Expandable Barriers - Keep Your Workplace Safe
Due to the current outbreak of COVID-19 we have seen our Expandable Barriers selling out. They are great way to section off areas of shops and workplaces to allow essential deep cleaning to occur. In addition they can be used to maintain safe distances between people at work.
Easy to set up & use, our barriers are;
- Lightweight
- Portable
- Folds for easy storage
- Easy to set up
- Highly visible - various colours including black & yellow and red & white
- Available on wheels
- Water filled options to securely stay in place
- Bulk discounts available
The outbreak is highlighting how important it is for people to ensure areas remain clean and social distancing occurs. Whilst the majority are encouraged to work at home to reduce risk, we understand that unfortunately not all workers are able to do so. It is therefore essential to ensure those workers who remain in the workplace are kept as safe as possible.
The portable barriers are a simple solution which can easily be used as an when required. Cleaning is occurring more often in the workplace, generally while workers are at work and in the evening and therefore it is essential to close these areas while cleaning occurs to prevent slip hazards. The barriers are easy to set up and portable (weighing circa 6kg) to allow cleaning staff to easily put these in place when needed.
Many workplaces are also trying to implement safe working distances between staff. The barriers are a perfect solution to highlight the essential distance required between staff. They also allow you to separate areas of the workplace to ensure staff do not enter other areas of the workplace where they are not required to to further reduce unnecessary social contact. Whilst normally it is encourage for staff to socialise with other departments, during these times it is important to control this where possible.

What To Measure
Measure the vertical height from the ground to where the end of the ramp will rest when in place.
Check the weight of your bike, consider weight the bike will be carrying including your weight where relevant.
Check the width of your motorbike, some bikes require an extra wide ramp. Also check the width of your van or step.
Additional Considerations
Consider where you wish to store the ramp and the space available.
Would you prefer to walk along side the ramp and push your bike up or sit on your bike during loading?
Often you can purchase two motorbike ramps to load quad bikes, ATVs and similar.
