Kwik-Guard® 240kN Class 6 Guardrail: Heavy-Duty, 1300mm Protection System with Integrated Handrail & Mesh for Car Parks, Ramps & Industrial Facilities

Engineered for high-traffic environments, the Kwik-Guard Class 6 system offers an independently crash-tested solution that exceeds AS/NZS 1170.1. This 1300mm single W-beam barrier withstands impact forces exceeding 240kN, safeguarding car parks and warehouses. Featuring an integrated handrail and mesh, it provides dual-action protection for vehicles and pedestrians. Designed for 200mm slabs, the base-plated top-mount system utilises secure chemset fixings for durable, compliant structural performance.

Dual-Action Protection: Integrated Mesh & Handrail Safety for Active Roadside Interfaces & Heavy-Vehicle Zones

Designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern infrastructure, the Class 6 system provides an all-in-one safety solution. Independently crash-tested to surpass AS/NZS 1170.1, this robust single W-beam barrier is engineered to withstand impact forces exceeding 240kN. 

Standing at a system height of 1300mm, it features an integrated handrail and mesh, providing a dual-action solution that shields pedestrians while containing vehicle over-travel in busy car parks, loading docks, and ramps.

Optimised for streamlined installation on concrete slabs with a minimum thickness of 200mm, the base-plated top-mount configuration utilises 150mm deep chemset fixings to ensure long-term structural integrity. 

Whether you are securing a multi-level facility or a high-volume warehouse, Kwik-Guard delivers the durability and compliance needed for modern Australian infrastructure.

Features

Robust Engineering. Proven, Crash-Tested Safety.

Dual-Action Safety 

The 1300mm high Class 6 system combines heavy-duty vehicle containment with integrated pedestrian fencing. The all-in-one configuration prevents unauthorised access and falls while shielding foot traffic from moving machinery and vehicles.

Energy-Absorbing Design to Minimise Floor Damage 

Unlike rigid barriers that can shatter concrete upon impact, Kwik-Guard’s Class 6 system is engineered to absorb and dissipate energy. This controlled deformation helps preserve the integrity of your concrete slab, significantly reducing the cost and complexity of structural repairs after a vehicle strike.

Modular Repair Efficiency for Minimum Downtime 

In the event of a significant collision, the modular design allows for the replacement of individual W-beam sections or posts rather than the entire run. This “bolt-in” logic ensures your facility remains protected and operational with minimal labour costs and zero on-site welding required.

Clear Visual Delineation 

The 1300mm system height and robust W-beam profile act as a powerful visual deterrent, clearly marking pedestrian walkways and “no-go” vehicle zones. This heightened visibility helps prevent accidents before they happen, improving overall traffic flow and site safety culture.

DESIGN: Advanced Load-Bearing Configuration for Pedestrian & Critical Infrastructure Protection

1300mm Profile for Multi-Layered Security

The 1300mm design height is meticulously calculated to provide a formidable physical barrier for vehicles while maintaining an ergonomic handrail height for pedestrians. This dual-purpose verticality ensures that high-traffic zones remain safe and accessible without the need for secondary fencing systems.

By incorporating high-strength mesh and a top-mounted handrail directly into the W-beam framework, the design eliminates dangerous gaps. This integrated approach prevents pedestrians from crossing into vehicle paths and stops debris from falling through the barrier in multi-level facilities.

The core of the design is a heavy-duty W-beam profile engineered to flex slightly under extreme force. By absorbing and redistributing impact energy exceeding 240kN, the design protects the vehicle occupants while simultaneously reducing the stress transferred to the concrete slab.

Its top-mount design is specifically engineered for modern thin-slab construction, requiring only 200mm of concrete depth. By using 22mm drilled fixings with a 150mm embedment, the design ensures massive structural hold without compromising the reinforcement or integrity of the underlying floor.

The compact base-plate design allows for installation closer to the slab edge than traditional systems. This space-efficient footprint is ideal for narrow ramps and congested warehouses, allowing project managers to maximise usable floor space without sacrificing AS/NZS 1170.1 compliance.

APPLICATIONS: Structurally Reinforced to Protect & Maintain Integrity in High-Impact Zones

Independently crash-tested to surpass the rigorous demands of AS/NZS 1170.1, this 240kN-rated barrier provides an impenetrable line of defence for both infrastructure and personnel. By combining a 1300mm system height with integrated pedestrian mesh and heavy-duty W-beam profiles, it ensures long-term structural resilience across the most demanding Australian commercial and industrial sectors.

High-Velocity Carpark Ramps (>20 m)

Engineered to arrest out-of-control vehicles on steep gradients, it comfortably exceeds the 240kN impact force required for high-velocity transit zones and transition ramps.

Basement Carparks

The space-efficient top-mount design is optimised for 200mm slabs, providing compliant vehicle containment and pedestrian separation without compromising tight underground layouts.

Commercial & Industrial Carparks

Acts as a durable, AS/NZS 1170.1-certified barrier that shields infrastructure from high-volume traffic while managing pedestrian flow via an integrated anti-climb mesh design.

Loading Docks

Heavy-duty W-beam protection withstands the constant rigours of logistical activity, safeguarding staff and equipment near active vehicle bays and high-frequency reversing zones.

Structural Protection Zones (Truck Traffic)

High-tensile steel barriers designed to deflect heavy-vehicle impacts, they shield vital structural columns, expensive plant equipment, and essential utility hubs from accidental damage.

Elevated Slabs & Building

Secure installation via 150mm chemset embedment prevents vehicle over-travel on elevated levels, protecting critical building façades and preventing catastrophic falls.
