RHINO-STOP® Truck-Guard – Heavy Vehicle Impact Protection for Industrial Zones
RHINO-STOP® Truck-Guard system, developed and manufactured by Safe Direction, is a purpose-built safety barrier designed to handle impacts from high-centre-of-gravity vehicles such as rigid trucks and forklifts. Featuring twin w-beam guardrails and a standard height of 1000mm, the system provides increased visibility and protection—making it ideal for loading docks, logistics centres, and heavy-vehicle car park zones.
The barrier system is compliant with the 40kN impact load (Type G) as outlined in AS/NZS 1170.1, Clause 3.8, ensuring robust vehicle containment in high-risk industrial areas. The yielding baseplate design reduces impact forces on anchors, while optional sight rails and mesh infill provide additional pedestrian safety along elevated or mixed-traffic areas.
Built as a modular system using standardised components, RHINO-STOP® Truck-Guard is easy to install and can be customised to suit project-specific site requirements.
Note: Supamaxx is not an exclusive distributor of RHINO-STOP® products. We install the RHINO-STOP® range as part of our broader safety and barrier solutions, using genuine components supplied by Safe Direction.
