In busy warehouses, there is a high risk for accidents around every corner. From turning forklifts and distracted visitors or workers, use guardrails to:
✓ Increased safety: Bright safety yellow guardrail increase visibility and safety.
✓ Prevent accidents from happening: By protecting pedestrian walkways from accidental impacts
✓ Protect your assets from impacts: From expensive equipment or goods to sensitive and volatile chemicals or equipment.
✓ Three systems available: Steel guardrails for less frequent impacts and rebounding polycarbonate guardrails or rebounding polymer safety barriers to withstand frequent impacts.
✓ Withstands impacts: Able to withstand impacts of 10,000 lbs (steel), 16,000 lbs (polycarbonate) or 31,600 lbs (polymer).
Information

Steel Guardrail for WarehousesSteel guard rails can stop accidents between pedestrians and forklifts from happening. |
Rebounding Flexible Polycarbonate Guardrails for WarehousesThese flexible guardrail absorb and then deflect impacts to reduce damage. |
Polymer vs. Steel Safety BarriersSee how polymer safety barriers stacks up against steel guardrails. |
Impact Tests on Polymer Safety BarriersThe most heavily tested safety barriers in the world. Design to improve pedestrian segregation and protect people in the busiest industrial environments. |
Models
 |
Steel Guardrail SystemFor areas where accidental impacts are possible but less likely. Impacted tested for 10,000 lbs at 4 mph (6.4 kpm). Modular design makes it easy to replace if damaged from multiple impacts. |
 |
Rebounding Flexible Polycarbonate GuardrailFor areas where repeat impacts are likely. Absorbs and deflects impacts to reduce damage to guardrail and forklifts. Also they prevent costly concrete damage because they don’t transfer impacts to their anchors. |
 |
Rebounding iFlex Polymer Safety BarrierThe best protection for areas where repeat impacts are likely. Absorbs and deflects impacts to reduce damage to barrier, forklifts and flooring. Comes in single, double or triple rail heights to protect your area. |
