Chapter 8 gate barrier in green for highways, sites and events
The Chapter 8 Gate Barrier in green is a freestanding road barrier for separating pedestrians and traffic on public highways, street works and busy sites. It is blow-moulded from tough virgin HDPE, links barrier-to-barrier with the S-Clip - in straight runs or full 90° corners - and carries a 600 x 450mm sign facility. At 8.9-10.3kg it is a genuine one-person lift, and the reflective strip keeps it visible day and night.
Key features

Tough virgin HDPE - blow-moulded with kiss-through reinforcements for strength and repeated site use.
-
S-Clip connection - links barrier to barrier in straight runs or full 90° corners, quick to use even on uneven ground.
-

Where it is used
Highways and traffic management, street and road works, utilities works, construction sites, and events and crowd control. Barriers link into a continuous run, guiding people and vehicles safely past the works.
Do you need Chapter 8?
Barriers used on a public highway or live road works are legally required to be Chapter 8 compliant, which includes the reflective strip supplied with this barrier. On private land Chapter 8 does not apply - if you are only managing pedestrians there, crowd control barriers may be the better fit.
Feet options
-
Standard - the original foot, maximum stability.
-
Anti-Trip - one side sits shorter than the other, reducing trip risk where pedestrians pass close.
-
Anti-Trip Razorback - double the size and weight of the standard foot, giving a lower centre of gravity and greater wind resistance.
