Crash protection guard GuardRite® Steel

Overview
The GuardRite® steel safety barrier provides rigid, in-plant protection to separate pedestrians, safeguard equipment and deflect vehicle impacts in warehouses and industrial facilities.

Key highlights

• Heavy-duty steel construction
• Available as single-rail (23" / 580 mm) or double-rail (44" / 1120 mm)
• Impact-rated: typical configurations include 10,000 lb (4,500 kg) @ 4 mph and heavy-duty options up to 30,000 lb (13,636 kg) @ 2.5 mph
• Standard 10 ft (3.05 m) lengths cut to specification

Benefits

• Protection: Mitigates damage from forklifts and industrial vehicles to equipment, infrastructure and personnel.
• Installation: Bolt‑together components and base‑plate anchors allow fast installation without disrupting operations.
• Durability: Steel construction maintains integrity in high-traffic, heavy-use environments.

Safety
GuardRite® barriers are engineered to remain in place under impact to protect workers, machinery and building structures.

• Defense: Reduces risk of vehicle intrusion into pedestrian or sensitive equipment zones.
• Separation: Clearly delineates walkways, workstations and conveyor/pallet areas.
• Uptime: Helps prevent costly unplanned downtime and repairs.

Design & performance
Simple bolt‑together design allows rapid deployment; rail profile and post design provide predictable energy absorption for repeated impacts without major disruption to operations.

Product applications
Ideal where rigid, visible protection is required, including:

• Walkway and pedestrian segregation
• Conveyor line separation
• Loading-dock workstation protection
• Equipment and panel protection (electrical, HVAC, etc.)

Typical industries
