Handle-It Double High Heavy Duty Starter Guard Rail – GR-7-S2 | Reinforced Forklift Impact Barrier for High-Traffic Industrial Areas 

The Handle-It Double High Heavy Duty Starter Guard Rail – GR-7-S2 is the foundation of a powerful, reinforced guard rail system designed for high-impact warehouse and industrial environments. As a starter section, it includes the heavy-duty posts and double-height rails needed to create the first segment of a full protective barrier—ideal for shielding employees, equipment, racking, and structural elements from forklift and powered vehicle collisions.

Built from thick, industrial-grade steel and finished in high-visibility safety yellow, the GR-7-S2 delivers long-lasting vertical coverage and reliable impact absorption. Whether you're securing a machinery zone, defining protected walkways, or building a full warehouse safety system, this starter kit provides the robust protection needed for demanding operations.

♦  Prevents costly damage to equipment, machinery, pallet racking, and facility structures.
♦  Improves forklift traffic control with visible, structured lane separation.
♦  Enhances overall safety compliance with OSHA-aligned physical barriers.
♦  Reduces downtime and repair costs caused by impact-related accidents.
♦  Adapts to facility growth with modular starter and add-on configurations.
Improves workplace organization with clean, professional safety boundaries.

The Handle-It® Double High Guard Rail System is designed for tough industrial environments where increased vertical protection is necessary.

Common applications include:
♦  Pedestrian Safety: Creating protected walkways alongside active forklift or vehicle lanes. Separating foot traffic from high-risk areas to prevent accidents
♦  Machinery Protection: Guarding critical equipment such as conveyors, presses, packing machines, and robotics. Shielding sensitive or high-value machines from side-impact damage
♦  Facility Infrastructure Protection: Protecting corners, structural columns, walls, and dock doorway frames. Safeguarding utilities such as electrical panels, control boxes, and gas or air lines
♦  Pallet Racking & Inventory Zones: Preventing forklifts from striking rack uprights or storage systems. Defining boundaries around bulk storage, picking stations, or staging zones
♦  Shipping & Receiving Areas: Controlling traffic flow around dock doors. Protecting shipping desks, in-plant offices, and staging lanes
♦  Perimeter Protection: Creating durable barrier lines around restricted or hazardous zones. Defining controlled-access areas within warehouses and manufacturing plants
♦  Traffic Management: Establishing designated forklift travel routes. Separating opposing vehicle lanes in congested or fast-paced areas
♦  High-Impact Vulnerable Areas: Protecting walk-through tunnels, tunnels under mezzanines, or elevated conveyors. Providing added height coverage where accidental lifting of forks occurs
