Measuring 2.0m wide by 1.0m high, it provides effective separation between pedestrians, vehicles, and workforces across highways, construction zones, utility access points, and event sites.
Constructed from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and blow-moulded for consistent strength, the barrier is exceptionally durable and weather-resistant. Integrated hook-and-eye connectors ensure secure linking between units, even on uneven ground. Fully compliant with BSEN8442 and BSEN12899-1 reflectivity standards, it also supports Chapter 8 temporary road signage protocols.

This plastic traffic barrier is designed without metal fittings, eliminating rust risks and avoiding complicated assembly. Its lightweight build, combined with swivel feet, allows for compact stacking and stable placement even in challenging weather conditions. For pedestrian areas, the anti-trip foot prevents forward protrusion on one side, helping to minimise liability risks.
Options available:
- Standard black swivel feet – Durable and cost-effective.
- Anti-trip feet – Ideal for pavements and city centre environments.
Connection system – Hook-and-eye joints with quick push-fit locking.
Customisation: Company branding and coloured feet can be supplied on request.
