What are expandable barriers used for?

Expandable barriers are used as a temporary solution to restrict access in various environments. They are used in a variety of commercial settings including in shops, businesses, warehouses, offices, construction sites and at events. Barriers may be used in shops to mark off hazardous areas, for example, if a spillage occurs. In offices barriers are often put when cleaning is being undertaken to prevent workers from walking on wet floors or to highlight that cleaning is being undertaken. During events expanding barriers are often used to restrict pedestrian access to certain areas for security and safety. The portable barriers are also often used at construction sites when work is being undertaken to highlight risks and restrict access. At warehouses, expandable barriers are often put up when loading and unloading is occurring or where machinery is in use.

Product Questions

What is the difference between the various aluminium expandable barriers?

The aluminium barriers expand up to 4m, depending on your chosen barrier. Some of the barriers offer reflectors for visibility at night, whilst others simply have orange markers to reduce trip hazards. If you wish to use the barrier in low light or at night, we would suggest choosing a barrier with reflectors.

I understand the barriers are interlocking. How easy is it to connect multiple barriers together?

The barriers can easily be connected in a matter of moments with the locking device and key provided.

Can the barriers be used in high-traffic areas?

The barriers are designed for pedestrian areas only, they are not designed for vehicle traffic nor have they been tested to withstand vehicle impact.
