Kwik-Guard® Double Height Class 5 Guardrail: 40kN Impact-Rated Barrier with Integrated 1300mm Pedestrian Safety

Engineered for high-risk zones, the Kwik-Guard Double Height Class 5 system delivers superior dual-layer protection. Independently crash-tested to exceed AS1170 standards, it withstands 40kN impacts, securing loading docks and heavy-vehicle carparks. The 1300mm system features a 32NB galvanized handrail and anti-climb mesh for reliable fall prevention. Designed for efficiency, the top-mount base plates install quickly on 200mm slabs, ensuring robust safety with maximum site visibility.

Anti-Climb, Anti-Impact: S1170-Compliant Protection for High-Risk Zones

The Kwik-Guard Double Height Class 5 system is the benchmark for high-risk environments like loading docks, warehouses, and heavy-vehicle carparks. 

While traditional barriers often force a compromise between vehicle security and pedestrian safety, this system provides both. Independently crash-tested to withstand 40kN impacts, it meets AS1170 Clause 3.8 standards, ensuring it can stop a vehicle while its 1300mm height and integrated anti-climb mesh prevent accidental falls.

For project managers and contractors, the top-mount design is a major advantage. It installs quickly onto a minimum 200mm slab using high-performance TB20160G Thru-Bolts, saving time without sacrificing structural integrity. The galvanized 32NB pipe construction ensures long-term durability in tough Australian conditions, while the increased height significantly improves site visibility for drivers and staff alike.

Features

Built to Withstand, Designed to Protect

Certified High-Impact Resistance

Independently crash-tested to withstand 40kN impacts, this system is engineered for the toughest environments. It provides a robust physical shield for loading docks and warehouses, ensuring heavy vehicles are safely contained upon contact

Dual-Layer Pedestrian Protection

Standing at a system height of 1300mm, this barrier features integrated anti-climb galvanized mesh. This combination prevents accidental falls from elevated slabs while discouraging unsafe pedestrian crossing in high-traffic vehicle zones.

Industrial-Grade Durability

Built to survive the harsh Australian climate, the system utilises Galvanized 32NB Pipe for the handrail and heavy-duty mesh. This ensures long-term corrosion resistance and structural integrity, even in exposed coastal or industrial environments.

Rapid Top-Mount Installation

Designed for efficiency, the base-plated top-mount design allows for quick installation on a minimum 200mm slab. Utilising TB20160G Thru-Bolt PRO anchors, contractors can quickly secure the system, minimising site downtime and labour costs.

DESIGN: Collision-Ready Architecture Built to Withstand 40kN

Integrated Dual-Tier Architecture

The Kwik-Guard design seamlessly merges a high-impact vehicle barrier with a 1300mm pedestrian handrail. The unified structure eliminates the need for separate fencing systems, providing a clean, cohesive look for loading docks and elevated car parks.

Engineered for sites where floor space is at a premium, the base-plated top-mount design secures directly to the slab surface. This low-profile footprint allows for maximum usable area on truck hardstands while maintaining a minimum 200mm slab requirement.

Utilizing 32NB Galvanized Pipe, the system is designed for modularity and extreme environmental resilience. This heavy-duty finish ensures the barrier maintains its structural integrity and aesthetic professional finish in high-moisture or industrial roadside environments.

The strategic 1m guardrail height is a deliberate design choice to optimise line-of-sight for operators. By reducing “blind spots” in warehouses and carparks, the design ensures that drivers can see both the barrier and any pedestrians behind the anti-climb mesh.

The system is designed to withstand 40kN impact forces by distributing energy through its specialised anchoring system. Using TB20160G Thru-Bolt PRO anchors, the design ensures the force of a collision is safely absorbed by the concrete substrate.

APPLICATIONS: Proven, Certified Protection for Australia’s Most Demanding Sites

The Kwik-Guard Class 5 system is engineered for high-risk zones where heavy vehicles and pedestrians intersect. Independently crash-tested to withstand 40kN impacts, it exceeds AS1170 standards while its 1300mm height prevents accidental falls. With a 1m guardrail design, it maximises operator visibility, making it the essential choice for securing loading docks, multi-story carparks, and busy industrial hardstands.

Loading Docks

Stops heavy vehicle overruns with a 40kN impact-rated barrier designed to protect dock levelers and staff. The 1300mm anti-climb mesh ensures safe pedestrian thoroughfares in high-frequency loading zones.

Heavy-Vehicle Carparks

The 1m guardrail height significantly improves line-of-sight for truck drivers, reducing low-speed collisions. Galvanized 32NB steel construction provides long-term durability against the constant wear of heavy-industrial traffic.

Warehouses

Creates a permanent safety envelope around internal picking zones and forklift lanes with AS1170-compliant barriers. Its top-mount design allows for rapid installation on 200mm slabs without disrupting facility operations.

Shopping Centre Carparks

Balances public safety and asset protection in high-traffic retail zones with anti-climb mesh and crash-tested steel. The galvanized finish integrates seamlessly into modern commercial aesthetics.

Commuter Car Parks

Designed to manage high-volume peak traffic, this robust barrier simultaneously guides pedestrians and contains vehicle mishaps. The 1300mm system height exceeds standard safety requirements, providing superior protection for busy public transport infrastructure.

Multi-Story Carparks

Secures elevated slabs with fall protection and vehicle containment in one unified system. The TB20160G Thru-Bolt anchoring ensures maximum pull-out resistance during high-impact structural events.
