Guard Rail

Protection for Your Safety

Protective guard rail systems are painted safety yellow and provide a highly visible physical barrier that guards expensive equipment, shields key work areas, and helps define traffic patterns in your plant or facility.

Customers report that our guard rail is the best available and TCE has the data to back that up. Tests confirm that properly installed guard rail will absorb severe impacts from forklifts or other equipment...up to a 13,000 lb. load impact at 4 mph, without failure.

Guard Rail systems can be ordered in single, double or triple rail design. Column centers are identical for Standard and Lift-Out Guard Rails. All guard rail components include necessary hardware and anchors.

Guard Rail Benefits:

  • Reduces downtime for equipment and manpower
  • Cuts workers' compensation claims
  • Protects sensitive computer stations and CNC machinery
  • Shields personnel in adjacent offices and break rooms from wall impacts
  • Available in single, double, and triple rail configurations
  • Direct pedestrian traffic flow

In addition to the protective features of Standard Guard Rails, Lift-Out Guard Rails allow for the easy removal of rail sections for convenient access to machinery or equipment for servicing, cleaning or repairing. Lift-Out Guard Rails slip into a specially designed "saddle", which is bolted to a post to retain structural integrity.
