Detailed Product Description
The AASHTO M180 Municipal Guardrail from Anping Xinye is engineered to provide reliable vehicle containment on roads with speed limits up to 70 km/h (45 mph) in municipal settings.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Q: Is this guardrail suitable for use on highways? A: Yes, the AASHTO M180 standard is commonly used for both highway and municipal applications. The 2.5mm thickness is appropriate for most road classifications. However, for high-speed freeways, a thicker gauge (e.g., 3.0mm) may be required – please consult your project specifications.
- Q: Does the terminal end come pre-assembled? A: The terminal end is typically shipped as a separate component that is bolted to the guardrail section during installation. This allows for easier transportation and field adjustment. Detailed assembly instructions can be provided.
- Q: What is the weight of one 3.0m section? A: Approximate weight is 45-50 kg per section, depending on exact material composition. This makes it manageable for manual handling with proper equipment.
- Q: Can I get custom lengths or thicknesses? A: Yes, we offer customization options including different lengths (e.g., 2.0m, 4.0m) and thicknesses (e.g., 3.0mm). Please contact our sales team with your requirements.
- Q: How is the guardrail protected against corrosion? A: The guardrail is hot-dip galvanized after fabrication, which provides a thick zinc coating that bonds metallurgically to the steel. This process offers excellent protection even in coastal or industrial environments.
- Q: What type of posts are compatible with this guardrail? A: Standard AASHTO M180 posts are compatible, such as I-beam posts (W6x9, W8x10, etc.) or C-channel posts. We can also supply matching posts and hardware upon request.
- Q: Do you provide testing certificates? A: Yes, we can provide a material test certificate and a galvanizing thickness report for each batch. Third-party testing is available upon request at additional cost.
