What is a Pedestrian Barrier?
A pedestrian barrier is a safety structure to guide foot traffic, prevent unauthorised access, and enhance crowd control in public and private spaces. These barriers create clear walkways, protect individuals from potential hazards, and ensure smooth movement in busy environments such as roads, construction sites, transport hubs, and event venues.
Our pedestrian barriers are made from durable steel, with the added benefit of having anti-rust properties through galvanisation. They also feature high-visibility coatings and reflective strips to improve visibility in low-light conditions.
Our Range
We offer diverse pedestrian barriers to enhance safety, control foot traffic, and secure restricted areas. These include:
Safety Fences
Our robust safety fences are high visibility barriers to protect your work zones and workers against dangerous hazards or provide crowd control. These versatile fences are ideal for construction sites, events, roadworks, public safety initiatives, and agricultural or landscaping projects.
Pedestrian Grab Rails
Grab rails are essential safety features for pedestrians walking in various environments. They also have the added benefit of preventing slips and falls. Our grab rails come in various sizes to ensure the best fit for your premises.
Plastic Barrier Chains
Our high-strength plastic barrier chains are ideal for restricting access to work sites. Made from premium-quality plastic — these chains are lightweight and resist weather, UV exposure, and daily wear and tear.
Benefits of Pedestrian Barriers
Pedestrian barriers are an essential solution to protect pedestrians and reduce workplace accidents. Here are some of the benefits:
Enhanced Safety
Pedestrian barriers protect workers and pedestrians by separating walkways from hazardous areas such as construction zones, roadworks, or high-traffic areas. Additionally, they help prevent accidents by guiding pedestrians along safe routes.
Crowd Control
If you manage large crowds at your event, pedestrian barriers ensure orderly movement and reduce overcrowding risk.
Access Restriction
Barriers provide a physical boundary restricting unauthorised access to areas such as maintenance zones or VIP sections.
Traffic Management
Barriers like grab rails help direct foot traffic efficiently, minimising confusion in busy areas like transport hubs, shopping centres, and industrial sites.
Durability and Weather Resistance
Our pedestrian barriers are made from steel materials and heavy-duty plastic, ensuring long-lasting performance even in harsh weather conditions.
High Visibility
Reflective tape and high-visibility paint make our barriers visible in low-light conditions, enhancing safety at night.
Compliance with Regulations
Using pedestrian barriers ensures compliance with Australian safety and accessibility standards.
Pedestrian Barriers FAQs
How are pedestrian barriers installed?
For barriers equipped with base plates, the base plate is secured to the ground using appropriate anchors or bolts. Safety fences are easily secured with posts, and you can attach barrier chains to our T-Top bollards for easy removal or access to an area.
What is the lifespan of your barriers?
Our barriers are made from durable materials like steel or heavy-duty plastic, and use durable paint, contributing to a longer service life. Overall lifespan will depend on several factors such as use, location and care.
Are the barriers reusable for multiple events?
While grab rails are for permanent installation, safety fences and chains are reusable for multiple sites and events. Therefore, choosing those explicitly designed for portability and repeated use when selecting barriers for various events is advisable.
