RhinoStop® Heavy Duty

RhinoStop Heavy Duty is designed to withstand high speed impacts typically encountered at the ends of ramps and straight aisles in car parking areas. These areas are prone to vehicle speeds up to 30km/h and therefore require a barrier system with increased capacity.

The energy absorbing baseplate and w-beam guardrail used in the design of RhinoStop Heavy Duty allows the system to absorb higher impact loads. The yielding behaviour of the baseplate reduces the peak loads transferred to the anchor bolts preventing damage to the concrete foundation.

RHINO-STOP® Heavy Duty may be configured with handrail and mesh infill providing pedestrian fall protection. The fully modular system uses off-the-shelf components facilitating rapid supply and installation and can be customised on site to suit specific project dimensions.

Features

Crash tested to exceed the 240kN impact condition nominated in AS/NZS 1170.1, Clause 3.8.
Nil damage to the anchors or 150mm thick elevated slab following crash testing.
The yielding of the baseplate allows the system to deflect and absorb higher impact loads.
Fully modular design, can be configured with pedestrian fall protection up to 1300 mm high.
All steel construction providing long term durability.
Fewer anchor bolts when compared to traditional rigid post systems.

RhinoStop® Heavy Duty FAQ'S

Is RhinoStop Heavy Duty suitable for pedestrian areas?

Yes, the modular design of RhinoStop Heavy Duty can be configured with a pedestrian handrail and mesh infill panels.

Can RhinoStop Heavy Duty be installed along the perimeter edge of a multi-storey car park?

Yes, RhinoStop Heavy Duty has been full-scale crash tested when installed along the edge of a 150mm thick elevated concrete deck representing an elevated car park. This crash test configuration is designed to evaluate vehicle impact behaviour, potential for concrete edge failure and the suitability of the anchor embedment depth.

Can RhinoStop Heavy be installed in factories and warehouses?

Yes, the high energy absorbing capacity of RhinoStop Heavy Duty makes it an ideal solution for warehouses frequented by forklifts and other heavy machinery. The high-speed impact resistance of RhinoStop Heavy Duty also makes it suitable for protecting pedestrian pathways providing positive separation.

Why is RhinoStop Heavy Duty superior to other crash barrier systems?

RhinoStop Heavy Duty has demonstrated containment of a 2000kg dual cab utility vehicle travelling at 30km/h and impacting the barrier at 90 degrees. Crash testing was performed with the crash barrier system installed on the perimeter edge of a 150mm thick elevated concrete slab. There was no damage to the anchors which were reusable.

Why is it important to consider higher speeds when selecting a crash barrier system?

Modern vehicles can accelerate to a high speed over a short distance. In car parks featuring long aisles or straight down ramps, vehicles can readily achieve speeds of up to 30km/h. The ability of RhinoStop Heavy Duty to withstand a high-speed impact considers a worst-case impact condition.

Why is it important to consider 2000kg vehicle containment when selecting a crash barrier system?

The average weight of new vehicle sold in Australia is approximately 2000kg as the vehicle fleet continues to shift towards SUVs and utes. It is therefore important that the specified car park barrier has demonstrated the ability to withstand these heavier vehicle impacts.

How is RhinoStop Heavy Duty manufactured?

RhinoStop Heavy Duty is an all-steel construction. The energy absorbing posts and w-beam guardrails are hot dip galvanised providing a durable finish.

What is the post spacing to withstand an impact with a 2000kg vehicle travelling at 30km/h?

The spacing of the posts to withstand this impact condition is 800mm centres.
