Stop Fork Encroachment with
Notchguard® Industrial Guardrail.
This unique, patent-pending industrial safety guardrail helps
prevent accidental damage caused by forklifts
encroaching under the rail.
Road
guardrails are spaced at bumper and fender height to accommodate cars and
trucks. Most industrial safety rail,
like our own Guardsmith® product line is spaced like this also.
We found that many of our customers had problems with forklift damage to
products protected by standard industrial guardrail. We developed the
patent-pending Notchguard to solve that problem.
Notchguard® is different. The bottom rail on Notchguard® is
designed to prevent the forks attached to a lift truck from protruding
through the rail, causing product damage.
Forklift industry safety guidelines say the forklift operator should travel
with the forks in the lowest possible position. Operators conforming to
these guidelines travel with the forks 6” to 8” off the ground.
Notchguard®
barriers help prevent these forks from encroaching on product stored on the
other side of the rail. In addition, this rail configuration prevents
encroachment of straddles on stackers from getting under the rail.
Notchguard® industrial safety rail is easy to install with common tools such
as wrenches, sockets and hammer drills. All fasteners are included even the
floor anchors and simple installation instructions are included with each
order.
Notchguard® uses the sturdiest posts in the industry. Each post is
manufactured from 5” x 5” square tubular metal welded to a 10” x 10” baseplate. Each rail is designed to assure structural stiffness to meet the
10,000 lb. at 4 mph breakthrough rating when installed in proper concrete
depth.
All posts and rails are painted powder coated safety yellow.
