Temporary Barriers

Temporary Barriers

Temporary barriers come in various sizes and shapes and are often a first line of defence against members of the public wandering into work zones where they could be injured. To keep your own staff members safe, these barriers can be arranged to create safe zones or PPE zones, ensuring that there are clear boundaries between different types of hazards. Temporary site barriers are available in a range of sizes, from small man portable barriers to large water-filled barriers designed to stop vehicles.

    • About Temporary Barriers

    Temporary barriers come in various styles, each with a key purpose, such as keeping pedestrians away from dangers or vehicles in the right lane. We stock one of the widest selections of site barriers in the country, allowing you to pick the system that best fits your requirements and budget.

    Temporary barriers are not just restricted to use on work sites; they are frequently deployed during maintenance in warehouses, hospitals, schools, and factories when an area needs to be closed to general access. This ensures that your work site stays safe and has clear boundaries where work is being carried out.

    With the large selection of barriers we offer, you can quickly and cost-effectively create pedestrian walkways through work sites, deploy crash barriers for vehicles in car parks, and simply manage pedestrian traffic on site.

    Chapter 8 Compliant Systems

    Chapter 8 barriers are designed to comply with the requirements of the Chapter 8 Guidelines. This piece of government legislation sets out how road works and street works should be deployed to keep everyone safe.

    Barriers For Pedestrians

    As the name suggests, pedestrian barriers control the flow of pedestrian traffic in and around a work site, maintenance site, or road works, ensuring pedestrian safety. They come in a variety of form factors and materials suitable for almost every working environment.

    Filled Barriers

    Water-filled barriers are a common construction barrier that ensures vehicle traffic is delineated. The water in them acts as ballast, holding them in place, ensuring they do not move in high winds or when “nudged” by passing traffic. When in transit they can be emptied, leaving only a lightweight shell to transport.

    Folding Barriers

    Manhole barriers are common folding work barriers deployed around specific elements that could pose a threat to passers-by, such as open manhole covers, electrical cabinets and out-of-order equipment.

    Getting The Best Temporary Barrier For Your Needs

    With so many styles and types of temporary barriers, how do you know you are getting the right thing? Here are some of the most important characteristics and considerations that should be factored into purchasing temporary barriers.

    Ease Of Transportation

    If you need to transport your barriers from site to site, consider how easy they will be to transport.

    Reflective Panels

    If you are placing your barriers near vehicle traffic, ensure they have reflective panels to help drivers identify them more easily.

    Interlinking

    Do you need a system capable of interlocking with the next barrier, creating an “unbroken” boundary around a working area?

    Weight

    Do you need to be able to lift the barrier manually, and if so, can each unit be easily lifted by a single worker?

    Colour

    Are there any specific colours that are forbidden on-site that would restrict the use of your new barriers?

    Durability

    Ensure you are buying a barrier from a trusted brand and supplier that won't let you down. A cheaper alternative may fail at a critical time, leading to injury.

    Primary Traffic Type

    Do you need a barrier suitable for pedestrian, vehicle traffic or a mixture of both.
