The delivery area of a supermarket is a challenging zone, as forklift trucks, pallet trucks, delivery vans and transport trolleys move in close proximity to walls, skirting boards, doors and other components. Even minor bumps, wheel contact or side impacts can cause considerable damage to walls, surfaces and parts of the building over time.
This is precisely where the “Sustainable wall protection and collision protection” project from Green Tera Protect comes in. With intelligently planned protection systems, both the building fabric and vehicles can be effectively protected. The use of such systems is not only economically worthwhile – it also contributes to value retention, a hygienic appearance and safety.
A central aim of the project is the effective protection of the building structure. The targeted use of wall protection and collision protection systems prevents walls, plinths and wall connections from being damaged by the daily use of industrial trucks. This preserves the structural substance in the long term and avoids costly renovations.
Damage caused by pallet trucks, pallets, or forklifts often leads to small but recurring repairs. Over time, these add up to considerable costs. With a well-designed protection concept, such expenses can be significantly reduced—saving time, money, and resources.
Flawless walls and clean surfaces contribute significantly to maintaining the value of the property. Green Tera Protect protection systems prevent wear and tear and mechanical damage, keeping the building well maintained and functional in the long term. At the same time, an intact appearance conveys professionalism and order—both for employees and for customers and suppliers.
A clearly structured delivery area ensures greater safety in operations. Defined protected areas and visually recognizable boundaries guide vehicles and reduce uncontrolled movements. This reduces the risk of accidents or damage to property – an important contribution to a smooth and safe working environment.
The integrity of walls is particularly important in areas with high hygiene requirements, such as the food trade. Smooth, clean, and undamaged surfaces are easier to clean and comply with applicable hygiene regulations. A well-maintained delivery area also inspires confidence and supports a positive brand image.
Green Tera Protect offers modular systems for protecting the delivery zone and delivery area:
Wall protection (rear-ventilated): A rear-ventilated wall protection profile protects the surface without completely sealing it – the wall material can continue to “breathe”.
Impact protection and collision protection strips:
Partially elastic, shock-absorbing and made from recycled plastic – they absorb light impacts and prevent rutting.
Corner collision protection with guide roller: The risk of bumping is particularly high at corners – here the integrated roller ensures that energy is dissipated to the side.
Floor profile (skirting board): In the lower areas, the floor solution protects against wheel contact and lateral movements at close range.
The systems can be individually adapted to specific conditions, such as wall dimensions or installation situations.
Many Green Tera Protect products are made predominantly from recycled plastic and are manufactured in Germany. The systems are classified in fire protection class B2, highly resilient, durable and food-safe.
A wall protection and collision protection project in the delivery area of a supermarket is not a luxury, but a sensible investment in terms of cost and safety. Green Tera Protect systems prevent damage to the building structure, protect vehicles and reduce maintenance costs in the long term – and all this with sustainable manufacturing and robust design.
Installing a professional wall protection and collision protection system is a relatively small investment – especially when compared to the long-term savings it enables. Even minor collision damage can result in significant repair costs, as plaster, tiles, paint or floor connections need to be replaced. Preventive protection eliminates many of these recurring costs permanently.
Without protective systems, regular repairs in the delivery area are inevitable. This work not only disrupts operations, but also incurs additional material and personnel costs. With the durable protective solutions from Green Tera Protect, these expenses are significantly reduced – the investment often pays for itself within a few months.
Repair work during normal operations often means downtime, detours or restricted access to important areas. A permanently protected delivery area, on the other hand, ensures smooth processes and thus indirectly saves further costs, especially in busy supermarket locati
Green Tera Protect systems are made from robust, partially recycled materials and are designed for an extremely long service life. This not only reduces the environmental impact, but also the costs for replacement and disposal. Long-lasting wall protection is therefore not only a technical solution, but also an economically and ecologically sensible one.
A neat, clean delivery area looks professional and conveys reliability. And this applies to employees as well as suppliers and customers. Investing in protective systems therefore not only helps to preserve the substance of the store, but also strengthens the image of the entire store.
