The Instagate Foldable Barrier is a smart, modular safety barrier engineered for rapid deployment in space-restricted environments. Built from aluminium and powder-coated in high-visibility red and white, it’s a robust expanding barrier system for sites requiring temporary access control and pedestrian direction.
Available in two heights — 1.3m and 1.8m — it collapses down to just 405mm or 410mm respectively, allowing for storage in compact spaces. The foldable design and integrated wheels enable one-person handling across indoor and outdoor areas.
Product Features:
- Expands up to 2.16 or 2.33m - Provides clear visual obstruction for work areas and hazard zones.
- Compact closed size - Stores at just 405–410mm, ideal for mobile response and small depots.
- Ultra-strong aluminium build - Lightweight and durable for repeated deployment.
- Clip and latch design - Securely connects multiple foldable barriers to extend perimeter.
- Fixing compatible - Use scaffold clamps to create corners or attach to railings or fencing.
This expanding barrier is commonly used at rail stations, construction sites, event areas, and within indoor public environments. Its folding safety barrier format is a practical alternative to fixed systems, saving time, labour and storage costs. Durable braked wheels ensure stability during use.
HERMEQ stock a wide-range of Expandable Barriers, Traffic Management Equipment, Traffic Barriers & Crowd Control Barriers conforming to all required safety specifications and regulations.

Instagate’s robust build and multi-use flexibility makes it a go-to foldable barrier system for operational sites and public service environments. The rounded aluminium design is both strong and safe, with no exposed sharp edges or snag points. Red and white powder coating enhances visibility, especially in high-traffic zones.
The unit can be positioned quickly and clipped together with additional modules to build continuous safety fencing. It’s particularly useful where space is limited — near train platforms, loading bays, corridor access points, and temporary maintenance works.
This folding safety barrier is often combined with entry gates or crowd control units to complete temporary access points. Built to withstand both indoor footfall and outdoor weather, Instagate is one of HERMEQ’s most adaptable expanding barriers.
