Kwik-Guard® 240kN Single Height Top Mount Guardrail – Class 2

Product

Kwik-Guard® 240kN Class 2 Guardrail: Impact-Rated, High-Velocity Containment with Backward Handrail for Ramps and Heavy Vehicle Zones

Engineered for high-risk zones, the Kwik-Guard Class 2 system provides robust protection where velocity and mass meet. Independently crash-tested to surpass AS/NZS 1170.1 standards, this single-height W-beam barrier withstands impact forces exceeding 240kN. The 1100mm system features an integrated handrail, securing both pedestrians and heavy vehicles on ramps, loading docks, and elevated slabs. With a 150mm Chemset anchor depth, it delivers a high-containment, low-profile solution for modern Australian infrastructure.

From Ramps to Basements: Industrial-Grade Impact Protection for High-Traffic Urban Zones

The Kwik-Guard Class 2 system is more than a barrier; it is a precision-engineered safety anchor for Australia’s most demanding environments. 

Independently crash-tested to surpass AS/NZS 1170.1, this single-height W-beam guardrail is purpose-built to absorb kinetic energy on high-velocity carpark ramps and heavy vehicle loading docks. By exceeding 240kN in impact resistance, it provides a formidable shield for structural columns and building perimeters on elevated slabs.

The 1100mm system height integrates a backward handrail, ensuring seamless pedestrian protection alongside heavy-duty vehicle containment. 

Designed for rapid, secure installation, the base-plated top-mount requires only a 200mm slab thickness and 150mm Chemset embedment to achieve maximum anchorage.

Features

Precision Engineering. Proven Protection.

Engineered to Withstand 240kN Force 

Designed for the extreme physics of high-velocity carpark ramps and heavy vehicle zones, this barrier provides over 240kN of impact containment. It effectively absorbs kinetic energy to stop vehicles in their tracks, protecting both lives and building assets.

Dual-Purpose Pedestrian Safety

The integrated 1100mm system height eliminates the need for secondary fencing with a unified solution. The single W-beam guardrail features an integrated backward handrail, reaching a total height of 1100mm to provide compliant fall protection and clear guidance for foot traffic in busy warehouses.

Advanced Slab Anchorage

Engineered for structural integrity on elevated slabs and building perimeters, the system requires a minimum slab thickness of only 200mm. The base-plated top-mount design ensures a secure, low-profile fit that maximises usable floor space without compromising strength.

Industrial-Grade Durability

From loading docks to basement carparks, the Class 2 system is manufactured to endure heavy-duty use. Its robust construction resists the wear and tear of industrial traffic, providing a long-term, low-maintenance safety solution for high-traffic public infrastructure.

DESIGN: Maximum Safety. Minimal Footprint. Seamless Integration.

Optimised Single W-Beam Configuration

The Kwik-Guard design utilises a sleek, single W-beam profile that maintains a clean aesthetic in modern basement carparks. Despite its low-profile appearance, the geometry is engineered to dissipate massive kinetic energy, surpassing AS/NZS 1170.1 requirements for high-velocity zones.

By incorporating a backward-mounted handrail, the design achieves a total system height of 1100mm. This eliminates the visual clutter of secondary fencing while providing compliant fall protection and pedestrian guidance in mixed-use industrial and commercial environments.

The system’s structural integrity is rooted in its precision anchorage design. Utilising a 22mm drill diameter and a 155mm drill depth, the 150mm Chemset embedment ensures the barrier remains vertical and secure even when subjected to forces exceeding 240kN.

The backward handrail is intelligently offset to the rear of the main W-beam. This design choice ensures that pedestrian hand-holds remain unobstructed and protected from minor vehicle scrapes, maintaining long-term durability in high-traffic warehouses and public zones.

Constructed from high-grade materials and finished for longevity, the Class 2 design thrives in harsh operational conditions. Whether exposed to roadside elements or industrial fumes, the system maintains its structural and aesthetic integrity over a long service life.

APPLICATIONS: Crash-Tested Protection for Ramps, Slabs & Loading Bays

Engineered for high-kinetic energy environments, the Kwik-Guard Class 2 guardrail delivers extreme stopping power. It is specifically designed to exceed 240kN impact forces, making it essential for high-velocity ramps and heavy vehicle zones. The base-plated design requires a 200mm minimum slab thickness, providing a high-containment solution that ensures structural integrity and pedestrian safety across all industrial assets.

High-Velocity Carpark Ramps (>20 m)

Designed to exceed AS/NZS 1170.1 impact requirements, it is purpose-built to arrest high-kinetic energy vehicles on steep descents, . The 240kN rating provides critical containment where speed and momentum pose the greatest risk

Basement Carparks

The low-profile W-beam design maximises spatial clearance in tight enclosures while maintaining Class 2 safety. Its 150mm Chemset anchorage ensures the barrier remains rooted during low-visibility collisions

Commercial & Industrial Carparks

Delivers a unified 1100mm safety boundary that separates busy foot traffic from high-turnover vehicle zones. Built to endure the daily rigours of high-volume public and private parking facilities.

Loading Docks

It has been optimised to withstand the frequent shunting and heavy-duty impacts typical of logistics hubs. Protects staff and inventory with a crash-tested profile that surpasses standard industrial barriers.

Heavy Vehicle Areas

Reinforced to contain larger vehicle masses, it provides structural defense against trucks and delivery vans. The 150mm embedment depth offers the lateral resistance needed for heavy-impact structural zones.

Elevated Slabs & Building

Acts as a high-strength buffer for critical columns and load-bearing walls exposed to heavy truck movements. Diverts 240kN of impact force away from the building’s primary structure to ensure long-term stability.
