General Description of Highway Guard Rails

A highway guardrail or a traffic crash barrier is an important part of the highway safety system. The main purpose of a guardrail is to lead a safe road for traffic participates. Guardrails can make roads safer and lessen the severity of crashes.

Components of a standard guide rail: beam, post, and spacer.

The horizontal beam of a guardrail is to redirect the vehicle back onto the roadway. and the spacer connects the beam and post, it also has a function of absorbing the collision impact.

Normally, the beams are made by roll forming, and some post are roll formed.

As a professional roll forming machine manufacturer, Brother Union Machinery has been providing roll forming solutions for the highway guardrails production.

We have produced roll forming machines for W-beam Guardrail, Thrie beam Guardrail, Sigma Post, C Post.

W-beam Guard Rail

Brother Union Machinery has manufactured roll forming machines to produce w-beam guardrails.

For large quantity standard guard rail beams production, Compared to a press brake, a roll forming line by Brother Union Machinery is a better choice.

Thrie-beam Guard Rail

A thrie-beam steel guardrail is just like a double W-Beam Guardrail formed in one single profile, it is more fit to heavier vehicles in highway traffic.
