McCue makes impact-protection products for warehouses, distribution centres and retail back-of-house. KC Supply supplies the McCue SafeStop GuardRail system in the UK.
SafeStop GuardRail
SafeStop is a floor-mounted, modular barrier built from uprights and rails, designed to separate people from vehicles and to keep a glancing forklift blow from becoming structural damage. The uprights use McCue's shock-absorbing post technology, so impact energy is absorbed and the vehicle is redirected rather than stopped dead against a rigid steel post — which is what tends to transfer the damage into the floor slab, the fixings and the truck.
Because it is modular, the system configures to the layout you actually have: aisle ends, pedestrian walkways, racking runs, doorways and pinch points. Two add-ons extend it — SafeStop FloorGuard for low-level, floor-level protection, and the SafeStop Spinner for deflecting glancing blows in high-traffic corners. Materials are tested for corrosion resistance, UV stability and impact performance, and the system is verified through third-party lab testing, empirical testing and architectural verification.
Barrier or bollard?
A guardrail run is the right choice where you are protecting a line — a walkway edge, a rack run, a route between two work areas. Fixed steel barriers and rack-end protectors suit single points of impact. Most sites end up with both. The practical questions are traffic type and speed, floor construction (fixings need a slab that can take them), and whether the barrier also has to be a clear visual boundary for pedestrians, which affects colour and height.

SafeStop sits within the wider safety barriers collection alongside steel guard rails and rack protection, and pairs with racking and shelving where uprights need shielding. Our guides to pallet racking protection and loading bay safety cover where impact protection typically pays for itself. For a layout-specific specification, get in touch.
