The Yellow Plastic Foldable Barrier is a cost-effective safety tool designed for controlling pedestrian flow and restricting access in public or operational environments. Manufactured from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), it’s an ideal lightweight solution to metal barriers, offering similar durability with easier handling.
Measuring 3.9m when fully extended and 1m in height, this expanding barrier is used widely in retail, industrial and event settings. The folding design allows for compact storage and quick repositioning, making it perfect for mobile response, facility management and safety personnel.
Product Features:
- Foldable and expandable - Deploys rapidly and folds away flat for easy transport and storage.
- 3900mm width - Offers wide coverage from a single unit to define access zones or pathways.
- High-visibility yellow - Enhances awareness and safety in all lighting conditions.
- Impact and weather resistant - Made from HDPE for rugged use on construction and public sites.
- Indoor/outdoor versatility - Suitable for temporary works, events, facility closures and hazard control.
Whether you’re maintaining a busy venue, managing foot traffic, or restricting access to a hazard zone, this folding safety barrier delivers on visibility, efficiency, and durability. Multiple barriers can be used side-by-side to increase coverage across large openings.

This barrier is often deployed in leisure centres, airport terminals, shopping centres, and warehouses where flexibility is key. Unlike heavy steel alternatives, it provides effective crowd direction without the need for forklifts or heavy lifting gear. The interlocked segments provide stability even on slightly uneven surfaces.
It is ideal for short-term safety zoning or fast cordoning of maintenance tasks. Because it is plastic, it is also safe in environments where electrical conductivity or corrosion could be a concern.
- Dimensions: 3900mm (W) x 1000mm (H)
- Material: High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE)
- Finish: Bright Yellow – standard for safety visibility
