Road Guard Rails for Sale: Enhancing Road Safety and Compliance for Construction Projects

Many companies advertise road guard rails for sale, but it must be borne in mind that many rules, regulations, and compliances need to be adhered to for them to be deemed safe for use on public roads. Road guard rails (also known as “W-Beam” guard rails because of their unique “W” shape), when viewed transversely, can protect assets and pedestrians from moving vehicles in and around industrial or commercial complexes and car parks.

Inversely, they are just as effective on public roads on both straight and curved sections. Regardless of speed restrictions, W-Beam guard rails may be used to separate opposing traffic flows, protect pedestrians at robots and busy intersections, or protect errant drivers from dangerous obstacles on the side of the road like bridges, ditches, and flood drains. They may also be found along curves and stretches of road where the motorist needs to be protected from more severe hazards beyond the verge like non-transversal slopes and steep ascends or descends, hills, and valleys.

Our professionally qualified engineers at Armco Superlite know that to protect drivers and members of the public, W-Beam guard rails need to meet specific standards to absorb and deflect the tremendous kinetic energy involved in an impact collision. The wooden struts need to disengage and allow movement of the steel barrier. This forms a side or oblique impact net, catching the vehicle and slowing it down. That is why, when we advertise road guard rails for sale, you can be assured that it meets every legal compliance applicable to national and international road safety regulations.
