The concertina or \u2018scissor\u2019-like structure is what makes the Armorgard Barricade truly flexible<\/strong>. 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!<\/p>\n![\"armorgard-barricade-expanding-barrier-compact\"](\"https:\/\/direct2u.co.uk\/blog\/safety\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2016\/11\/armorgard-barricade-expanding-barrier-compact.jpg\")
Despite its slim construction, the Armorgard Barricade is highly visible<\/strong> 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!<\/p>\n![\"armorgard-barricade-expanding-barrier-finish\"](\"https:\/\/direct2u.co.uk\/blog\/safety\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2016\/11\/armorgard-barricade-expanding-barrier-finish.jpg\")
All the above features are what make the Armorgard Barricade a safe and durable choice in the range of Expandable Barriers.
