Expanding Barriers

Expanding barriers are fundamental in situations where hazards or crowds need to be controlled. Environments such as shopping centres, supermarkets, construction sites and even offices can all use expanding barriers to reduce potential accidents. They're designed to protect people from dangerous or unsafe area's. So it makes sense that their designs include bright colours such as reds, whites, yellows and greens to visualise what is accessible or not.

What is the purpose of an expanding barrier?

Well, aside from ensuring the safety of the public or employee's. There exact purpose is to manage the behaviour of large groups of people by diverting danger and creating a safe passage. When it comes to construction sites, it's common to see expanding barriers mapping out unauthorised area's. This simple, yet effective solution reduces the risks of accidents and ensures members of the public aren't exposed to potentially life threatening events.

What is the maximum length of an expanding barrier?

We often get asked, "Can your expanding barriers cover X amount of metres". Our most frequent response is, yes. From ranges up to 1m-4m's, our barriers can cover large area's as well as being joined via a barrier clip. A perfect example is our Titan Expanding Barriers, where they expand to 4m's but can be connected via an optional clip. This means, that you can have a line of expanding barriers covering up to 8m's or over! 

However, it's important to note that our range of safety barriers include barriers that can't be connected via a clip. So if you require this extra feature, be sure to check if the option is available.
