Metal Safety Barriers: Applications and Selection Criteria

Defining areas and guiding movement

Metal safety barriers can mark work areas and organise pedestrian movement. Construction sites, maintenance zones, internal facility routes and temporary diversions each have different layout requirements.

Selecting a suitable barrier

Dimensions, base design, portability and connections between units should be considered together. Clear passage widths, emergency access and ground conditions belong in the layout plan. A pedestrian guidance barrier and a vehicle impact protection system serve different purposes; protective performance must be established through the relevant technical documentation.

Details for the application

Rampel barrier solutions may incorporate wheels, ground-contact components, connectors, reflective markings or information signs where appropriate. These are not assumed to be standard on every product and should be agreed during design and quotation.

Share a site layout, the intended use, quantities and mobility requirements to support selection. Installation and operation should follow the technical requirements of the selected product.
