Protecting Your People, Product, and Facility:
Industrial Guard Rail
In the dynamic environment of a warehouse, safety and efficiency are paramount. Guard rail plays a crucial role in maintaining these aspects. As a full-service storage and material handling company in the Southeast, we are committed to offering top-quality guard rail solutions. In this blog, we will explore the necessity of guard rail in warehouses, the various types available, the accessories we provide, and our commitment to keeping these products in stock for immediate needs.
Why Guard Rail is Needed in Facilities: Guard rail serves as a physical barrier, preventing accidents and protecting both personnel and equipment in busy settings. These rails and posts delineate walkways, secure equipment, and protect vulnerable areas like loading docks, building columns, and storage systems. By installing guard rail, warehouses can ensure compliance with safety regulations and ultimately create a safer work environment.
Types of Guard Rail:
- Bolted vs. Lift-Out:
- Bolted: Durable and robust, ideal for permanent protection.
- Lift-Out: Flexible and ideal for areas that have traffic pass through
- Single High vs. Double High
- Single High: One rail high, ideal for protecting against low height equipment
- Double High: Two rails high, ideal for protecting against conventional lifts
Accessories and Customization: Our range of accessories ensures that our guard rail meets the specific needs of your warehouse. This includes:
- Safety Gates: To provide controlled access points.
- Lift-Out Pockets: For seamless conversion of bolted guard rail to lift-out guard rail.
