Whether it is a street festival, a road work project or a large public event, the safety of people is the most important. One of the easiest and most effective ways to accomplish this is by using plastic safety barricades.
The plastic barricades may not look like much, they provide a lot of safety and crowd control for such a lightweight public safety tool. Here are some of the ways they protect workers and the public.
Easy to See
Quick to Set Up
Plastic barricades are also very easy to set up. There is no heavy machinery necessary, just one individual or two persons can typically set up a line of barricades very quickly. These features make plastic barricades superb for setups for short time events or during emergency situations where time is critical.
Extra Stability
Plastic barricades are both lightweight and easy to operate, but also engineered to be stable when it counts most. The majority of barricades have hollow interiors that can be filled with water or sand to give them extra stability and weight in windy circumstances and areas with high traffic.
Ability to weigh down barricades or not gives you the best of both worlds: easy transportation when empty and solid performance when filled. Once the task is complete, draining the water or emptying the sand makes it light again - making it ready to store or to move to the next location. It allows for a straightforward solution that offers significant flexibility, especially outdoors where weather is unpredictable.Save Time and Money
Plastic folding barricades are a smart investment for the long term. Unlike heavy-duty metal or concrete barriers, plastic barricades won't rust, break, or require constant maintenance; you'll be able to use them over and over again for different events or projects, and they'll last for a long time with very little maintenance, just rinse them off or clean them with a rag and you're good to go.
Because they're lightweight and stackable, they are also stored and transported easily. You won't need any special equipment to move them and it's a speedy set-up, which saves on labour cost as well. Those savings can add up over time, especially when a city, contractor, or even organizer is regularly using multiple barricades.
