Walkway Barriers

Walkway barriers are often referred to as hooped barriers or perimeter barriers, are an essential component of modern health and safety infrastructure. These robust steel hoops are designed to create safe, designated pedestrian routes, effectively separating people from vehicle traffic and protecting valuable assets from accidental impact.

In busy environments such as warehouses, car parks, and industrial sites, they provide a clear physical and visual guide that directs movement and prevents incursions. By establishing clear boundaries, our walkway barriers not only safeguard personnel but also protect building corners, machinery, and shutter doors, minimising the risk of costly damage and operational downtime.

Key Features

Our walkway barriers are engineered for performance and longevity, incorporating several key features to meet the demands of any environment.

• Robust Steel Construction: Manufactured from heavy-duty steel tubing with diameters ranging from a standard 48mm to a formidable 90mm, our barriers provide exceptional strength. The simple, curved design offers resilience against impacts from cars, vans, and workplace vehicles like forklifts.
• Durable, High-Performance Finishes: To suit different applications, our barriers come in two primary finishes. The fully Galvanised option offers outstanding, long-lasting protection against rust and corrosion, making it a perfect low-maintenance choice for all outdoor UK weather conditions. For areas requiring heightened safety, our Black and Yellow powder-coated barriers provide maximum visibility, serving as a clear hazard warning to drivers and enhancing site safety protocols.
• Versatile Installation Options: We offer a choice of fixing methods to match your ground surface and security requirements. Bolt Down barriers are ideal for quick and easy installation onto existing concrete surfaces. For a more permanent, heavy-duty solution, Concrete In barriers are submerged into the ground to provide superior strength. We also offer Removable options for areas that require occasional, flexible vehicle access.

Where to Use Walkway Barriers

The versatility of our hooped barriers makes them an ideal safety solution for a wide range of locations:

• Warehouses & Factories: Create safe pedestrian pathways, segregate work zones, and protect high-value machinery and racking from forklift traffic.
• Retail Parks & Car Parks: Guide shoppers safely from their cars to storefronts, protect trolley bays, and prevent vehicles from mounting pavements or damaging landscaping.
• Logistics & Distribution Centres: Define traffic lanes, protect loading bays, and safeguard vital infrastructure from HGV-related damage.
• Commercial & Industrial Estates: Protect the vulnerable corners of buildings, fire exits, and roller shutter doors from scrapes and impacts.
• Schools, Colleges & Public Spaces: Delineate safe walking routes, secure perimeters, and prevent unauthorised vehicle access to pedestrianised areas.

Types of Barriers We Offer

Our range is designed to provide a comprehensive solution for any perimeter or walkway protection need.

• Hooped Perimeter Barriers: These are the standard choice for creating continuous, protected walkways. Available in various diameters, including 76mm and the heavy-duty 90mm, they provide a strong physical deterrent. You can choose a permanent Hooped Perimeter Barrier Galvanised Concrete In for maximum strength, a convenient Galvanised Bolt Down model for existing surfaces, or the flexible Hooped Perimeter Barrier 48mm Diameter Galvanised Removable for controlled access points.
• Corner Protection Hoops: Specially fabricated with a 90-degree bend, these barriers are designed to fit perfectly around vulnerable corners. Models like the Galvanised Corner Protection Hoop CPH2 and the high-visibility Black & Yellow Corner Protection Hoop CPH60 are perfect for protecting building columns, racking, and machinery from damage caused by turning vehicles. Like our perimeter barriers, they are available in both Bolt Down and Concrete In fixings to ensure a secure fit in any location.
