Upside Innovations Launches FlowRail Guardrail System

The system features a continuously adjustable base that pivots from 0 to 20 degrees, ensuring posts remain plumb across varied terrain. Because the connections pivot to accommodate switchbacks and grade changes, contractors can bypass the traditional reliance on splice castings and complex shop drawings. This modular approach allows for ordering by the linear foot, simplifying procurement for site managers who previously had to anticipate every angle during the planning phase.

Kevin Sharp, president of the SixAxis subsidiary, noted that the product addresses the disconnect between rigid industrial guardrails and the unpredictable geometry of real-world jobsites. By utilizing basic hand tools for assembly, crews can avoid the logistical hurdles of hot-work permits and field welding. The product is manufactured from 6061 and 6063 aluminum and meets OSHA standards 1910.29 and 1926.502. Available in mill or powder-coated finishes, the guardrails are designed for diverse applications, including loading docks, equipment platforms, and elevated catwalks.
