Market Insights Analysis of Highway Guardrail 2024-2031

Highway guardrails are installed on both sides of the road and are designed to absorb the impact of vehicles and redirect them back onto the road.

1.High degree of highway guardrail type

(1) Highway beam guardrail:  W Beam Guardrail, Thrie Beam Guardrail

(2) Rolling Barrier

(3) Bridge Guardrail

(4) Rope Guardrail

(5) Other special guardrails

Road guardrail is divided into different types according to its design and structure. The main types are Highway Beam Guardrail, Rolling Barrier, Bridge Guardrail and Rope Guardrail. Beam guardrail divided into two types, W Beam Guardrail, and Thrie Beam Guardrail, is composed of a series of w beams, and can provide a strong safety barrier, of which the three-wave guardrail design durability and protection is higher. Rolling Barrier is a new type of guardrail which is assembled from PU/EVA rollers and galvanized steel posts and beams, but unlike w beam guardrails it absorbs the impact and prevents major accidents by using the rollers to steer vehicles in the direction of the road. Rope guardrails use strong steel ropes instead of w beams to absorb impacts and redirect vehicles. Other types of guardrails may include hybrid designs or specialized features.
