Key Considerations when Purchasing Your Low-Level Collision Rails
Surface Installation
Is the surface strong enough to hold the fixings of a collision rail?
Installation Environment
Do you need a rail suitable for outdoor use? If so, a galvanised and painted item will be essential to prevent rust and corrosion.
Cable & Hose Trunking
Do you need a system that can accommodate hoses or pipes, allowing them to run around a work area without becoming a trip risk or exposed to damage?
Colour
Choose a colour that will stand out in your working environment, giving a visual warning that will help reduce the risk of impacts. Most of these protection systems come powder-coated yellow with black contrasts.
Size
If you have existing guard rails and hoop barriers, look for a low-level rail that will fit snuggly between the legs, ensuring it does not become a trip risk.
Diameter
Stopping heavier equipment requires heavier-duty, larger-diameter rails. Ensure you are purchasing something suitable for the threats in the working environment.
Build Quality
Remember, this is an essential piece of safety equipment, so choose a high-quality item from a trusted supplier and manufacturer.
