Portable Expanding Barriers

Sometimes, you need a free-standing portable barrier that can adapt to almost any opening, closing it off to general access; for these instances, an expanding barrier is ideal. These barriers use an accordion or scissor action to expand and contract, often collapsing down to something that can easily be carried by a single worker and quickly taken to where it is required. When expanded, they can reach out as long as 2 metres, with some models going even further. Available in a range of colours, sizes and materials to suit all needs.

About Portable Expanding Barriers

When you need to temporarily close an area in a workplace, there is no greater solution than the portable expanding barrier. By its very nature, it can be easily transported into position and deployed, closing off an area if an emergency cleanup is required or if a piece of heavy lifting equipment is being put into use, ensuring the public is kept at bay.

The expanding function means that the barriers can be compacted down once the job is done for easy transport and storage. This means that these barriers do not take up excessive space in storage rooms and utility cupboards, where space is always at a premium.

Available in various styles, our extensive range of portable, expandable barriers can be used indoors and outdoors, on construction sites and car parks, or even in shopping centres. They ensure staff and visitors can move safely around the site without accidentally wandering into closed-off areas.

Plastic Expandable Portable Barriers

Plastic expanding safety barriers are ideal for use in environments requiring a lightweight and metal-free product. They are easy to move around a site and also very robust. They are most commonly used during maintenance or when lifting equipment is being used in DIY shops and builders' merchants.

High Visibility Expanding Barriers

If you think you may need to deploy your barriers in areas with low lighting, then high visibility tape can be found on many of our expanding portable barriers; these make them ideal for use by electricians where they may need to disconnect power whilst maintaining a safe perimeter.

Metal Expanding Portable Barriers

These are often seen outside workshops and in the doorways of industrial units with roll-up shutter doors. They can be expanded when the door is open to prevent members of the general public from walking into potentially dangerous areas while allowing light and airflow from the open doorway to continue uninterrupted.

Getting The Best Portable Expanding Barrier For Your Needs

To get the best from your portable extending barrier system you should consider the following points;

Material

Make sure you are choosing a material that is suitable for the setting; heavy industrial environments may need a barrier system that is made from metal instead of plastic.

Interlinking

Do you need the ability to link multiple units together? If so ensure that you choose an extending barrier that supports this.

Ballasted

Some of our expandable barricades can be filled with ballast materials such as sand or water; this can make them sturdier in strong winds.

Reflective

Do you need to ensure the barrier is visible in low-light conditions or in unlit areas? If so, choosing a system with reflective strips will help improve visibility.

Wheeled

Having barriers with wheels can make them faster and easier to move around the site and deploy when needed.

Lightweight

If you need to transport your barrier between floors or up and down stairs, make sure this is a consideration when making your purchase.

Locking

Do you need to be able to lock the barrier to prevent access when there is no one there to supervise the area?
