Safety is paramount while working in areas with pedestrians and motorised traffic. It is vital to quickly communicate dangers to machine operators, crowds, and workers to avoid slips, trips, falls, or injuries. How do you quickly mark out a working area, indicate hazards and direct traffic in one go? Having an expanding barrier handy is useful in these situations. And our barrier of choice is the Armorgard Barricade!
Expanding Barriers – Putting Barriers Between People and Hazards
Barricades help save and improve lives by creating distance between people and these hazards:
- open access to a dangerous construction zone
- distractions for machinery operators
- electrical shocks to workers
- noise disturbance to pedestrians caused by nearby machinery
- hazardous substances to clean or disinfect wide areas
- open pits and large holes with fall risks
- work at height, on building facades or tall machinery
- fragile buildings and structures, or the risk of falling objects
Armorgard Barricade – the Reliable Choice
Our Armorgard Barricade is the trustworthy value-for-money Expanding Barrier that is manufactured from 2mm to 3mm of quality steel. Its sturdy construction and powder-coated finish can withstand many obstacles such as strong winds, heavy rains, sunlight exposure. It’s suitable for all indoor and outdoor environments such as warehouses, factories, workplaces, construction sites. Transporting the Armorgard Barricade from and to these areas is quick and easy as it is lightweight at just 25kg!
The concertina or ‘scissor’-like structure is what makes the Armorgard Barricade truly flexible. When extended, the barrier can block off 4 metres of an area. But when folded, it takes up only 45 centimetres, which is just a tenth of its extended width! It has a unique safety catch to hold the compact barrier together when folded, which makes carrying the Armorgard Barricade a much safer affair than most expanding barriers!
Despite its slim construction, the Armorgard Barricade is highly visible with a Pillar Box Red (RAL 3020, an industry standard) & White glossy finish. At a height of 95 centimetres, the barrier is the perfect choice to direct traffic and visibly communicate hazards without taking too much space. The feet are 30 centimetres wide, and flat and bright enough to reduce trip risks. And yet sturdy enough to stand its ground!
All the above features are what make the Armorgard Barricade a safe and durable choice in the range of Expandable Barriers. Here is a quick infographic capturing all the essential specifications about the Armorgard Barricade Expanding Barrier.
