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.

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.

Do The Ramp People offer interlocking barriers to cover large area?

Yes, our Extendable Heavy Duty Safety Barrier, Plastic Expandable Barrier on Wheels and Aluminium Expandable Barriers are all interlocking.

What considerations should be undertaken when putting a safety barrier in a public area?

When using a safety barrier in a public area, it’s important to carry out a risk assessment to ensure it is safe and appropriate for the environment. You should confirm that pedestrians still have unobstructed access to evacuation doors and that individuals using mobility aids, such as wheelchairs, can pass safely, particularly if the barrier is positioned on a pavement or narrow walkway. The barrier should be highly visible to help prevent it being a trip hazard, and must be placed where it is not at risk of being struck by vehicles or opening doors.

What material are The Ramp People's expandable barriers manufactured from?

At The Ramp People we offer a range of barriers, including those manufactured from plastic, aluminium and steel.

Expandable Safety Barriers

The Ramp People's expandable barriers are quick and easy to set up. Simply extend the barrier to block off areas when required, for example to reduce trip hazards such as spillages in shops or wet areas when cleaning has occurred, to prevent pedestrians from entering areas where maintenance or construction work is being undertaken or to simply highlight areas which are not open to the public. Our expanding safety barriers are available in a variety of colours and extend to a number of lengths to cover your required area. The plastic portable safety barriers are lightweight, compact and portable. Our range of plastic safety barriers includes mobile barriers on wheels and water-filled barriers which are suitable for indoor and outdoor use. We also offer heavy duty metal barriers which are perfect for events, busy public sites and festivals.

Plastic Barriers

We offer a range of high-visibility plastic expandable barriers, designed to enhance safety and accessibility. Our collection includes water-filled barriers that prevent movement during use, ensuring stability. We also offer barriers on wheels for easy manoeuvrability, and interlocking barriers that allow you to block off larger areas effectively. Whether you're looking for a portable safety solution or a more robust access restriction option, our expandable barriers are designed to meet your needs. All barriers are easy to move and extremely compact when stored.

Heavy Duty Safety Barriers

Our extendable heavy-duty safety barriers on wheels are ideal for large events, construction sites, and managing hazards in busy areas. Available in four sizes, these barriers feature an interlocking design, allowing you to effectively restrict pedestrian access across any area size. The built-in wheels make it easy to position the yellow safety barrier, while the locking function and integrated brakes ensure it stays securely in place once positioned. Perfect for maintaining safety and control in high-traffic environments.
