The Rite-Hite Aftermarket Corporation introduced the GuardRite Sure-Stop Barrier System today which provides protection when it is critical to have a barrier that must stop a fork truck. The rugged GuardRite Sure-Stop is an 8-inch high barrier constructed from 3/16-inch formed cold rolled steel, and is reinforced with 7-inch wide by 3/8-inch full- height gussets for strength and durability. When anchored to a concrete floor, the Sure-Stop can stop a 10,000-pound fork truck with little or no deflection. The safety yellow painted GuardRite Sure-Stop Barrier System is available in 18, 24, 36, 48 or 60-inch lengths.
Integral steel gussets provide the Sure-Stop with support to help stop powered material handling equipment, while anchoring hardware make the installation clean and easy.

Homebuilders face many challenges to turn a profit in the current housing market: higher labor costs, potentially rising interest rates, reduced land supply and softening buyer demand. While many costs are outside the control of builders, one way they can control expenses is through improved construction efficiency, especially in structural framing. A home's structural frame accounts for one of the largest parts of construction costs, and more builders are looking for dealers with design tools, equipment and expertise to help them get the most for their framing dollar. iLevel by Weyerhaeuser introduces iLevel NextPhase site solutions, a range of products, proprietary software, and services that allow builders to walk into dealer locations with architectural plans and walk out with an integrated framing solution.
