The New Standard for Industrial Guardrail

Ideal Shield Standard Guardrail System is the market’s premier, cost-effective industrial solution to protecting your warehouse and facility’s most valuable assets – people, products, and equipment.

Our Standard Guardrail Systems are built with 4″ schedule 40 steel pipe rails & 2 ½” schedule 80 steel pipe posts. The systems are available in both one or two-line rails and are sleeved in a durable HDPE plastic, which will eliminate the need for painting and maintenance. This means that you’ll be saving money on time and labor whenever accidents happen in your facilities. 

Unlike traditional-welded or bolt-down systems that require the rail to be replaced after each strong impact, our unique design is engineer tested to withstand multiple impacts from a 12,000lb forklift traveling 4 mph when cored.

“How so?”, you may ask. Well, when our guardrail is impacted, the shock is distributed throughout the entire section, resulting in minimal deflection to maximize floor space and limit potential damage as much as possible. Giving you the best “bang for your buck”. 

If you’re looking for even stronger protection, check out our Heavy-Duty Industrial Guardrail or any of our other Ideal steel guardrail systems.

Yes, you can plate or core drill depending on your application.
Ideal Shield’s Standard Guardrail System is the strongest guardrail on the market; it is engineer tested to withstand multiple hits from a 12,000 lb. forklift traveling 4 mph when cored. The guardrail is modular; delivered on-site fully assembled and never requires painting. Lastly, the system can be placed within 8’’ of a wall to maximize valuable floor space.
Our standard lengths are 4’, 6’, 8’, 10’, 12' sections. We can also do custom lengths and sizes. For continuous runs, we recommend that you use as many 10’ 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.
You can install our Guardrail a number of different ways: 1) You can use anchor expansion bolts (6 1/4 x 3/4). 2) On application of 27” and shorter, you can use a 3” core bit and drop the railing into place, making the railing modular. On installation of 28” or higher, you can add steel floor sleeves so your railing is still modular; 3) You can cement the railing into place.
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.
You can re-sleeve the guardrail section if needed.

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
