Upside Innovations Launches FlowRail: The Future of Guardrail Systems
In a groundbreaking move for safety and accessibility, Upside Innovations, a company renowned for prefabricated aluminum access solutions, has unveiled its latest offering:
FlowRail. This innovative guardrail system promises to redefine the standard in safety barriers with its unique ability to adjust continuously in the field. Designed to meet OSHA standards, FlowRail is engineered to tackle the challenges presented by real ramps, walkways, slopes, and corners.
A Game-Changer in Guardrail Technology
FlowRail stands out as the first prefabricated aluminum guardrail that adjusts from
0° to 20°, accommodating a multitude of site conditions without the need for custom fittings or on-site welding. Its pivoting connections allow it to navigate curves, corners, and grade changes seamlessly—something that traditional guardrail systems often struggle with.
Kevin Sharp, the President of Upside Innovations, emphasizes the significance of this product by stating, “Real ramps and walkways have slopes, curves, and corners. Most guardrail systems don’t. FlowRail is built for the job the site presents you with.” This forward-thinking approach not only simplifies installation but also reduces costs and time.
