These baulk timber sleepers are commonly used at ground level near scaffolding, verges, temporary vehicle bays and controlled work areas. Their size makes them better suited to planned placement than frequent manual repositioning, so lifting, handling and installation requirements should be assessed before delivery and use.
Baulk timber can provide a visible and substantial physical boundary, but no tested vehicle-impact rating or vehicle-restraint classification has been confirmed for this product. It should not be described or specified as a crash barrier, anti-ram barrier or certified vehicle restraint system.
Custom lengths may be available on request. Buyers requiring a non-standard size should provide the required dimensions and quantity to HERMEQ before ordering.
Suitable for pairing with HERMEQ’s full range of road barriers, traffic signage, and vehicle access systems. These baulk timber sleepers offer dependable performance for urban, infrastructure and temporary site setups.
