Barriers
Barrier Posts
We have a wide range of barrier posts suitable for carparks and other areas where temporary barriers are useful. The barrier posts below include sprung loaded, retractable, removable, drop-down and standard barrier posts.
MAJOR Retractable Post is a post which, like the MINDER, is ideal for areas that require temporary access from time to time.

• Strong galvanised steel construction.
• Effortless operation.
• Lockable with triangular key.
• 2 Models – Semi automatic and Manual.
The MAJOR is a solidly constructed retractable post that is Hot Dip Galvanised on all models for maximum service life. Standard red/white and yellow/black paint finishes are also available. The semi-automatic version features a built in gas strut that enables it to rise effortlessly out of its housing when unlocked, whilst the manual version has to be raised by hand. The post section is easily replaced if accidentally damaged.
Applications:
Market places, car parks, pedestrian areas, garage entrances, archways etc.
Specifications:
Post Dia.: 76mm

Installation & Maintenance:
It should be established that the area for installation is not subject to flooding. Penetrating dirt and contamination should be removed at least every six months and all moving parts cleaned and greased. This will ensure smooth operation and a long service life.
Standard Barrier Posts are a highly effective and adaptable method of boundary demarcation.

TRAFFIC-LINE Barrier Posts can be used with CONTROLLER Drop Down Posts, MINDER Removable Barrier Posts and TRAFFIC-LINE Railing Systems to create complete traffic control systems. In addition to the normal fixing methods TRAFFIC-LINE Barrier Posts can also be fitted into non-locking TRAFFIC-LINE Ground Sockets. For external use and extreme conditions TRAFFIC-LINE Barrier Posts are available Hot Dip Galvanised which can be combined with red reflective bands and/or painted. For internal use powder coated versions are available.

Deformable Parking Posts
Pole Cone
This range of Deformable Posts is ideal for highway, verge and urban environments. These Posts are easy to deform and quick to rebound after being struck by a vehicle or being driven over. Testing shows that after one thousand impacts the post still returns to its original position offering significantly reduced maintenance costs for many traffic management applications. A threaded anchor allows for quick installation.


City Cone
The City Cone, available in two diameters, is specifically designed for urban areas. Based on the Pole Cone it is more rigid and has two high visibility bands and two rings of reflective glass beads. It looks similar to a traditional cast iron bollard but as it is deformable it offers a cost effective alternative with low maintenance costs. Posts may easily and quickly be removed for special events using the installation tool supplied separately.
