Product Description
Guardrail spacer block (also called blockout / offset block) is the key energy-absorbing fitting of W-beam crash barrier system, installed between guardrail beam and steel post. Available in trapezoidal, U-shape, box type and thrie-beam twin block styles, stamped from Q235 steel with full hot dip galvanization. It is an indispensable energy absorption component for road anti-collision safety.

- Energy Absorption & Injury Reduction: Deform under vehicle impact to absorb crash kinetic energy, avoid rigid collision between cars and posts, effectively lower passenger injury risks.
- Stress Dispersion: Create buffer gap between beam and post to evenly distribute impact force, prevent beam crack and post bending, improve overall barrier crash resistance.
- Standard Crash Height Control: Lift W beam to regulated safety height to stop vehicles sliding under the guardrail and running off road.
- Drainage & Anti-Rust: Reserved air gap drains rainwater and sediment quickly to prevent internal steel corrosion, extend whole barrier service life.
- Stabilize Against Ground Settlement: Buffer deformation caused by road subsidence and long-term traffic vibration, keep guardrail intact and tight for years.
Application Scenarios
Highways, national roads, municipal expressways, steep riverside & cliff high-risk sections. Compatible with 2-wave, 3-wave guardrails, round pipe posts, open U/C channel posts and H steel posts.

- FAQ:
- Q1: What is guardrail spacer block (blockout) used for?
A: It is mounted between W beam guardrail and post to absorb collision energy, disperse impact stress and prevent vehicles from sliding under the barrier.
Q2: Do your spacer blocks fit both 2-wave and 3-wave guardrails?
A: Yes, we supply regular blocks for two-wave barrier and special twin blockouts for three-wave thrie beam guardrail.
Q3: What surface anti-rust treatment do you adopt?
A: Standard full hot dip galvanization, zinc coating thickness 60–120μm can be customized for coastal anti-corrosion requirements.
Q4: Can I customize the size, thickness and shape of offset blocks?
A: FUll customization is supported, we produce according to your road standard drawings and project load demands.
- Q5: Are prices and delivery lead time negotiable?
A: Unit price and production schedule are negotiable based on your total order quantity.
Q6: Do you have export certification for international highway projects?
A: Our factory holds ISO9001, ISO14001, ISO45001 three-in-one system certifications, test reports can be provided.
Q7: How do you pack spacer blocks for long ocean transportation?
A: Bundled by steel strips with anti-scratch plastic film wrapped outside to protect galvanized layer from damage and moisture rust.
