Galvanized Highway W Beam Guardrail
Product Description
Metal-beam guardrails are considered semi-rigid barriers, where the W-beam is mounted to steel or timber posts. When impacted, they are designed to deform and deflect, absorbing some of the crash energy and redirecting the vehicle.
Galvanized Highway W Beam Guardrail is designed to create a safe and secure boundary along highways and roads, while providing an aesthetically pleasing look. W Beam Guardrail is typically constructed from hot dipped galvanized steel, which is a metal that provides a protective layer of coating to ensure long-lasting use and protection against rust and corrosion. The W Beam design is widely preferred because of the improved protection it offers from vehicular impacts and its sleek, contemporary appearance.
By offering protection from several different angles, W Beam Guardrail can reduce the severity of accidents involving automobiles. In addition, it directs vehicles away from hazardous areas and keeps them from straying off the road. Dachu Guardrail also has excellent visibility characteristics and can also be used for aesthetic purposes.
