HERMEQ’s Baulk Timber Sleepers – also referred to as heavy duty timber traffic barriers – are designed for high-impact protection across construction sites, roadside works, and scaffolded zones.

Timber Sizing and Performance
The 300mm x 300mm profile provides robust dimensional resistance to movement or surface collapse. Their dense form reduces the chance of rolling or shifting under pressure.
Construction & Traffic Uses
Used frequently in front of scaffolds, across verge edges, or to mark temporary vehicle bays, these timber sleepers act as passive protective boundaries.
Custom Sizing
While 4.8m and 6.0m are standard, HERMEQ can also source and supply cut-to-size sleepers. Please contact our team to discuss bespoke configurations or quantity pricing.

|---|---|---|
| 4.8m | 300mm x 300mm | 172.8kg |
| 6.0m | 300mm x 300mm | 216.0kg |
