Rapid Barrier

EU003/NA003

Rapid-Barrier is a pre-galvanised edge protection barrier with an innovative, robust, and lightweight design. Rapid Barrier can withstand the harsh climate and environment in which they will be used and have a powder coating finish for longevity. Rapid-Barrier is a revolutionary solution for quick, on-site edge protection with reduced installation time thanks to the barrier’s cleverly engineered fixing centres of 2.7m, the largest on the market. Think of this product as a first-class, practical, and smart solution to edge protection safety.

Rapid Barrier works in conjunction with all Rapid ancillaries for concrete, steel, and timber structures and is also compatible with Rapid Stair, Rapid Loading Bay Gate and Rapid Lift Shaft System, making it a versatile edge protection system.

Safety Standards

Our barriers can meet the test requirement for standard height, extended height and full containment system height.

All products are fully tested by Lloyds British test house and have been proven to meet and exceed the test requirements set out in BSEN 13374:2013+A1.2018 Class A & B for Class A and Class B.

Rapid Panel Socks

Rapid EPS system testing Class A & Class B

The standard for temporary edge protection system is known as BSEN 13374:2013+A1.2018 Class A & B and clearly states how the tests should be carried out.

In order to meet requirements for a Class B edge protection system, Class A static load testing should first be carried out.

Class A

The edge protection must resist a horizontal force of 0.3KN whilst maintaining elastic deflection within 55mm. The top guardrail must also accept a vertical force of 1.25KN applied as an accidental loading. The Rapid Edge Protection System has had numerous static loads applied up to four times the requirement.

Class B

Must resist the same static loading requirement’s for Class A and additionally must pass a low dynamic impact sphere. This test applies impact energy of 0.5 KJ to the top rail and 1.1KJ to lower areas.

Wind Loading available on request.
