FAQ
What types of expander barriers do you offer?
We offer two aluminium expander barrier options: a standard straight 3m barrier and a multi-sided barrier with three 2.5m extending sections for greater coverage and flexibility.
What is the difference between the 3m barrier and the 3-sided barrier?
The 3m barrier is a straight-line solution ideal for quickly blocking off a single area. The 3-sided barrier extends in three directions (3 x 2.5m), making it perfect for surrounding hazards or creating a more enclosed safety zone.
Which expander barrier should I choose?
Choose the 3m barrier for simple, linear setups like walkways or doorways. Choose the 3-sided barrier when you need to wrap around equipment, spills, or hazards and create a more controlled exclusion zone.
Are these expander barriers suitable for outdoor use?
Yes. Both are made from aluminium, making them durable and corrosion-resistant. They can be used outdoors, with the 3-sided option offering more stability when set up around an area.
How easy are the barriers to set up and move?
Both models are designed to deploy and retract quickly. They fold down compactly for storage and can be easily repositioned as needed on site.
How much area can each barrier cover?
The standard barrier extends up to 3 meters in a straight line, while the 3-sided barrier covers a larger footprint with three 2.5m sections, allowing you to secure a wider or enclosed area.
