Kwik-Guard® Single Height Top Mount Guardrail Class 1

Engineered for Australian car parks, warehouses and commercial developments, the Kwik-Guard® Class 1 Guardrail is an independently crash-tested 30kN vehicle barrier designed to protect pedestrians, buildings and infrastructure.

Manufactured from heavy-duty galvanised steel, this top mount guardrail system complies with AS/NZS 1170.1 Clause 3.8 and is ideal for multi-storey car parks, shopping centres, industrial facilities and warehouse environments.

With fast Australia-wide delivery, modular components and simple installation, Kwik-Guard® provides architects, engineers, builders and asset owners with a proven guardrail solution that delivers safety, compliance and long-term durability.

Crash Testing &
Certification

The Kwik-Guard® Class 1 Single Height Guardrail has been independently crash tested to a 30kN impact rating and engineered to comply with AS/NZS 1170.1 Clause 3.8. Designed specifically for commercial car parks, warehouses and industrial facilities, it delivers reliable vehicle containment where pedestrian and asset protection is critical.

Independent testing confirmed the system’s structural integrity, impact resistance and energy-absorbing post design, which helps dissipate collision forces while reducing damage to the supporting concrete slab. Combined with Kwik-Guard’s innovative single-bolt anchor system, the barrier provides a fast-to-install, high-performance solution that minimises installation time and simplifies future maintenance.

Specified by architects, engineers and builders across Australia, the Kwik-Guard® Class 1 Guardrail provides confidence that your project is backed by independently verified performance, and proven compliance.
