Erecting and maintaining safety guardrails are a great way to make sure you keep people and machinery out of dangerous areas. Safety is always a top priority on the job. If you operate in an industrial workplace with heavy machinery, it's especially important to take precautions to make sure both people and property are kept out of harm's way.

All it takes to find guardrail supplies online is a little bit of research and knowing what you're looking for. A guardrail manufacturer may specialize in certain sizes or types of guardrails, so be sure to compare products when you browse the Internet. Find stainless steel guard rails for any workplace application. Some of the main uses of industrial guardrails include:

1. In-plant offices. Protect your workspace from heavy machinery.

2. Stairways. Safety guardrails will keep pedestrians safe from falling or from mobile equipment.

3. Storage areas or loading docks. Even in the absence of constant traffic, guardrails can act as a reminder for employees about areas it's not safe or prudent to enter.


Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Find stainless steel guard rails at the strength you require


Steel guardrails come in different strengths and sizes depending on your intended use. If you're searching for guard rails to use in low traffic areas, or places where heavy machinery like forklifts are not apt to travel, you may be looking for standard strength guardrails. If on the other hand you need guardrails for a particularly busy or dangerous intersection in your plant, you may want taller and more heavy duty guardrails.

I recommend: Check out the industrial steel guardrails offered by Cisco-Eagle. They offer guardrails in standard-duty or heavy duty variations, and at multiple heights.

Get feedback on your custom guardrail layout


If you want to install industrial guardrails in your workplace and are looking for a quote on the price and materials needed, contact a guardrail manufacturer to evaluate your project. Guardrail suppliers can provide the materials and also advice on your proposed plan.

I recommend: Herwin is a guardrail manufacturer who also provides guardrail supplies. Fill out a worksheet detailing your project layout and fax them a copy so they can evaluate your needs and place an order for all the necessary materials.

Get an immediate quote on guardrails and materials


If you're looking for quick feedback on materials for your project, go online and fill out a manufacturer's survey. Specify your guardrail needs and the timeline of your project to receive a quote on materials when you need it.

I recommend: Check out Allied Modular's selection of Tufguard rails, then fill out a quote request detailing your needs and project timeline.

Tips & Tactics
Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide

  • Sometimes you need mobile or non-permanent guardrails. Look for a temporary guardrail manufacturer whose products may be moved or easily replaced when they're no longer needed.
