Ezy-Guard Smart Guardrail
The Ezy-Guard guardrail is made to reduce driver impact risks.
The Ingal Ezy-Guard Smart guardrail crash barriers impose lower forces to the impacting vehicle than traditional roadside guardrails. As the crash barrier deflects, vehicle impact energy is dissipated which as a result, reduces occupant risk. The Ezy-Guard guardrail has lightweight, ductile Z-posts that provide a forgiving impact, reducing ride-down deceleration forces and minimising vehicle damage.
The Ezy-Guard Smart guardrail’s lighter Z posts give it a significant advantage over other types of guardrail systems, and this has been shown in its ability to minimise damage and alter the direction of pick-up trucks weighing at 2270 kg at 100 km/h.

High vehicle containment.
The yielding action of the Z-posts on the Ingal Ezy-Guard Smart guardrails reduces risk to vulnerable road users whilst providing high vehicle containment to MASH TL3.
It is compliant and commonly used for projects involving main roads, with Z posts that are 1600mm in length, with the top of the posts above ground measuring 720mm. The W-beam guardrail also measures at 730mm above ground level.
Ezy-Guard is part of our complete range of roadside guardrails, which includes W-Beam, Thrie-Beam, and ARMCO systems for different speed environments and road configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Ezy-Guard is a guardrail system built to reduce the force of impact on vehicle occupants during a collision. Unlike standard beam barriers, its post-and-rail design slows vehicles down more gradually, which can reduce injury severity in lower-speed crashes.
Ezy-Guard is suitable for a range of road environments from suburban streets through to high-speed country and rural roads, depending on the post spacing and configuration specified. The system has been tested to the relevant MASH performance levels, making it an accepted option for roads managed by Transport for NSW and local councils.
Ezy-Guard is manufactured and crash-tested to meet Australian and international road safety barrier standards, including the requirements of AS/NZS 3845. It is an accepted product for use on NSW roads and has been specified on projects by Transport for NSW, local councils, and private road managers. We work closely with project managers to ensure all installations by Metal Fencing Specialists are carried out to the manufacturer’s guidelines and your project specifications.
Ezy-Guard is installed by driving posts into the ground at the specified spacing and fitting the rail sections and post-and-block assemblies in sequence. For most standard roadside runs, installation is quick and can be completed with minimal traffic disruption. Project timelines will depend on the length of the barrier run, site access conditions, and any civil preparation required. For a more accurate timeline for your project, contact our team on 1300 904 284.
Ezy-Guard is designed for straightforward post-driven installation in most soil conditions, reducing the need for extensive civil preparation. In areas with rock, poor soil, or constrained working space, alternative post foundations may be required. We assess site conditions as part of the pre-installation process and help you decide on the most practical installation approach for your project.
