Galvanized Steel Barriers For Crowd Control
The Blockader® interlocking steel barriers for crowd control are ideal for crowd management and line delineation. Block off “no access” zones or use these barriers as a portable railing to establish line space. Secure your site or event with the Classic Blockader Steel Barrier.
The Classic vs Standard Crowd Control Barrier
The primary difference in the Classic and Standard Blockader crowd control barriers are the wall thicknesses. The Classic barrier has more steel and is heavier but more durable. The Classic barrier is ideal for constant use.
Crowd Control Barrier Size Options
Classic steel barriers for crowd control are available in three sizes: 3ft, 6.5ft, and 8ft.
Steel Barriers For Crowd Control Base Options
There are several barrier base options available with the bridge base and flat base being the most popular by far.
TRADITIONAL BRIDGE BASE
- The most popular base style since steel barriers for crowd control were invented
- Provides the best resistance to “push” by crowds at events such as parades
- Maximum stability on uneven surfaces
- Each individual barrier has one large base and one small base
- This allows all four points of the base to “dig in” and remain in constant contact with the ground
- Accommodates placement of barriers in both a straight line and at various angles
FLAT BASE
- Second most popular base style
- Ideal for use as portable pedestrian railing in situations where crowds will be walking parallel to barriers
- Used by New York City Department of Transportation to divert pedestrians around construction sites
- Rubber inserts provide additional friction and reduce sliding
- Features holes for semi-permanent anchoring
U BASE
- A new design similar to the traditional bridge base
- Provides excellent four-point stability
- Originally utilized by France’s Interior Department
- Rubber stoppers help protect the floor during indoor use and reduce sliding
WHEEL BASE
- Makes barriers easier to move
- Ideal for areas where constant lifting or moving occurs (such as parking lots)
INSERTS
- Available for use as an alternative to a base on the female end of a barrier
- Standard on the female end of 1-meter barriers
- Allow barriers to be placed at angles (particularly when flat bases are utilized
