Lift-out side pockets provide an easy way to access areas protected by the guard rail. Combined with inexpensive steel guard rails, lift-out side pockets also make guard rail setup and reconfiguring quicker and easier than standard guard rail installation. Once pockets have been added to each post, the rails simply drop in place. To access guarded areas, just lift the rails out. Same sturdiness and strength as typical guard rail. Specifically engineered to protect from lift truck damage, rails are a passive protection system that guard all day, every day and help you control the flow of industrial traffic more easily. This particular interior protective railing system is a cost effective barrier against the effects of lift truck and other accidents while allowing temporary access to areas behind guard rail through the easy process of lifting out the rail sections. To close off access, simply drop rails back into place by sliding rail down into the pockets mounted to the posts.

How to Order Steel Guard Rail
What do I need to know to order Steel King Steel Guard Rails?
(You can call us for assistance of course!)
Will the guard rail fit in my space?
Let's check an example with 48" of available space on the floor for a guardrail installation. The key thing to understand is that a 4' rail won't fit in 48" due to its large 10"x10" footplates. Here's how to calculate it:
- Measure the exact length of the area you need to cover. In this case it's 48".
- Guardrails are measured from post centers, not rail length. They have 4" posts and 10" x 10" footplates for impact resistance, which means your 48" of space will not accomodate a 4' rail.
- Use the largest rail size smaller than your defined area. (Steel Guard comes in 1' increments), which is a 3' rail. Rails are actually 4" short of their listed length since Steel Guard is measured center to center of posts.
- Now, add your rail size to 10" (for the footplates) on both ends. The length of your guard rail is actually center-to-center listed length plus 10", from the outer edge of each foot plate.
- This rail will cover 48". It's 46" total, which will comfortably guard the 48" space you need.
To simplify it, take your needed coverage space, subtract 10" and use the rail size less than that. This should be accurate most every time. Your floor should be level (can be shimmed if not in most circumstances) and capable of accepting anchor bolts.
What should I know about posts?
You should use the fewest posts possible in your guardrail set up—most of the time. The maximum span is 10' between posts. Installing posts closer together provides more impact resistance, but 10' is extremely strong for most applications. More posts to cover the same area will obviously be more expensive, so you have to take that into account.
- Post placement: Cover the span with post spacing that is consistent as possible. This provides uniform protection and is also more aesthetically pleasing.
- Post Specs: 4" x 4" square with 10" x 10" footplates.
- Heights: Double rails are 42-5/8” tall. Single rails: 18-5/8” tall.
- Preconfigured solutions: The guardrails on Cisco-Eagle.com are listed as components so you can build your desired solution, but also in starter/adders, wo you can marry a 10' starter with a 5' adder to cover 15' if desired, with ease. These can turn corners or install in a straight line. Posts are drilled on all sides so you can use them as starters or adders, in centers or corners.
- Should I use double or single high? Double rails are 42" high and prevent people from stepping over them if you are using the system as impact protection and traffic management. Sometimes forklifts can still hit something behind a single high rail in the wrong circumstances. In areas where you are protecting critical machinery, expensive inventory or work cells, you should also specify double high.
You can create most any shape using Steel King posts and rails (u-shapes, corrals, etc).
Rails and sizes
Rails are available in 1' increments, up to 10'. They're built to easily swap and replace as needed.
- Design: 3-ribbed, corrugated, 11-gauge steel, 14" high x 2.5" deep
- Lift-out rails available for occasional access to protected areas. Ideal for machine guarding where service may be needed, or maintenance of a work cell that might require a scissor lift, carts, tuggers or forklifts.
- Options: You can put gates in the midst of a guardrail run as well.
