Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
Q: What is the difference between hot-dipped galvanized and electro-galvanized guardrails?
A: Hot-dipped galvanizing provides a thicker zinc coating (typically 600+ g/m²) offering superior corrosion resistance for outdoor use, while electro-galvanizing gives a thinner coating and is less durable. Our guardrails are hot-dipped galvanized for long-term performance. -
Q: Does this guardrail meet AASHTO M180 requirements?
A: Yes, our product is manufactured strictly according to the AASHTO M180 standard, covering material, dimensions, galvanization, and performance criteria. -
Q: Can I get custom lengths or thicknesses?
A: Absolutely. We offer customization options for length, thickness, and even hole spacing based on your project requirements. Please contact our sales team for details. -
Q: What kind of posts and hardware are compatible?
A: Our W-beam guardrails are designed to fit standard C-posts, I-posts, and U-posts commonly used in highway systems. We can also supply matching bolts, nuts, and spacers upon request. -
Q: How long does the galvanized coating last?
A: In normal atmospheric conditions, the hot-dipped galvanized coating can provide 20 to 30 years of maintenance-free protection. Actual lifespan depends on environmental factors like humidity and pollution. -
Q: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
A: Our MOQ is typically 500 pieces per size, but we can accommodate smaller orders for sample or trial purposes. Contact us for specific negotiations. -
Q: How do you pack the guardrails for export?
