Kwik-Guard 240kN Single Height Top Mount Guardrail - Class 5

Product

Kwik-Guard® 240kN Class 5 Guardrail: 1300mm, AS-Compliant Vehicle Restraint Barriers with Integrated Pedestrian Safety

Purpose-built for high-risk traffic zones, the Class 5 system delivers independently crash-tested protection that surpasses AS/NZS 1170.1. Strong enough to withstand forces exceeding 240kN, it features a single W-beam and handrail at a height of 1300mm. Ideal for car parks and loading zones, it installs securely onto 200mm concrete slabs using a 150mm Chemset embedment. This ensures a clean, practical profile that meets strict Australian standards while protecting pedestrians and property from high-impact vehicle strikes in any environment.

Durable, Independently Crash-Tested Protection for High-Risk Public Environments & Busy Traffic Zones

The Kwik-Guard Class 5 system is ideal for high-risk zones where safety cannot be compromised. Independently crash-tested to surpass AS/NZS 1170.1, this robust barrier withstands impact forces exceeding 240kN, providing reliable vehicle restraint in car parks, warehouses, and loading docks. 

At 1300mm high, the single W-beam configuration features an integrated handrail, effectively separating heavy vehicle traffic from pedestrian walkways in a single, streamlined installation. 

Designed for top-mount application on concrete slabs with a minimum 200mm thickness, the system utilises 150mm Chemset fixings to ensure permanent structural integrity. 

Whether protecting structural columns or guiding foot traffic, it delivers compliant, durable protection that stands up to the toughest industrial demands.

Features

Superior Vehicle Restraint & Pedestrian Guidance

Superior 240kN Impact Resistance 

Engineered to withstand extreme forces exceeding 240kN, the Class 5 guardrail acts as a formidable shield against vehicle strikes. This heavy-duty W-beam construction is specifically designed to protect critical infrastructure, expensive machinery, and high-value property from significant damage

High-Force Energy Absorption 

The single W-beam profile is engineered to deform slightly upon impact, absorbing kinetic energy and reducing the risk of vehicle “bounce-back.” This critical safety feature protects both the driver and nearby pedestrians, especially in confined car park environments.

Durable, Low-Maintenance Engineering 

Built to thrive in demanding commercial and industrial environments, the Class 5 system is manufactured for long-term durability. Its robust materials and secure fixings mean less frequent repairs and lower lifecycle costs, even in high-use areas like airport terminals and logistics hubs.

Streamlined Multi-Functional Design 

By combining a crash-tested guardrail with a 1300mm-high integrated handrail, you eliminate the need for separate barrier systems. This reduces site clutter, lowers total material costs, and simplifies the architectural footprint in narrow loading docks or pedestrian zones.

DESIGN: Built with Precision. Backed by Proven, Crash-Tested Strength.

High-Profile 1300mm Configuration

The system is designed with a 1300mm total height to provide maximum visibility and physical security. This ensures that the integrated handrail is at the optimal level for pedestrian stability while the W-beam remains positioned to intercept vehicle bumpers effectively in car parks and warehouses.

Its clever design eliminates site clutter by merging a heavy-duty W-beam guardrail with a pedestrian handrail into a single, streamlined unit. This clever spatial design is ideal for narrow loading docks and walkways where floor space is at a premium, but dual-purpose protection is non-negotiable.

Tested to withstand impact forces exceeding 240kN, the structural design is balanced to absorb and redistribute energy through the Chemset anchorage. This prevents the barrier from shearing off under pressure, ensuring the 200mm concrete slab remains intact while the vehicle is safely contained.

Every design element is calibrated for absolute precision, requiring a 22mm drill diameter and a 155mm drill depth. This ensures a “zero-play” fit for the Chemset anchors, providing the rigid structural response necessary to surpass the rigorous AS/NZS 1170.1 crash-test standards.

The design maintains specific clearance between the W-beam and the mounting posts to allow for controlled deformation. This engineering choice helps the system absorb the kinetic energy of a vehicle strike, protecting the underlying concrete infrastructure from the full brunt of the 240kN impact.

APPLICATIONS: Optimized to Deliver Uncompromising Protection Under Demanding Conditions

From high-velocity ramps to industrial loading docks, the Kwik-Guard Class 5 is built for the toughest environments. It surpasses AS/NZS 1170.1 standards, providing a 240kN-rated shield that protects both vehicles and pedestrians. Its base-plated design is optimised for rapid, secure installation on 200mm concrete slabs, making it the definitive choice for facilities requiring durable, crash-tested vehicle and foot-traffic separation.

High-Velocity Carpark Ramps (>20 m)

Exceeding AS/NZS 1170.1, it provides the 240kN force resistance required to contain vehicles on steep, high-momentum ramps.

Basement Carparks

The 1300mm-high profile with integrated handrails ensures safe pedestrian egress and vehicle containment in confined subterranean levels

Commercial & Industrial Carparks

Delivers a compliant, dual-purpose solution that shields pedestrians from traffic while meeting the 150mm Chemset embedment specs for long-term durability.

Loading Docks

Engineered to withstand heavy impacts, the single W-beam protects dock infrastructure and personnel from low-speed vehicle strikes.

Structural Protection Zones (Truck Traffic)

Provides a 240kN-rated physical shield for building columns and essential services exposed to the high-impact risks of heavy truck movements.

Elevated Slabs & Building

slab thickness, making it the ideal top-mount choice for preventing perimeter breaches on multi-level structures.
