace vehicles, pedestrian areas and operational equipment.
The upper crossbars protect at vehicle and work-area height, while the lower guard helps prevent underrun and low-level collision damage. This makes the system particularly suitable for environments with frequent forklift and pallet truck movements.
Flexible Protection for Demanding Workplaces
The modular system can be configured to protect straight runs, corners and larger operational areas. Additional sections can be incorporated as workplace layouts and protection requirements change.
With PAS 13 certification, an approximate 7,000-joule test load and flexible impact absorption, the L-Line with Underrun Guard provides dependable protection for demanding indoor industrial environments.
