Types of Barricades

Have you been shopping on Black Friday? or maybe you have been to a local concert or parade? well, odds are that you have run into a barricade at some point if you’ve hung out where large crowds gather. To the untrained eye, all of the barricades look the same, a metal frame with some metal bars forming the interior, a convenient roadblock for the would-be barrier hopper trying to get an autograph or get too close to a nearby attraction or event.

The Truth, however, is that there are a number of different barricades/barriers an event planner of a business owner can choose from, these variations are designed for a very particular set of use cases where they perform best. We will be going over a few different features of each barricade and how these features affect their intended use as well as the general features present among the entire barricade range.

Bridge Feet: Typically used for outdoor use, where the ground is not perfectly flat. The bridge design of the feet allows for better stability.

Flat Feet: Used on surfaces such as streets, sidewalks, and tarmacs these barricades are ideal for use on flat surfaces.

Heavy Duty Feet: Similar to flat feet, but larger in size and made of heavy duty steel, allowing for more durability and support.

Barricade Gates:These gates swing open like a doorway, allowing for passage of people of goods through a run of barricades.

Expanding Barricades: Great for indoor use and for use on sites where construction or work is occurring. Easy to move and store these barricades are and ideal temporary barricade.
