Kwik-Guard® 240kN Single Height Class 1 Guardrail: Crash-Tested, AS1170-Compliant Barriers for Car Parks, Warehouses & High-Traffic Zones

Engineered for high-traffic environments, Kwik-Guard’s 240kN Guardrail delivers superior asset and pedestrian protection. This Class 1 system is independently crash-tested to surpass AS/NZS 1170.1 requirements, handling forces exceeding 240kN with minimal deflection. Designed for 200mm slabs, the top-mount base plate uses 150mm Chemset fixings for rapid, secure installation. It delivers a low-profile, high-strength solution, making it ideal for multi-level carparks, steep ramps, and heavy-duty industrial warehouses.

Independently Crash-Tested 240kN Impact Protection for Carparks, Ramps & Heavy-Duty Industrial Warehouses

Kwik-Guard ‘s 240kN Single Height Guardrail is more than a barrier; it is a precision-engineered safety system designed to exceed AS/NZS 1170.1 impact standards. 

Independently crash-tested to withstand forces over 240kN, this Class 1 guardrail provides robust containment for vehicles and pedestrians in high-velocity zones like multi-level carpark ramps and busy warehouse bays. 

Despite its heavy-duty performance, the top-mount, base-plated design maintains a clean, low-profile aesthetic. Designed for a minimum 200mm slab, it utilizes 150mm Chemset fixings for a secure, deep-embedment anchor that minimises deflection during impact. 

Whether you are retrofitting an existing facility or managing a new tier-one build, Kwik-Guard® ensures your project remains compliant, durable, and safe.

Features

AS-Compliant Structural Protection for High-Risk Traffic Zones

Superior 240kN Impact Resistance 

Built to withstand forces exceeding 240kN, this Class 1 barrier offers maximum containment with minimal deflection. It is specifically engineered to stop vehicle momentum on steep ramps and within multi-level carparks, protecting the building’s structural integrity.

Independently Certified Protection 

Every Kwik-Guard system is independently crash-tested to surpass AS/NZS 1170.1 standards. This ensures your project meets rigorous safety compliance while providing a reliable shield for both pedestrians and vehicles in high-risk zones.

Optimised for Standard Concrete Slabs 

Designed for versatility, the system requires a minimum slab thickness of 200mm. By utilising a 150mm fixing embedment depth, the guardrail achieves a rock-solid anchor without compromising the reinforcement of standard commercial floor plates.

Rapid Top-Mount Installation 

The base-plated design is engineered for efficiency on-site. Using a 22mm drill diameter and high-strength Chemset fixings, contractors can achieve a precise, top-mount installation that significantly reduces labour time compared to traditional cast-in systems.

DESIGN: Crash-Tested, Proven, and Built for Australian Conditions

Low-Profile Architectural Finish

Standing at a system height of 640mm, the Kwik-Guard offers a sleek, unobtrusive silhouette. This low-profile design ensures clear sightlines for drivers in multi-level carparks and maintains an open, professional aesthetic without compromising on Class 1 safety.

With a fixing embedment depth of 150mm and a total drill depth of 155mm, the design prioritises structural leverage. This ensures that the massive 240kN impact force is distributed effectively through the slab, significantly reducing deflection during a vehicle strike.

Engineered specifically for modern commercial builds, this system is designed for a minimum slab thickness of 200mm. This allows consulting engineers to specify a high-impact 240kN barrier that integrates seamlessly with standard structural floor plates.

The base-plated, top-mount design is a triumph of spatial efficiency. By utilizing a 22mm drill diameter for Chemset fixings, the system can be installed close to perimeter edges and ramps, maximizing usable floor space in tight warehouse or parking environments.

From multi-level carparks and ramps to large commercial projects, the Kwik-Guard design is versatile enough for any commercial application. Its robust, modular nature allows it to be configured for long straight runs or complex ramp geometries with ease.

APPLICATIONS: Engineering-Grade Protection for Public & Commercial Infrastructure

The Kwik-Guard 240kN system is purpose-built for versatility for high-traffic commercial and public environments. Independently crash-tested to surpass AS/NZS 1170.1 standards, this Class 1 barrier provides a low-profile, high-strength solution for spaces where pedestrian and vehicle safety is paramount. Its top-mount design and 150mm Chemset fixing depth ensure rapid, secure installation on standard 200mm concrete slabs.

High-Velocity Carpark Ramps (>20 m)

Engineered to arrest out-of-control vehicles on steep descents, this 240kN-rated system provides a robust physical barrier that exceeds the impact requirements of AS/NZS 1170.1

Basement Carparks

The base-plated top-mount design allows for secure installation in low-headroom environments, protecting critical concrete columns and MEP services from accidental vehicle strikes.

Commercial & Industrial Carparks

Deliver a professional, high-visibility safety solution that manages traffic flow while providing Class 1 rated protection for both pedestrians and high-value assets.

Loading Docks

Designed to survive the rigours of daily logistics, these rails safeguard docking bays against heavy-impact damage from reversing delivery vehicles and heavy machinery.

Heavy Vehicle Areas

With a massive 240kN impact capacity, Kwik-Guard’s guardrail system acts as a vital line of defence in zones where trucks and forklifts operate in close proximity to personnel.

Elevated Slabs & Building

Provides essential edge protection on multi-level structures, ensuring vehicle containment and preventing catastrophic falls through compliance with strict Australian safety standards.
