RiteRail flexible rail: 

• Designed to bend or flex when hit, then return to its original shape 
• Absorbs and dissipates energy, reducing the force of impact 
• Protects people, equipment, and the floor/anchors 

Traditional (rigid steel) rail:

• Stays stiff and resists movement 
• Transfers impact force directly into the rail, anchors, and concrete 
• Often results in damage to the rail and mounting surface  

👉 Simple way to say it:
Flex rails “give” on impact — rigid rails “take the hit.”

Flex systems:

• Typically bounce back after minor to moderate impacts 
• Reduce damage to forklifts and vehicles 
• Lower long-term repair costs and downtime  

Rigid systems:

• Can bend, crack, or tear out anchors 
• Often require replacement, repainting, or concrete repair 

Flex systems:

• Made from polymer with high tensile steel reinforcement 
• Engineered to deflect and rebound 
• Often modular and corrosion-resistant 

Rigid systems:

• Made from solid steel 
• Designed for strength and minimal deflection 
• Heavier and less forgiving on impact
