What are expandable safety barriers used for?

Expandable barriers are used to enhance safety and security by marking off hazards or restricting pedestrian access. Quickly deployable, they are commonly used to mark off hazards such as spills or restrict access to certain areas when maintenance work is being undertaken. Heavy-duty barriers are often used outside to restrict the flow of pedestrian traffic to certain areas, for example during events.

What should you consider when choosing an expandable safety barrier?

Consider whether you wish to use the barrier indoors or outdoors. For outdoor use, a water‑filled barrier or heavy‑duty metal barrier may be preferable. Consider the size of the area you need to cover; for larger areas, an interlocking barrier may be required. Check the barrier’s weight; for heavier solutions, a barrier with wheels may be more suitable to make it easier to manoeuvre. If the barrier will be left in place at night, you may wish to choose a high‑visibility design or a solution with a reflective surface.

How do extendable safety barriers stay in place?

Some of the plastic expandable barriers can be filled with water or sand to weight them down to ensure they stay in place. The heavy-duty metal barriers stay in place due to their weight. They also include a brake system for enhanced stability.

What type of barrier is most appropriate for use outdoors?

For outdoor use we would suggest viewing the Water-filled Barriers, Heavy-duty Safety Barriers or the orange Gate Barriers.
