Here’s a run of Tru-Gard™ Certified Barrier that can stop a truck!
This is an example of our highest-rated 910-3E Tru-Gard™ Barrier System recently installed at a Blenheim winery. This site has large transport trucks calling on a daily basis, using the ramps to uplift vast quantities of wine. Company management recognised the potential risk to the staff on site, should a truck accidentally roll down the ramp and hit someone. And, as seen in the photos, they also have a range of high-value tanks and other equipment in the vicinity, similarly requiring protection against wayward vehicles.
This configuration of galvanised Tru-Gard™ Barrier at 910mm high with three rows of barrier rails is fixed to a concrete foundation with full-strength end posts every 1100mm. Tru-Gard™ end posts are fixed to the ground with six screw bolts (rather than the usual four on standard support posts), hence the higher level of strength. This 910-E formation is designed to stop a 23-ton vehicle travelling at 11.5kmh and impacting at 25 degrees – it’s the strongest you can get!
Tru-Gard™ Barrier is very simple to install yourself and we will walk you through with clear instructions to ensure your application adheres to the certified structural standard: AS/NZS 1170, section 3.8.
