FREESTANDING DEFENDER BARRIER ANCHORED DEFENDER BARRIER

DEFENDER BARRIER® BETTER BY DESIGN

Unlike the old 12 metre steel barriers that were first tested and approved under the superseded NCHRP 350 test standard, Defender is designed and tested from the ground up to be fully compliant with the new and more robust MASH16 standard. They are designed and tested to cope with up to 59% more energy from an impact than the older products, making your site safer from impacts by larger vehicles on the roads today. This means that Defender is shorter with a tighter connection to ensure that it can absorb energy and prevent vehicles getting into the work area. But don’t let the 3.9m length fool you. With Safe Lifter, it is just as quick as the old 12m barriers to install.

QUICK & EASY TO INSTALL

NO MORE PLASTICS

DEFENDER BARRIER® DIRECTLY REPLACES WATERFILLED SAFETY BARRIERS AND CONCRETE SAFETY BARRIERS.

SWITCH TO STEEL

USE DEFENDER BARRIER® FREESTANDING
AND SAVE THOUSANDS OF LITRES OF WATER

Low speed works are often protected by waterfilled plastic barriers because they are the familiar default barrier, the one that the hire company send. Plastic waterfilled barriers have now been superseded by Defender Barrier® Freestanding.

Freestanding Defender Barrier® uses removeable ballast boxes to provide the mass you would normally get from water. This means that a 150-metre work zone using Defender will be ready in a little over an hour compared to 9 hours of water filling before the plastic barrier site is ready.

The great advantage of Freestanding Defender Barrier® is that in testing it moved only 1.2 m at 70kph. The most popular waterfilled barrier moved 4.1 m in the same test.

Clearly, when you switch to steel with Defender on your job site you save thousands of litres of water and the site is a safer site for the workers.
