Ideal Forklift Protection

Unmatched Strength and Durability

Ideal Shield Heavy-Duty Guardrail System is the industry’s strongest and most reliable industrial guardrail solution for protecting high value assets.

Available in multiple lengths and heights, Ideal’s steel pipe guardrail is sleeved in a durable HDPE plastic and available in both one line and two line options. The plastic sleeving ensures the safety guardrails require virtually no maintenance or painting. This feature helps save money on accidents and maintenance fees throughout the life of the product.

Unlike traditional-welded or bolt-down systems that require the rail to be replaced after an impact, the unique design is engineer tested to withstand multiple collisions from 12,000lb forklifts traveling 8mph when cored in all high traffic areas. Upon impact, the Guardrail distributes the shock throughout the entire section, resulting in minimal deflection to maximize floor space and limit potential damage as much as possible to the forklift, driver, and flooring.

Standard color is safety yellow. Custom colors, including Gunmetal Gray, are available upon request.

For installation, the Heavy Duty Guardrail can be installed in multiple ways, including Core-In, Surface-Mounted, Removable with Steel Floor Sleeve, or Core & Drop.

Standard Guardrail is made of 4’’ sch. 40 steel pipe rails and 2 1/2 sch. 80 steel pipe posts. SGR is engineer tested to withstand multiple hits from a 12,000lb forklift traveling 4 mph when cored. Heavy Guardrail is made of 6’’ sch. 40s steel pipe rails and 4’’ sch. 80 steel pipe posts. HGR is engineer tested to withstand multiple hits from a 12,000lb forklift traveling 8 mph when cored.

Ideal Shield’s Heavy Guardrail System is the strongest guardrail on the market; engineer tested to withstand multiple hits from a 12,000lb forklift traveling 8 mph when cored. The guardrail is modular; delivered on-site fully assembled and never requires painting. Lastly, the system can be placed within 6” to 8’’ of a wall which will maximize valuable floor space.

The Heavy Duty Guardrail installation options include Core-In, Base Plated, Removable with Steel Floor Sleeve, or Core & Drop. For more information, you can find all of the Guardrail installation options under the "Guardrail Installation Options" page.

Our standard lengths are 4’, 6’, 8’, 10’ and 12’ sections. We can also do custom lengths and heights as well. For continuous runs, we recommend that you use as many 10' or 12’ sections as possible and space each section 6’’-8” apart.

We use a no-weld process which allows the guardrail to disperse energy upon impact, creating a stronger, more durable guardrail. Once assembled, the posts and base plates will tighten into place and be stable for contact.

In terms of customization, our safety guardrails are available in two different colors including highly visible safety yellow, and gunmetal gray – a high-end alternative to galvanized rail. The Standard guardrail is also available in a variety of sizes, heights and mounting options thanks to the fact that all of the manufacturing takes place right here in the United States. We can build your guardrail to any specification.

Yes, you can contact Ideal Shield to re-sleeve the guardrail section, if necessary.

What our customers are saying

“We purchased some sign bollard covers from you all a few months ago and they work great! So far we’ve had 0 signs fall over in our parking lot. This time last year we had 2-3 fall over so already we’ve saved roughly $500 dollars in damages.”

William Myers - Amazon

“I have been truly impressed with the covers we bought from you so many years ago. They have been exposed to direct sunlight for years and have not faded one bit after all this time! Kudos!”

Mark C. - UBT

“First and foremost, we have loved the sign bases. They have gone through the various states of weather that Minnesota has to offer and they are withstanding the weather and doing a great job for us. At this time, we have all of our needs, however, after the Super Bowl and when we head into our spring events we could be looking to purchasing additional signs. ”

Representative from US Bank Stadium, home of the Minnesota Vikings & Super Bowl 52

“This is just what we were looking for. Well made. We will be installing it next week. Everyone here is excited to have a railing to hang onto with winter coming. We at St. Cyprian thank you and your facility for help us.”

Carl Baltosiewich w/St. Cyprian

“Ideal Shield had some of the best prices on the market for bollards and covers. They were very easy to deal with and provided prompt shipment. The quality of the material was exceptional and a breeze to install.”

James Harvill

“Steris Pharmaceutical chose Ideal Shield handrail because it’s sturdy, and the mounting brackets worked really well. Very happy with the product.”

Kevin Korb - Rite Hite

“When compared to other railing systems, Ideal Shield’s anchor system is cost-efficient and super strong – plus fully removable for relocation. Ideal Shield offers quality products that are very durable and never require painting.”

Donnie Frederick - Odessa College

“Ideal Shield has helped me out of many issues over the last couple of years. The restaurant business is always under a sense of urgency. It’s refreshing when someone drops everything & goes the extra mile to help. That is VERY rare this day & age.”

Kari Carper - BDH Contracting
