Defender™ Guardrail
Compliant Roof Edge Protection for Every Site and Situation
What is Defender™ fold down guardrail?
Defender™ Guardrails are permanent edge protection systems designed to prevent falls from height and ensure compliance with Australian safety standards. Whether you need full-time visibility and access or a discreet solution that folds away, both fixed and fold-down options deliver long-term durability, zero reliance on PPE, and watertight installation.
Standard Guardrails remain upright at all times and are ideal for industrial and high-traffic maintenance zones.
Fold-Down Guardrails function the same way but can be laid flat after use, preserving architectural aesthetics without compromising on safety.
Available Guardrail Options
Standard Fixed Guardrail Installation Method
- Always upright, providing continuous protection
- Installed in kit form to suit most roof and platform types
- Ideal for industrial, commercial, and utility buildings
- Optional powder-coated finish to blend with building design
Fold-Down Guardrail Installation Method
- Functions like a regular guardrail but folds flat after use
- Activated in seconds—simply lift into place until it locks
- Preserves building aesthetics while meeting full safety compliance
- Perfect for visible rooftops or architecturally designed spaces
