Heavy Duty Guardrail Systems (MHE / PIT)

Robust, Versatile Protection for Busy Industrial Environments

Brandsafe’s Heavy Duty Steel Guardrail System (MHE / PIT) is a reliable and high-performance solution designed to provide essential separation between material handling equipment (MHE) such as forklifts and pallet trucks, and pedestrian walkways across busy industrial and commercial environments. Engineered for demanding applications, this system plays a critical role in site safety by clearly defining vehicle and pedestrian zones, reducing the risk of workplace accidents and damage to infrastructure.

This steel barrier system has been purpose-built to withstand the rigours of industrial operations, offering long-lasting protection in environments where heavy machinery is frequently in use. Its solid steel construction and multi-rail configuration form a resilient physical barrier that not only safeguards personnel but also protects assets, infrastructure, and high-value stock from accidental impacts. Whether installed along vehicle routes, around machinery, or at access points, this steel barrier delivers dependable performance and peace of mind in high-risk zones.

Manufactured from high-grade mild steel, our guardrail system delivers both strength and durability. It features robust steel posts, typically spaced at 1925mm centres, and incorporates three horizontal rails – two mid-level and one base rail – to form a solid barrier capable of withstanding the demands of high-traffic areas.

Each system is supplied complete with all required fittings and components, ensuring a straightforward and efficient installation process. This includes safety plus anchors, nylon washers, button head fixings, and foam gaskets to create a secure and clean finish. The inclusion of closed-cell foam gaskets beneath the base rail helps to prevent the accumulation of dirt and debris, minimising corrosion and supporting hygiene during washdown procedures – a key benefit for food distribution and clean manufacturing sites.

For operations with high-stacking requirements or additional overhead hazards, our guardrail system can be enhanced with de-stacker extensions. These allow the barrier to reach a height of approximately 3000mm, offering extended vertical protection ideal for logistics centres, racking aisles, and areas where goods are stored or moved at height.

The standard system stands at 1100mm tall and is finished in a hard-wearing PPC RAL 1023 Yellow coating – the industry-recognised colour for hazard awareness and visibility. Custom colour options are available upon request, allowing you to align your safety infrastructure with corporate branding or site-specific requirements.

To further enhance its versatility, pedestrian access can be seamlessly integrated through the addition of dedicated safety gates. This modular approach allows you to create controlled entry and exit points, ensuring compliance with HSE guidelines while maintaining a clear boundary between moving vehicles and on-foot personnel.
