Kwik-Guard® Class 2 Backward Handrail Guardrail: AS/NZS-Compliant Pedestrian & Vehicle Barriers

The Kwik-Guard® Class 2 guardrail system sets the benchmark for pedestrian and vehicle safety, rigorously tested to withstand 30 kN impact loads in full compliance with AS/NZS 1170.1. Its backward-facing handrail, meeting AS/NZ 2890.1 standards for off-street car parking, ensures safe, controlled movement in high-traffic environments. Built from durable, low-maintenance materials, Kwik-Guard® delivers unmatched performance and reliability across carparks, pathways, and warehouses.

Enhanced Pedestrian Safety.
Stronger Structural Integrity.

The Kwik-Guard® Class 2 Single Height Guardrail with Backward Handrail is optimised to deliver reliable, crash-tested protection in low to medium traffic areas. Compliant with AS/NZS 1170.1:2002 for structural integrity and AS/NZ 2890.1 for pedestrian guidance, it ensures safety without compromising on design or functionality.

Proven through rigorous crash testing, the guardrail absorbs impact energy while maintaining stability, making it a trusted choice for carparks, elevated walkways, and public spaces. With durable, low-maintenance components and flexible installation options, it’s a solution that saves time and reduces long-term costs.

Features

Engineered for Safety, Installed with Ease

Crash-Tested Protection
Meets the 30 kN impact load requirement under AS/NZS 1170.1:2002, ensuring reliable pedestrian and vehicle safety even in high-traffic areas.

Durable & Low Maintenance
Constructed from hot-dip galvanised steel (or powder-coated finish), it offers long-term corrosion resistance. Once installed, it requires minimal upkeep.

Enhanced Safety with Backward-Facing Handrail
Complies with AS/NZ 2890.1 guidelines for off-street car parking and elevated walkways, providing clear pedestrian guidance and enhanced safety.

Easy Installation & Flexible Layouts
Lightweight yet strong components simplify installation. Stocked rails, posts, terminals, and anchors allow adaptable configurations for a variety of carparks, pathways, and commercial projects.

DESIGN: Purpose-Built for Controlled, Safer Pedestrian Flow

Enhanced Safety with Backward Handrail

The integrated backward-facing handrail improves pedestrian guidance and supports compliance in tight or high-traffic spaces. This configuration provides clearer footpath delineation and helps maintain controlled movement across carparks and service corridors.

Each component is designed to comply with AS/NZS 1170:1 structural design requirements and relevant Class 2 impact performance expectations. This ensures every installation delivers consistent resilience and long-term reliability.

Our Class 2 1000mm guardrails feature a minimalist profile engineered to blend seamlessly into contemporary environments ranging from shopping centres and service areas to multi-level car parks. The streamlined design improves visibility while maintaining structural integrity.

With a broad range of stocked components and modular design flexibility, the system adapts to varied site layouts. Easily integrate guardrails in locations such as shopping centre carparks, EV charging bays, plant rooms, and service zones.

APPLICATIONS: Purpose-Built for High-Traffic, High-Risk Environments

Kwik-Guard® Class 2 is purpose-built for environments where pedestrian movement intersects with vehicle traffic. Ideal for multi-level carparks, shopping centre service lanes, loading docks, and warehouse walkways, it provides dependable separation that meets AS/NZS 1170.1 (30 kN impact) and AS/NZ 2890.1 requirements. The backward-facing handrail improves pedestrian guidance and safety in tight corridors, ramps, and elevated pathways.
