Impact Recovery

10/22/2026

Hazard markers are supposed to be a reliable warning system for drivers. Too often, they're a recurring line item on a maintenance budget instead.

Every marker that gets knocked down and stays down is a moment when drivers miss out on the information they needed.

Impact Recovery's Hazard Markers are engineered to absorb repeated impacts and return upright, with materials built to resist UV, ozone, and hydrocarbons over the long haul.

See you in Champaign and Columbus!

This week, our team is in two places at once, covering both sides of what we do.

📍 Pack Expo – Chicago, IL | Booth LL-10503 | 📅 Oct. 18–21
One of the largest gatherings for the packaging and processing industry, covering numerous topics such as automation, sustainability, food safety and digitalization. Kenneth Parrott and Kurt Oakman are on the show floor to discuss the safety angle through SlowStop® protective guarding solutions: bollards, guardrails, columns and racks protection with impact absorbing capabilities.

📍 Annual Local Road Conference – Sioux Falls, SD | Booth 70 | 📅 Oct. 19–21
This local road conference gathers highway superintendents, county engineers, municipal street managers, equipment operators, consulting engineers and elected officials to discuss efficient ways to build and maintain safe local roadways.
Rich Neal will be there to talk about our innovative traffic safety products built to flex on impact and return upright, so a hit doesn't turn straight into a replacement order.

Whether you are interested in the safety of warehouse floors or county roads, come find us at either show!

That ghost costume isn't fooling anyone. The forklift underneath it is the actual scary part.

Every warehouse has a list of near-misses nobody wrote down. The turn taken a little too wide. The pallet set down a little too hard. The column that has been clipped so many times it really is starting to show…

SlowStop® protective guarding was built to avoid those incidents altogether. Bollards, guardrails and rack end protectors that take the hit and stay standing, protecting your people and property!

Five years ago, Nancy joined Impact Recovery. Since then, she has become one of the people this team counts on every day.

Every product we ship depends on the people behind it, and Nancy’s consistency, care and commitment have helped keep our San Antonio operations moving!

Thank you, Nancy, for five great years. We’re proud to have you on the team, and we’re looking forward to many more!

Installation should never be the hard part of protection.

In this video, Ken walks you through a typical SlowStop® protective guarding install: no core drilling, no hangups, no shutting down operations.

Whether you're installing bollards, guardrails, column protectors, or rack end guards, the process is designed to be fast and straightforward.

We are in Las Vegas for the NACS Show!

NACS brings together the convenience and fuel retailing industries to share the ideas and insights that will make the future of this sector.

Marko Vojcanin, Jason Schneider and Kurt S. Oakman are at booth N2875 to talk protection with SlowStop® modular solutions: energy-absorbing bollards and barriers that flex on impact and return upright, without transferring damage into the concrete around them.

If storefront protection is on your list this year, come find us.

We've had some good customer feedback over the years… but this might be our favorite yet. 🐻

Filmed in Ouray, Colorado: a bear crossing the street, right inside the crosswalk, right past one of our in-street pedestrian signs. No hesitation, no jaywalking. Model citizen.

When a sign is bright, well-placed, and standing where it belongs, the message comes through loud and clear. Ours are built to stay that way too, flexing when they're struck and popping right back up.

Ouray, your bears are better behaved than most… 😄
