When it comes to safeguarding your facility, every inch counts. Floor space is extremely valuable to any shop manager, whether it’s inside a manufacturing plant, a distribution center, or a storage warehouse, space is always needed. This is where Ideal Shield’s Guardrail options shine, offering robust protection that can be strategically installed within 12″ of vital assets such as walls, machinery, pallet racks and more.
Ideal Shield’s Guardrail solutions are designed to provide unparalleled strength and durability with its ability to absorb and deflect forklift impacts. Made from high-quality materials, they ensure that your facility remains safe from accidents and damage. Whether you’re protecting high-value equipment, critical infrastructure, or providing safety for your workforce, Ideal Shield’s safety solutions offer a versatile solution.
One of the standout features of Ideal Shield’s Guardrails is their ability to be installed in close proximity to essential elements within your facility. This is particularly crucial in environments where space is limited but protection is non-negotiable:
Guardrail Installation Options
Ideal Shield offers multiple installation options for its Guardrail solutions, including permanent options like Core-In or Surface Mounted with base plates or the removable options like the Steel Floor Sleeve or the Core & Drop method, which is an Ideal Shield specialty. With any of the installation options, this will allow the Guardrail to be installed within 6″-12″, opening up floor space for a larger work zone, walkway, or storage.
Critical Assets to Protect
Facility & Foundation Walls
Guardrails can be installed 6″-12″ from walls, providing a safeguard against collisions that could compromise the structural integrity of your facility. This is especially important in high-traffic areas where forklifts and other heavy machinery operate.
Machinery & Operational Components
Machinery represents a significant investment and is often crucial to your operations. Installing guardrails near machinery or other critical operational assets ensures that it remains protected from accidental impacts, reducing downtime and maintenance costs. With the ability to be within a foot of the machinery, the Guardrail will not take up needed space for worker movement and forklift drop off or pickup zones.
Overhead Doors & Assets
Within just about every plant, warehouse, or facility in the country, overhead doors and docks are essential for day-to-day operations. If damage is done to these areas, the entire shop can experience downtime which is a businesses least favorite thing. Installing Ideal Shield’s Goal Post Guardrails within a foot of dock door tracks can keep forklifts from causing downtimes.
Pallet Racks
Pallet racks are essential for storage and organization but can be susceptible to damage from forklifts and other equipment. The Guardrail barriers can be installed close to these racks, maintaining their integrity and maximizing storage efficiency.
Walk Ways
One important need on shop floors are walk ways for employees. Clear and protected spaces that allow for employees and workers to safely move throughout the facility are critical and Ideal Shield’s Guardrail options allow for the most floor space for walkways while keeping them protected from forklifts.
Ideal Shield’s Guardrails offer a comprehensive solution for facility safety, allowing installation close to critical assets without compromising space. Their durability, flexibility, and ease of installation make them the ideal choice for any facility looking to enhance its safety measures.
