Certified PAS rated bollards and safety barrier testing standards by Tru-Gard for Australia and NZ industrial sites
Ensuring workplace health and safety compliance across industrial facilities requires verified physical protection. Tru-Gard manufactures heavy-duty steel barriers and PAS rated bollards engineered to satisfy strict WorkSafe NZ and Safe Work Australia regulatory frameworks.
While painted floor lines offer zero physical resistance to out-of-control material handling equipment, certified steel protection systems absorb collision energy and safeguard personnel across high-traffic logistics hubs.
Rigorous Barrier & Bollard Design Guidelines and Standards Compliance
Meeting modern commercial compliance requires strict adherence to international and regional engineering codes:
AS/NZS 1170.1 Standards
Our engineered safety barriers and bollards comply with Australian and New Zealand structural design actions, satisfying physical load-bearing requirements for industrial environments.
PAS 13 Compliance
Recognized globally as the definitive code of practice for safety barrier impact testing and site management. Tru-Gard barrier systems are physically tested against PAS 13 protocols to verify impact energy resistance and deflection performance.
Comprehensive Design Guidelines
Adhering to established bollard design guidelines, our systems are dimensioned and positioned to account for vehicle mass, velocity, approach angle, and operational clearance boundaries.

Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
Initial engineering calculations model structural stress distribution, material fatigue, and energy transfer under load.
Physical Vehicle Crash Testing
Prototype systems are subjected to real-world vehicle collisions at our testing facility to measure actual kinetic performance.
Engineered Differentiators: Steel vs. Plastic Alternatives
Tru-Gard systems are built to outperform conventional static barriers and imported plastic alternatives:
AS/NZS 1170.1 Standards
Our engineered safety barriers and bollards comply with Australian and New Zealand structural design actions, satisfying physical load-bearing requirements for industrial environments.
PAS 13 Compliance
Recognized globally as the definitive code of practice for safety barrier impact testing and site management. Tru-Gard barrier systems are physically tested against PAS 13 protocols to verify impact energy resistance and deflection performance.
