When it comes to investing in industrial guardrails for your warehouse, it's crucial to prioritize durability, strength, and safety. Two of the most commonly used steel types in guardrails are 11 gauge and 13 gauge. At Warehouse Guard, we've made a conscious choice to offer 11 gauge steel guardrails.
Understanding Gauge in Steel:
The term 'gauge' refers to the thickness of the metal. A lower gauge means a thicker and, consequently, stronger steel. Therefore, 11 gauge steel, being thicker than 13 gauge, offers more strength and durability.
Why 11 Gauge Steel is a Better Choice:
When it comes to industrial guardrails, strength is paramount. Guardrails need to withstand substantial impacts without buckling or failing. Here, the 11 gauge steel's superior thickness gives it an edge over the 13 gauge.
Greater Impact Resistance: In a warehouse setting, guardrails are constantly exposed to potential impacts from machinery like forklifts. The 11 gauge steel, with its enhanced thickness, can withstand these impacts better, reducing the risk of damage and potential safety hazards.
Enhanced Durability: The thickness of the 11 gauge steel also translates into longer-lasting durability. This means that despite being slightly more expensive initially, 11 gauge guardrails often provide better value in the long run due to their extended lifespan.
Increased Safety: Ultimately, the purpose of guardrails is to protect. The stronger the guardrail, the better it can serve this purpose. By resisting impacts and lasting longer, 11 gauge steel guardrails offer increased safety for your warehouse employees.
