Hub in Erskine Park
When logistics giant DHL Supply Chain set out to build a new state-of-the-art warehouse in Erskine Park, NSW, safety and efficiency were top priorities. Designed by SBA Architects and delivered by FDC Building, the facility represents the next generation of high-volume freight handling—and it needed a barrier system tough enough to match.
That’s where Guard-R Group stepped in, supplying our Kwik-Guard® Double Height Class 1 Crash Tested Guardrail to provide critical protection across the truck loading zones, driveways, and loading dock areas.
Safety Where It Matters Most
Heavy vehicle traffic, reversing trucks, and constant loading activity make loading docks and driveways some of the highest-risk zones in any distribution centre. For DHL, ensuring these areas were protected with crash-tested infrastructure was essential—not just for compliance, but for the long-term safety of their people and operations.
Working with Safehub Wholesale, the guardrail installation was completed with precision and speed, integrating seamlessly into the wider construction program managed by FDC Building.
Why Kwik-Guard® Was the Right Fit
Kwik-Guard® isn’t your average warehouse barrier. It’s an independently crash tested, Class 1 rated guardrail system designed for high-impact environments like warehouses, logistics hubs, and industrial loading zones.
Key benefits of Kwik-Guard® on this project:
- Crash tested to handle real-world impacts from trucks and forklifts
- Double-height protection suited to tall vehicle clearance zones
- Compliant with AS/NZS safety standards
- Fast, modular installation for minimal disruption on-site
A Seamless Collaboration
With architecturally-led planning by SBA and experienced delivery from FDC Building, the project demanded a high level of coordination across all trades. Guard-R Group worked closely with Safehub Wholesale to ensure guardrail placement aligned with truck movement paths, pedestrian zones, and operational flow.
Our in-house team provided product support and scheduling to ensure materials were delivered exactly when needed—keeping the project on track.
The Result?
A fully protected, high-functioning warehouse facility that meets the stringent safety demands of one of the world’s largest logistics operators. With Kwik-Guard® now in place, DHL can operate confidently knowing their key movement areas are shielded by crash-tested, Australian-standard compliant barriers.
Looking Ahead
As demand for safer, more efficient logistics hubs grows across Australia, so does the need for engineered safety solutions that are tested, certified, and built to last. Guard-R Group is proud to be part of delivering safer workplaces—one project at a time.
