Details
The HERMEQ GB2 Water Filled Barrier is a robust traffic control solution engineered for high-risk, high-traffic sites. With a 318L water capacity and 350kg filled weight, it delivers unrivalled stability for road construction barriers and long-duration safety zones.
Manufactured from UV-stabilised plastic, this water filled road barrier resists weathering and deformation. Its modular hook-and-eye design allows easy setup, cornering up to 35°, and the creation of long continuous runs. Once filled, the GB2 withstands winds up to 78mph—making it one of the most wind-resistant plastic road barriers on the market.

- Quick deployment – Barriers weigh 32kg empty and are easily handled by two workers.
- Integrated forklift slots – Enables fast and safe loading or repositioning of stacked or filled units.
- Optional fence kits – Add height and restrict access with mesh or hoarding extensions.

This water filled traffic barrier is ideal for use in conjunction with road construction barriers, traffic signs, and vehicle control systems. HERMEQ also supplies RB22 barriers and RB2000 models for alternate specifications or site requirements.
