BIKER-SHIELD™

Biker Shield (1)

Safe Direction’s BIKER-SHIELD™ is a road barrier system designed to reduce the impact severity for motorcycle riders on Australian roads, in the event of a collision with a roadside w-beam guardrail barrier.

BIKER-SHIELD™ can be installed as part of a new RAMSHIELD® guardrail barrier system or retrofitted to an existing traffic barrier installation.

These crash barrier safety systems rely on the combination of spring mounting brackets and lightweight corrugated beams, to provide safe rider containment and redirection.

How BIKER-SHIELD™ Works

BIKER-SHIELD™ is strategically positioned below a w-beam guardrail panel to prevent a dismounted motorcyclist from making contact with the supporting posts of the guardrail barrier.

The spring brackets of BIKER-SHIELD™ attach directly to the w-beam guardrail mid-span between posts and absorb the impact energy of the sliding rider.

BIKER-SHIELD’s™ mounting bracket position is of key importance in the systemic design of this guardrail, as vertical alignment with the face of the w-beam guardrail reduces the potential for rider snagging.

Features and Benefits

  • BIKER-SHIELD™ is versatile in its design application and can either be installed to an existing RAMSHIELD® guardrail barrier system or to a new W-Beam guardrail system.
  • The flexible mounting bracket of BIKER-SHIELD™ which connects directly to the RAMSHIELD® or W-Beam guardrail panel provides forgiving impact to motorcyclists in collision situations.
  • The face-to-face alignment between the BIKER-SHIELD™ and RAMSHIELD® or W-Beam guardrail products significantly reduces the potential for rider pocketing, promoting rider safety and containment.
