Why it works

Built to outlast, easy to extend

Modular build

Posts, planks and bases connect without tools, so runs extend to suit the job.

Chapter 8 compliant

Red and white reflective finish meets BS EN 12899-1, Chapter 8 and the TSRGD for public highway use.

Outlasts uPVC

HDPE planks are built to last up to 8 times longer than uPVC equivalents.

Lamp-ready

Slotted posts take a temporary lamp for extra visibility in low light.

Stable underfoot

Standard and anti-trip bases can be doubled up for added stability on site.

Frequently asked questions

Can I attach a lamp to the barrier?

Yes. The posts have slotted connectors that take a temporary lamp, giving extra visibility on the barrier run in low light.

What is the difference between the standard and anti-trip base?

Both give a stable footprint for the post. The anti-trip base is shaped to reduce trip risk around the barrier edge, which suits busier pedestrian areas.

Will this connect to barriers I already own?

Yes. All three parts, post, plank and base, are compatible with existing Postman-style barrier systems, so you can mix new stock with older equipment.

What is the barrier made from?

Virgin HDPE. The planks are built to last up to 8 times longer than uPVC equivalents.

Can I get it in a different colour or with our branding?

Yes. Posts, planks and bases can be supplied in corporate colours or embossed with company branding. Ask about trade-account pricing for larger orders.

Has the barrier been wind tested?

Yes, in a full-scale wind tunnel test against the BS 8442 wind resistance classes, and it meets the requirements for Class A, B and C wind speeds when ballasted.

What plank widths are available?

1.25m and 2m, each available with a standard or anti-trip base, so four configurations in total.
