New edge protection
September 1st 2003

SGB says its Extraguard edge protection system has been designed to set a new standard in the market for robustness, ease of installation and durability. The product satisfies the new requirements outlined in the European (British) Standard for edge protection prEN13374. Extraguard is a barrier system designed for maximum security in a variety of applications. The system comprises a universal fence panel and post and a range of fixing components to suit the application. The Du-al beam clamp uses a wedge device to give a strong, secure double-sided clamping action. The clamp can be fastened to the top of SGBs Du-al aluminium beams and most industry beams from 75 to 100mm wide. The slab clamp allows the Extraguard system to be firmly fixed onto slab edges or upstands to 550mm thick. Where beam and slab clamps cannot be used, SGB provides a socket set comprising male and female components that can be screwed easily to the floor. Standard fence panels are 2.6m wide, 1.15m high and easy to handle. Half-length panels are available.
