Rigid Posts

Rigid posts are the latest innovation in modular warehouse barrier systems providing superior design, rapid installation and promoting driver confidence.

Safe Direction’s W-beam guardrail, supported by rigid posts, is ideal for providing protection for plant, equipment and footpath areas.

Our rigid posts are available in three standard styles and sizes – the 700mm U-Post, 750mm C-Post and 1000mm C-Post.

The W-beam guardrail used alongside our rigid posts can also be manufactured in various standard lengths (1000mm, 2000mm, 2500mm 3000mm, 4000mm and 5000mm) to suit a broad range of site applications, with handrail options also available.

Features and Benefits

Effectively safeguards people, vehicles and property from low-energy impacts.
Simple modular warehouse barrier design requiring four anchor fixings per post, with variable spacing between posts, depending upon the hole distance provided by the W-beam guardrail.
Available in an assortment of styles and dimensions:
- 700mm U-Post welded to a 300x300x10mm base plate (for mounting of single height w-beam guardrail)
- 750mm C-post welded to a 200x280x20mm base plate (for mounting of single height w-beam guardrail)
- 1000mm C-Post welded to a 200x280x20mm base plate (for mounting of double height w-beam guardrail)
Can be configured with a balustrade and customised for single rail or double rail requirements.
Rigid posts and W-beam guardrail are hot dip galvanised for reinforced stability with optional powder-coating available for enhanced visibility.

How Do Rigid Posts Work?

This modular impact barrier system typically consists of a W-beam guardrail supported by a rigid post system, which is designed to redirect vehicles and pedestrians away from potential safety hazards located near or behind the barrier.

In the event of a collision, the impact energy is dissipated through the vehicle itself upon the course of redirection.

The strength of a rigid post system is typically limited to the pull-out strength provided by the anchors, making it suitable for use in low-impact risk areas such as warehouses.
