Galvanized Highway W Beam Guardrail

Product Description

DACHU carries an extensive inventory of highway guardrail products including 10 gauge and 12 gauge material. 

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. Galvanized Highway W Beam Guardrail also has excellent visibility characteristics and can also be used for aesthetic purposes.
