Aluminum Alloy Explosion-Proof Fence Selection Guide | How to Distinguish Between Aluminum and Steel Fences in Foreign Trade Procurement

Large-scale overseas events, music festivals, exhibitions, and airport security projects often purchase large quantities of anti-collision barriers. The market mainly offers two types of barriers: aluminum alloy and iron steel. As the source manufacturer, we help foreign trade procurement avoid pitfalls from multiple dimensions, including material, weight, cost, applicable scenarios, and export qualifications.

I. Differences in core parameters between aluminum and steel guardrails

1. aluminum alloy, each fence unit weighs approximately 30kg, featuring a lightweight design that allows for easy assembly and disassembly by a single person. The surface is electrostatically powder-coated for rust prevention, resisting rain and sea breeze corrosion. Standard CE certification makes it suitable for long-term, repeated rental at European and American music festivals, large-scale tours, and open-air carnivals. It can be fitted with flat-foot or bridge-type bases for flexible ground fixing and can be assembled into fences of any length.

2. Steel iron guardrails are made of Q235 steel, weighing only 28kg, making them more affordable and cost-effective. They are painted to prevent rust and are often used for construction site fencing, temporary road control, and short-term use at indoor exhibitions. However, they are prone to rusting with long-term use in humid coastal environments.

II. Procurement Selection Recommendations for Different Countries

· Europe, America, Australia, and coastal countries in the Middle East: aluminum alloy guardrails are preferred because they can be reused repeatedly, have a high repurchase rate by rental companies, are subject to tariffs, and meet EU CE safety standards.

· Infrastructure projects in Africa and Southeast Asia: There is a large demand for steel guardrails, which can be sold in large quantities at low prices and are suitable for one-time use in engineering projects.

III. Key Points of Procurement from Source Factories

1. The pipe wall thickness was confirmed; non-standard thin-walled pipes were cheaper but did not meet impact resistance standards and could not pass overseas safety inspections.

2. For exported products, manufacturers are required to provide a Certificate of Origin (CO), CE certificate, and packing list to facilitate customs clearance for customers.

3. Supports customization of height, aperture, and surface RAL color code; modifications can be made as needed.

IV. Factory Supporting Advantages

Our factory can provide a one-stop solution for all guardrail accessories: various bases, connecting clips, and anti-collision posts. We can ship full containers and mixed containers to save on sea freight. Foreign trade orders can be FOB domestic ports.
