GuardRite® Polymer HD & HD Plus Safety Barriers

Are you concerned your barrier won't hold up to heavy impacts?

Using three flexible rails, GuardRite Polymer HD and HD Plus industrial polymer safety barriers give you heavy-duty protection for employees, equipment and products in exposed, high-traffic areas where heavy machinery is present. 

• Flexible impact protection: Absorbs collisions and returns to its original shape without damage. 
• Cost-effective: Its low-maintenance, long-lasting design reduces overall facility costs and downtime associated with repair or replacement of traditional barriers. 
• Durability: Stops the same impact levels as steel counterparts without scratches or dents. 

Want to maintain operational efficiency and productivity while improving OSHA compliance?

Get lasting performance that helps keep workers safe without demanding constant upkeep or replacement parts. 

• OSHA-compliant design: Helps facilities meet guardrail requirements under OSHA's 1910.29 Walking Working Surfaces standard. 
• Highly visible: Safety yellow polymer rails help raise the yellow line, making these safety barriers stand out in busy, high-traffic environments.
• Lower total cost of ownership: Low-maintenance polymer is easy to install and doesn't rust, fade or scratch like traditional steel barriers.
• PLUS rail assembly: The GuardRite HD Plus model offers additional ground-level protection from dangerous tines and other unseen hazards to help prevent worker injuries or damage to product and equipment on the other side.
