Yellow utility barrier kit for manholes, works and site edges
The Yellow Utility Barrier Kit is an interlocking panel barrier for guarding open manholes, exposed drops and works areas across utilities, construction, warehouse and retail settings. Moulded in the UK by Melba Swintex from UV-stabilised HDPE, the panels link with the Melba D-hinge and D-clips, stack in any orientation, and carry a yellow and black reflective strip for visibility indoors and out. Each kit is a single-person lift, so it goes in and out of the van easily.

Where it is used
The utility barrier works as a multi-purpose barrier across trades, indoors and outdoors:
- Utilities - safely closing off open manholes and exposed drops
- Construction - marking a physical barrier around working areas and drops
- Factories and warehouses - closing off restricted areas and machinery
- Retail - closing off aisles, staircases and escalators
