How Lead-Free Industrial Mobile Radiation Shielding Barriers Compare
How Lead-Free Industrial Mobile Radiation Shielding Barriers Compare
Industrial imaging and NDT teams need shielding that moves with the work, survives tough floors, and passes inspection. Intech’s new Industrial Mobile Radiation Shielding Barrier – Leadfree is purpose-built for that reality: a rigid, flame-resistant, lead-free panel on locking industrial casters with a stainless frame and aluminum diamond-plate skin, manufactured in Houston, Texas.
What You’re Getting (Product Snapshot)
- Pb-equivalency options: Panels offered in 1/32", 1/16", 3/32", or 1/8" lead equivalency to match your stamped plan.
- Rugged construction: Stainless-steel frame/legs with aluminum diamond-plate surfaces for impact resistance and easy cleaning.
- Industrial mobility: Locking industrial casters for smooth positioning and stable operation. (This model’s standard mobility is casters.)
- Safety & durability: Rigid flame-resistant barrier designed for high-traffic areas.
Need a different mount? Intech can build custom wall-mount or stationary (on feet) versions on request; contact us for a tailored configuration that keeps the same lead-free core and finish.
Why Choose Lead-Free in Industry
- Future-ready compliance: Lead-free composites remove hazardous-waste concerns at end-of-life and simplify site audits and export scenarios.
- Freight & handling: Composite cores help optimize shipping weight versus traditional all-lead builds; pairing with other Intech items in one shipment reduces total freight touches.
- Operational flexibility: Mobile barriers create instant operator-safe zones around large parts without building a fixed bunker.
Head-to-Head Comparison
| Feature | Intech Lead-Free Industrial Mobile Barrier | Traditional Lead Mobile Barrier | Ad-Hoc Shielding (Lead Bricks / Temp Panels) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Protection Options | 1/32", 1/16", 3/32", 1/8" Pb-equiv (multiple SKUs) | Usually fixed to one or two Pb levels | Varies by stack; easy to mismatch |
| Mobility | Locking industrial casters (standard). Custom wall-mount or stationary by request. | Casters common; wall/stationary varies by vendor | Low mobility; time-consuming to move |
| Frame & Skin | Stainless frame + aluminum diamond-plate skin (impact-resistant, cleanable) | Painted steel; sheet metal skins more prone to scuffs | No frame; exposed seams, more cleanup |
| Fire & Durability | Rigid, flame-resistant construction for high-traffic floors | Varies; many are not specified as flame-resistant | N/A; bricks are durable but not integrated |
| Freight & Setup | LTL with crating included; roll-in setup; made-to-order lead time listed on page | Similar freight; weight can be higher | Multiple pallets; build on site; seam-leak risk |
| Best Uses | NDT bays, large-part inspection, security screening lines, research/QA cells | General imaging protection | Hot-spot reinforcement, prototypes |
Where This Barrier Shines on the Floor
- Dynamic cells and shared bays: Lock casters for steady work; release to re-position for the next job.
- High-traffic environments: Stainless structure and diamond-plate face shrug off bumps, carts, and tool contact.
- Compliance with clarity: Pb-equivalency is labeled by SKU; match the rating to your physicist’s plan and keep documentation for audits.
Configuration Guide (Fast Spec)
- Pick your Pb-equivalency: 1/32", 1/16", 3/32", or 1/8" (per your stamped plan).
- Choose height/width: Common 48"-wide panels offered at 72", 84", or 96" tall; see product page for current pricing/availability.
- Decide on view needs: Solid panel by default; ask Intech about adding a rated viewing window if your workflow benefits from line-of-sight.
- Ask about customs: If floor space is tight or motion is rare, request a custom wall-mount or stationary build with the same lead-free core and finish.
Budget & Freight Notes
- Crating included; LTL quoted by ZIP: Pricing on the page includes crating; final freight is ZIP-based.
- Consolidate shipments: Bundle with leaded glass, lead bricks, or lead-free curtains to reduce touches and total freight per pallet.
Key Takeaways
- Intech’s lead-free industrial barrier brings rigid, flame-resistant protection with locking industrial casters—built for tough floors and fast re-positions.
- Flexible Pb-equivalency (1/32" to 1/8") means you match the stamped plan without over- or under-spec.
- If this doesn't sound perfect, Intech can help you build a custom version to fit your needs.
