- Strength and Durability – Our guardrails are extremely durable, and each one is designed to withstand the impact of an up to 10,000-pound load traveling at up to 4 or 5 miles per hour. This means they are highly effective at preventing damage to your property. We encourage you to place them in the aisles of your facility and in front of any material handling equipment.
- Heavy-Duty Construction – Our guardrails are made of high-tensile steel powder-coated yellow, which gives them even more collision resistance and prevents them from corroding over time. When installing your guardrails, we also anchor each base plate firmly to the floor and bolt each piece together to make the whole structure as strong as possible.
- Custom Options – We also offer several options to customize your guardrails for your specific needs. For example, you can choose from multiple rail lengths or add options such as offset columns, rail lift kits, or galvanized finish and other color options.
