Quick answer: Single height guardrail uses 19″ steel posts with a 12.2″ rail at 17.61″ high, the height of forklift forks and wheels. It protects racking ends, machinery, conveyors and walls, and is rated 10,000 lb at 4 mph when properly installed. Starter kits start at $273 and add-on kits at $167.

Single height guardrail uses heavy-duty 19″H posts and a single rail to stop forklifts and pallet jacks at bumper height. It is ideal for protecting walls, machinery, electrical panels, racking ends and the edges of marked walkways where a full-height barrier is not required.

Begin with the single height starter kit (2 posts, 1 rail and hardware), then extend the run with single height add-on kits. Individual single height post kits and guardrail beams make repairs and custom lengths simple.
