AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Warehouses and similar facilities face collisions between stock-handling equipment and obstacles, leading to damage to both the equipment and obstacles, particularly at corners, due to the lack of effective protective barriers.
Method used
A modular guard rail system with a rigid upright member, a hollow plastic rail, and an impact-absorbing connection, secured by fasteners, which can be customized to withstand stress and absorb kinetic energy upon impact.
Benefits of technology
The system effectively protects workers, machinery, and goods by preventing collisions and absorbing kinetic energy, maintaining structural integrity under stress, and allowing for adaptive installation based on the environment.

Abstract
A protective barrier includes a rigid upright member including a post, a fitting having a housing with a first outer surface and a first inner surface. The housing includes a first hole extending from the first outer surface to the first inner surface; a first end, a second end and an inner chamber defined by the inner surface of the housing and extending from the first end to the second end; the first end having a flange sized and shaped for attachment to an outer surface of the rigid upright; at least one support member disposed within the inner chamber and extending from the first end toward the second end of the housing, the support member including a second hole. The protective barrier also comprises a hollow rail including a third end sized and shaped for being received within the inner chamber, the hollow plastic rail including a third hole; and a fastener extending through the first hole, second hole and third hole such that the hollow plastic rail is secured to the fitting.
