Metaltech Steel Guardrail Post with Wedge Clamp for Scaffolding Systems

The Metaltech Steel Guardrail Post with Wedge Clamp is designed for installation on exterior scaffolding frames. It is used as part of a complete guardrail system to support 5 ft, 7 ft, or 10 ft guardrails, providing essential fall protection for elevated work environments. These posts are intended to be used in sets of four to ensure full perimeter safety around scaffolding platforms.

The integrated wedge clamp system allows for quick locking and unlocking using a rubber hammer, enabling fast assembly and disassembly on the jobsite. Compliant with ANSI, CSA, and OSHA standards, this component is a required safety element for scaffolding platforms above 10 feet.
