Buyer's guide

Safety barriers and guardrail: what you need to know

Safety barriers keep vehicles away from people, buildings, racking and drops. W-beam guardrail is the common choice for roads and car parks. Bollards, wheel stops and handrails protect smaller areas.

Each system needs room to flex when hit, the right end treatment and footings that suit the ground.

Pros

  • Protects people, buildings and equipment from vehicle impact
  • W-beam guardrail is proven, cost-effective and easy to repair
  • Clear visual separation between vehicles and pedestrians
  • Damaged sections can be replaced without redoing the run

Cons

  • Needs space behind the barrier to flex when hit
  • End treatments add cost and are required on roads
  • Not designed for deliberate vehicle attacks (see anti-ram barriers)
  • Needs inspection and repair after impacts

A good fit for your site if

  • Vehicles move near people, buildings or edges
  • You have warehouse, loading dock or car park traffic
  • A previous barrier was hit and needs repair

More questions

Guardrail or bollards?

Guardrail protects a long run, such as a road edge or loading lane. Bollards protect a point, such as a doorway, column or meter box, and let people walk between them.
