RhinoStop Screen
Developed by Safe Direction, RhinoStop Screen combines the strength of w-beam guardrail with energy absorbing baseplates. RhinoStop Screen can be configured with mesh infill panels providing a system height of up to 2.5 m. The yielding behaviour of the RhinoStop Screen baseplate absorbs vehicle impact energy, reducing the peak loads transferred to the anchor bolts. The deflection of the w-beam guardrail allows for greater load transfer to the adjacent posts, sharing the impact load from the vehicle.
In warehouse applications, RhinoStop Screen is the preferred crash barrier solution to shield pathways adjacent to pallet racking or areas where stock items are stacked vertically.

RhinoStop Elite is the benchmark in modular warehouse safety barriers combining vehicle impact containment with pedestrian fall protection.
RhinoStop Heavy Duty is the preferred warehouse barrier system to withstand impacts from forklift trucks and heavy mobile machinery.
The system height of 1.0 m improves visibility for truck drivers and forklift operators making it the preferred barrier for loading docks and transport logistic warehouses.
The alignment of the w-beam guardrail with the edge of the deck ensures the barrier does not encroach into valuable factory or warehouse space.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does RhinoStop Screen work?
The yielding behaviour of the RhinoStop Screen baseplate absorbs vehicle impact energy, reducing the peak loads transferred to the anchor bolts. The deflection of the system allows for greater load transfer to the adjacent posts, sharing the impact load from the vehicle.
What are the available height configurations for the installation of RhinoStop Screen?
RhinoStop Screen may be configured with an overall height of 1300 mm, 1500 mm, 1900 mm, 2200 mm or 2500 mm.
How many anchor bolts are required to secure each post?
For a system height of 1300 mm or 1500 mm, each RhinoStop Screen post is secured to the concrete deck with two (2) M20 anchors. For a system height of 1900 mm, 2200 mm or 2500 mm, each RhinoStop Screen post is secured to the concrete deck with four (4) M20 anchors.
What is the standard post spacing for the installation of RhinoStop Screen?
The standard spacing between posts is 2.0 m centres to withstand an impact from a 2000 kg vehicle travelling at 15 km/h.
When is it necessary to reduce the post spacing from 2.0 m to 1.0 m centres?
Reducing the spacing between posts from 2.0 m centres to 1.0 m centres increases the strength of the RhinoStop Screen. It is recommended that 1.0 m centres be adopted when the system is installed in areas capable of withstanding an impact with a 2000 kg vehicle travelling at 20 km/h.
Is RhinoStop Screen suitable for pedestrian areas?
Yes, the mesh infill panels prevent climbing of the barrier system.
Can RhinoStop Screen be installed along the edge of a drop to a lower level?
Yes, RhinoStop Screen has been full-scale crash tested when installed on a 150 mm thick elevated concrete slab representing an elevated car park. This crash test configuration represents a loading dock or installation on a suspended concrete slab.
What other applications are suitable for the installation of RhinoStop Screen?
RhinoStop Screen has become the preferred crash barrier option when product is vertically stacked near pedestrian pathways.
What type of infill panels are used to assemble RhinoStop Screen?
RhinoStop Screen features high security mesh infill panels.
How is RhinoStop Screen manufactured?
RhinoStop Screen features an all-steel construction, with hot dip galvanised posts and w-beam guardrails.
