Industrial Guard Rail End Post
The Global Industrial 652901 is a double-rail end post designed for lift-out guard rail systems in warehouses and loading docks. It provides a fixed anchor point for removable rails that protect equipment from forklift impacts while allowing temporary access when the rails are lifted out. The post suits facilities needing flexible pedestrian or vehicle barriers.
5000 lb Impact Rating at 4 mph
The post is rated to withstand a 5000 lb impact at 4 mph, defining the practical limit for light-duty industrial traffic. The 11-gauge steel construction and 1/4-inch base plate thickness support this rating, while the 16 mm mounting holes accept standard anchors. Exceeding the rated speed or mass reduces the protective capability of the system.
Replaces Fixed Barriers
This lift-out post replaces permanent welded barriers where occasional wide-load access or maintenance clearance is required. The upgrade is worth it when a facility needs OSHA-compliant yellow visibility and 42-inch height but must keep aisles open for large pallets or machinery moves. It does not suit sites requiring continuous, non-removable perimeter guarding.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the double-rail end post or a single-rail version for my guard rail run?
The 652901 model is a double-rail end post; select it when your layout requires two horizontal rails on the terminal post, and choose a single-rail post only if your system uses one rail per level.
What does the 5,000 lb impact rating at 4 mph mean for daily forklift traffic?
It indicates the post assembly can absorb a 5,000 lb hit at 4 mph without structural failure, providing a measurable safety margin for typical lift-truck speeds in light-duty zones.
The base plate has 16 mm mounting holes — what anchor size does that cap in practice?
The 16 mm (5/8 in) holes accept 5/8 in diameter wedge or sleeve anchors, limiting you to that anchor size for secure floor attachment.
