Column Guards: Essential Protection for Car Parks and Warehouses
In car parks and warehouses, supporting columns are vulnerable to accidental vehicle damage. Since isolating pipework and columns from traffic isn’t always feasible, protective car park barrier systems like column guards are crucial.
Safe Direction offers W-beam guardrails for column guard installation, available in single or double-height barrier points. Our column guards can be configured as full-circle or semi-circle barriers with a 500mm radius if needed. These guards leverage the strength and energy-absorbing qualities of the W-beam guardrail system, customizable to meet site-specific needs.
Features and Benefits:
- Robust Construction: Durable protection reduces repair costs.
- Versatile Applications: Suitable for columns, posts, beams, and other vertical surfaces.
- Size Options: Minimum radius of 500mm; available in full-circle or semi-circle units.
- Height Configurations: Single or double rail heights with customizable curved rails.
- Finish Options: Hot-dip galvanized with optional powder-coated rails in bright colors for enhanced visibility.
How Column Guards Work: Column guards serve as protective buffers, shielding columns from impacts. They consist of posts with base plates and W-beam guardrails wrapped around the column. Upon collision, the guard absorbs impact energy, preserving the column’s structural integrity and mitigating damage to the car park barrier system.
