Metal Barriers

Metal barriers are a great example of efficient, multi-purpose crowd control.

Used in a variety of settings, they are designed and implemented to not only close or limit access but control the movement of people, ensuring that crowds and the surrounding areas remain safe.

What are metal barriers?

Traditionally, metal pedestrian barriers include crowd control barriers and pedestrian barriers.

Standing around 2.3m wide x 1.1m high, metal barriers come to around hip or waist height for pedestrians and are available in a range of colours, including:

Galvanised steel finish

Red

White

Available with loose legs, which need matching metal feet to stand, or with standalone fixed legs, you can choose which metal pedestrian barriers suit your site best.

For those looking to restrict access alongside the use of metal crowd control barriers, you can consider a walkthrough crowd control barrier.

Specifically designed to give pedestrians easy-to-find access and safe egress points, these walkthrough barriers can be open or feature a spring-loaded gate, which acts as a deterrent for unauthorised access.

Who needs metal crowd barriers?

Metal crowd control barriers are a common sight in city centres, leisure venues, and construction sites across the UK.

While they are predominantly used to enclose private events and show members of the public where they should queue, metal safety barriers may also be used for a variety of circumstances, including:

Festivals and concerts

Sporting or racing events

New building or shop openings

Air and ferry ports

Fairgrounds and circuses

Road sectioning and maintenance

Around temporary displays or artwork including sculptures

Here at Tradefence, our range of fixed and loose-leg metal safety barriers and walkthrough gates are crafted from the best hardwearing materials to ensure they are reusable for years to come, no matter what the Great British weather throws at them.

Can you use multiple metal crowd control barriers?

Metal safety barriers are designed to interlock, creating a self-enclosing system.

The simple interlocking hook design makes joining multiple metal crowd barriers quick and simple, effectively sealing off any areas you want to keep secure with minimum fuss.

This makes them moderately tamper-proof, providing a challenge for unauthorised people seeking to move them, making them ideal for locations that do not have specific security staff.
