Industries Served by Herwin Safety
The industries served by Herwin Safety guardrail systems cover a mix of busy environments, but they all share the same need: keeping people, equipment, and products safe. Whether it's a warehouse, a manufacturing floor, or a high-traffic loading area, we understand how different workplaces operate and how our guardrail systems–Guardsmith®, Notchguard®, and Exteriorguard®–help protect them. Our job is to make safety easier with clear options and reliable products that fit the way your facility works.
Warehouses & Distribution Centers
Warehouses and distribution centers are some of the most dynamic environments we work with, and they often face the biggest safety challenges. Fast-moving teams, heavy equipment, and tight aisles make impact protection and traffic control essential.
We help facilities strengthen their operations with industrial guardrail & safety systems to handle everyday wear, busy shifts, and constant movement. From choosing the right guards to protecting inventory zones, we support safer workflows with dependable warehouse safety services built around the needs of modern logistics.
Manufacturing & Industrial Plants
Manufacturing environments come with a unique mix of people, machinery, and production lines working in close proximity, which makes clear separation and strong barriers essential. We help facilities protect their teams and equipment by offering solutions that stand up to constant motion, heavy impacts, and long operating hours. Whether you're laying out new production areas or improving an existing line, our focus is on making safety practical and easy to integrate into your workflow with reliable safety railing systems for manufacturing plants.
Logistics, Shipping & Freight Operations
In fast-paced logistics and freight environments, safety challenges shift by the hour. Loading areas, staging zones, and dock traffic all require equipment that can handle real impact while keeping people moving efficiently. We work with teams across the shipping and freight world to help protect high-traffic spaces, guide equipment flow, and reduce the risk of expensive downtime. Our solutions support these everyday pressures, offering dependable industrial safety equipment for warehouses that helps keep your operation running smoothly from dock to departure.
Facilities With Heavy Equipment Traffic
Any facility that relies on forklifts, pallet jacks, or other material-handling equipment knows how quickly a routine task can become a safety risk. Tight turns, shared aisles, and busy workflows make it essential to create clear, well-protected travel paths. We support these environments by helping teams choose products that reduce collision risks, protect storage zones, and improve overall traffic flow. From prevention strategies to better equipment organization, our solutions work seamlessly alongside your pallet jack safety and equipment to keep high-traffic areas moving safely.
Outdoor & Perimeter Safety Applications
Many facilities need protection that extends beyond the four walls of the building—areas like loading docks, exterior walkways, parking zones, and perimeter lanes all face their own hazards. Outdoor environments add weather, visibility challenges, and variable traffic to the mix, making durability and clarity essential. We help teams choose solutions that hold up year-round while providing the structure and guidance people need to move safely. From barrier placement to long-term planning, we support dependable facility protection guardrails that keep outdoor spaces just as safe as your interior work areas.
Why Industries Matter to Our Approach
Every industry operates a little differently, and understanding those differences helps us recommend solutions that actually make sense for your space. The layout of a warehouse isn't the same as a production line, and a loading dock has different needs than an outdoor staging area. By focusing on the environments we serve, we can offer clearer guidance, more practical options, and safety products that support long-term reliability. It's all part of helping you strengthen your industrial facility safety and compliance without adding unnecessary complexity to your workflow.
