RhinoStop® Truck-Guard

RhinoStop TruckGuard features double height w-beam guardrails supported by heavy duty posts designed to withstand impacts from high-centre-of-gravity vehicles. The 1m system height improves visibility for truck drivers and forklift operators making it the preferred barrier solution for loading docks, transport logistic warehouses and carparks frequented by heavy vehicles.

RhinoStop Truck-Guard 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.

RhinoStop® Truck-Guard FAQs

Is RhinoStop TruckGuard suitable for pedestrian areas?

Yes, the modular design of RhinoStop TruckGuard can be assembled with a pedestrian handrail and mesh infill panels. 

Can RhinoStop be installed in a multi-storey car park?

Yes, RhinoStop TruckGuard has been full-scale crash tested when installed on a 150mm thick elevated concrete slab representing an elevated car park. This crash test configuration is designed to evaluate vehicle impact behaviour and the suitability of the anchor embedment depth.

What other applications are suitable for the installation of RhinoStop TruckGuard?

RhinoStop TruckGuard is suitable for installation in warehouses, freight terminals, factories and industrial sites. The use of double height w-beam guardrail positioned 1m above ground level enhances the visibility of the barrier for truck drivers. The use of double height w-beam guardrail also caters for varying vehicle types.

Why is RhinoStop TruckGuard superior to other crash barrier systems?

RhinoStop TruckGuard featuring energy-absorbing posts at 2.0m centres has been crash tested to comply with ALL impact load conditions nominated in AS/NZS 1170.1, Clase 3.8. These crash tests include an impact with a 2000kg dual cab utility vehicle travelling at 27km/h and impacting the barrier at a height of 500mm and a 2500kg light truck travelling at 20km/h and impacting the barrier at a height of 1000mm.

How is RhinoStop TruckGuard able to withstand these high energy impacts?

RhinoStop TruckGuard features specially engineered, energy absorbing posts on baseplates. The RHS post section increases torsional strength and the yielding baseplate reduces the peak loads transferred to the anchor bolts. The deflection of the w-beam guardrails absorbs vehicle impact energy, allowing the system to withstand higher speed collisions.

How is RhinoStop TruckGuard installed?

The RhinoStop TruckGuard posts are designed to be attached to a concrete slab. Each post is secured with two (2) M20 anchor bolts.

How is RhinoStop TruckGuard manufactured?

RhinoStop TruckGuard is an all-steel construction. The posts and w-beam guardrails are hot dipped galvanised enhancing durability.
