Barriers

Chapter 8 pedestrian barriers are high-visibility plastic barriers compliant with UK
Chapter 8 regulations, ideal for roadworks and pedestrian safety. Commonly 2
metres long and 1 metre tall, they can be flat-packed for efficient transport.
Options include the JSP Titan and Avalon barriers. We stock a variety of
colourways too from standard orange to blue and green.

Compact and foldable, manhole barriers are designed to secure open manholes and utility works. The Utility Barrier, for instance, is available in 750mm and 1-metre widths and features retroreflective panels for enhanced visibility. Again, these are available in a mix of colourways.

Available in metal and plastic variants, Start Safety’s range of crowd control barriers are essential for managing pedestrian movement during events or in public spaces like concerts and festivals. Options include fixed-leg and loose-leg designs, with galvanised finishes for extra durability.

Heavy-duty water-filled barriers are unsurprisingly filled with water to provide stability and are suitable for delineating traffic lanes or protecting work zones. The RB500 model, for example, offers interlocking capabilities for extended runs.

Lightweight and versatile, these post and chain barriers are ideal for indoor or low-traffic areas. They consist of posts connected by chains and are often used in warehouses or retail environments.

Retractable barriers feature belts or ropes and are commonly used for queue management or temporarily restricting access to certain areas. They come in various styles, from industrial yellow-and-black designs to polished chrome finishes for formal settings like celebrity events or store launches.

Constructed from metal, hoop barriers are used to protect infrastructure and manage vehicle access. They are available in bolt-down or cast-in options depending on the requirements of your project, and are suitable for car parks, warehouses, and pedestrian areas.

These portable barriers can be extended to various lengths, making them ideal for temporary closures or guiding pedestrian flow. Models like the Titan Expander Barrier are lightweight and easy to deploy.

Designed to improve car park safety and to protect buildings and other vehicles, Armco barriers are easy to install and can be bolted onto your existing surfaces.
