Classic BLOCKADER® Interlocking Steel Barrier Specifications

PURPOSE AND USE
Interlocking steel barriers, when linked together, act as both a physical and psychological restraint, creating the sense of a dividing "solid wall." They are designed to physically discourage transgression and encourage directional order and crowd control.Our steel barricades are available in three lengths with the following overall dimensions:
2-Meter Frame (most commonly used)
1-Meter Frame
2.5-Meter Frame

BASES
  • Traditional bridge bases are designed so that each steel barrier has one large base and one small base, located at the extreme ends of the frame.
    • This allows for four points of the base to remain in constant contact with the ground, as well as accommodating placement of steel barriers in both a straight line at various angles.
  • There are four types of bases:
    • Bridge Base • "U" Base • Flat Base • Wheel Base
  • All bases are bolt-on replaceable and interchangeable for any size barrier.
  • The height of a steel barrier will remain constant no matter which style base is used.
  • All bases are made of 16 gauge, 1.5" O.D. steel.
  • Flat and "U" bases have replaceable rubber inserts.
HOOKS
  • BLOCKADER® steel barriers are designed to be linked together via male hooks. A 30 degree bend in the male hook creates a positive interlock which prevents it from becoming disengaged.
  • Each male hook is a 5/8" steel rod, welded to the frame on both ends. Each female receptor is a 3/16" by 1.5" steel plate welded to the frame.
THREE-WAY INTERLOCK

  • The style and location of the hooks and receptors is designed to accommodate a three-way interlock set-up, in which three steel barriers are connected at one point (one at a right angle, while the other two are side-by-side in a straight line.)
  • This counter-bases the continuous line, and enables the creation of a reinforced double line (running parallel to the original line, supported by counter braces).

Three-way interlocking capability enables placement of barriers at right angles.

SIGNAGE OPTIONS

  • Frames are pre-drilled to accommodate interchangeable signs. Holes are drilled prior to hot dip galvanizing to prevent rusting.

Holes are pre-drilled for signs.

 
VERTICAL UPRIGHTS
 
 
FINISH
 
  • Vertical uprights are 16 gauge", 5/8" O.D. steel tubing
  • Inserted into frames before welding.
    For utmost protections against slip-through.
  • The number of uprights per frame is different for each of the three frame lengths.

BLOCKADER® interlocking steel barriers (and individual bases) are hot-dip galvanized after fabrication to ensure optimum protection of the steel, resulting in a longer life-span.
