Defender has launched the SLIM 5 – a new, innovative cable protector with an ultra-flat design of just 3.5 cm. Ideal for event locations, industrial settings, and public areas, the SLIM 5 ensures smooth passage with little to no barriers while providing maximum stability and safety. The SLIM 5 facilitates safe crossings and protection for pedestrians and wheelchair users, especially in areas with public traffic such as shopping centres, airports, or sporting events, and is resilient enough for large transport vehicles to drive over.

As a brand of the Adam Hall Group, Defender has been synonymous with high-quality cable protection solutions for over 25 years. Developed and manufactured in Germany, the products are used worldwide in a wide range of industries – from major events and construction projects to urban infrastructure.

Made from heavy-duty, recyclable polyurethane, the SLIM 5 can withstand loads weighing up to 5 tonnes per 25 × 30 cm. The patented 3D LaserGrip surface improves slip resistance, while the self-cleaning hinges ensure functionality over the long term. Five large cable ducts (34 × 20 mm) make flexible applications possible, whereas the eye-catching yellow cover with a secure locking system increases visibility, and everything is covered under a five-year guarantee.

“Our new SLIM 5 offers reliable protection in all areas where a particularly flat but robust cable protector is required,” explains Simon Land, Defender Product Manager. “Whether at trade fairs, festivals, or in industrial environments, the SLIM 5 ensures safe passage for pedestrians, wheelchairs, and vehicles.”
