Rhino-Stop Elite

The Rhino-Stop® Elite guardrail is engineered to endure the toughest impacts, making it an exceptionally robust carpark barrier system. Designed to absorb up to 40 kN of impact load, it combines architectural elegance with superior durability to provide top-tier SUV impact protection and more.

How Rhino-Stop® Elite Works

  • Design Innovation: The guardrail posts feature a unique base plate with long cuts forming three fingers connected by a common stem. This design allows for upright mounting and separation from the anchors.
  • Patented Base Plate: The system includes a patented yielding base plate that absorbs kinetic energy from impacts, minimizing peak loads on post anchors and reducing potential concrete damage.
  • Impact Absorption: On impact, a plastic hinge forms at the base of the post, causing it to rotate backward. This mechanism transfers impact loads to adjacent posts, enhancing overall protection.

Features and Benefits

  • High Impact Resistance: Designed to protect against high-speed impacts, Rhino-Stop® Elite is ideal for carparks exposed to heavy vehicles.
  • Modular Design: The barrier is modular, free-standing, and meets Australian Building Code standards with standard post spacing of 2.3m and a height of 1100mm, with an optional 1300mm sight rail.
  • Easy Assembly: Quick to assemble with only 2 anchor bolts per post (minimum embedment depth 100mm) and minimal bolt forces.
  • Durable Construction: The patented base plate design allows for effective impact energy absorption, preserving the concrete substrate and system durability.
  • Customizable and Aesthetic: Available with hot-dip galvanizing and optional powder coating, and customizable for non-standard applications.

Rhino-Stop® Elite is rigorously tested to comply with AS/NZS 2890.1 and AS/NZS 1170.1, and meets anti-climb requirements specified in the Australian Building Code, ensuring top-level protection and quality.
