These barriers are built to withstand significant force, ensuring the safety of both pedestrians and equipment in high-traffic or hazardous areas.

We offer a range of metal crowd barriers that can be bolted or cemented securely into the ground, providing long-term, reliable protection. Available in bright, high-visibility colours, these pedestrian safety barriers are easily noticeable, making them an effective solution for delineating spaces and marking restricted areas. We stock various shapes and sizes, including designs ideal for corner protection, allowing you to create a custom safety layout that suits your specific needs.

Crowd Barriers & Security Barriers

Our selection of crowd control barriers is designed to help you manage pedestrian flow and keep people away from potentially hazardous areas. These barriers are lightweight and easy to set up, making them ideal for temporary events or areas that require flexible access. Many of our crowd barriers come with a stable base for added sturdiness, while others are expandable for easy storage and quick deployment. For more controlled access, we also offer wall-mounted barriers with clip or magnet attachments, perfect for quickly opening or closing off areas as needed.

Water-Filled Barriers

Our water-filled barriers are designed to provide stability and are easy to transport. Once positioned, they can be filled with water, giving them a substantial weight of 27.5kg for extra sturdiness. These barriers are ideal for temporary use in outdoor settings, such as roadworks and construction sites, where they create a safer environment for pedestrians. When the project is complete, the water can be quickly drained, making removal and storage easy.

Modular Plastic Safety Barriers

For flexibility and ease of use, we stock a range of modular plastic safety barriers equipped with warning signs that can be used individually or connected to form a longer barrier line. These are particularly suitable for temporary work zones or areas that require clear hazard demarcation helping improve work site health and safety. We also offer boom barriers that can be lifted by hand, providing effective access control for entry and exit points. Additionally, safety lights can be attached for maximum visibility, particularly useful in low-light conditions or for roadside use.

FAQs for Safety Barriers

What are safety barriers used for?

Safety barriers are manufactured to protect people, property, and equipment in various environments by marking off restricted areas, guiding pedestrian flow, and controlling vehicle access. They are commonly used in construction sites, warehouses, car parks, public events, and other areas where safety and traffic management are essential.

How do I choose the right safety barrier for my needs?

The right barrier depends on the specific requirements of your site, such as whether it is indoors or outdoors, temporary or permanent, and the level of impact resistance needed. For instance, metal barriers provide durable, permanent protection, while water-filled or plastic barriers are better suited for temporary, flexible setups.

Are your safety barriers suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, many of our safety barriers are designed for outdoor use and are made from weather-resistant materials like galvanised steel and high-density polyethylene. They are built to withstand various weather conditions and heavy-duty use, ensuring long-term durability in outdoor settings.

Can safety barriers be customised?

We offer a variety of options in terms of size, colour, and material. Certain barriers can also be customised with additional safety features such as reflective strips, warning signs, and safety lights for added visibility. Contact our customer service team to discuss your specific customisation needs.

What’s the difference between water-filled barriers and their metal counterparts?

Water-filled barriers are lightweight when empty, making them easy to transport and position. Once filled with water, they become stable and are ideal for temporary applications like roadworks. Metal barriers, on the other hand, are typically fixed and more suitable for permanent installations, providing robust impact resistance and security.

Can I install these barriers myself?

Many of our barriers are designed for easy installation and can be set up without professional assistance. For permanent barriers that need to be bolted or cemented into place, we recommend consulting a professional installer. Our customer service team can advise you on installation options and connect you with trusted third-party installers if needed.

Are your safety barriers compliant with UK regulations?

Yes, our safety barriers meet or exceed UK and EU safety standards. For example, our Chapter 8 Barriers comply with the requirements of the Traffic Signs Manual for temporary traffic management, ensuring they are suitable for roadworks and other regulated applications.

Do you offer temporary and portable safety barriers?

Absolutely. We stock a variety of temporary and portable safety barriers, including expanding barriers, stretch belt barriers, and water-filled barriers. These options are ideal for short-term projects, event crowd management, or any area where flexible and easily movable barriers are needed.

How can I ensure my barriers are highly visible?

Our safety barriers come in high-visibility colours like bright yellow, orange, and red. Many also feature reflective strips to enhance visibility in low-light conditions. For additional visibility, we offer safety lights that can be attached to the barriers for use at night or in dimly lit areas.

Do you provide bulk discounts for large orders?

Yes, we offer competitive pricing for bulk orders. If you are purchasing multiple barriers for a large project, please contact our sales team for information on bulk discounts and special offers.

Can I return safety barriers if they are not suitable for my workplace safety requirements?
