Bison barriers give you a fast way to separate pedestrians and vehicles and protect workers from passing traffic wherever space is tight. Like other water filled barriers, they arrive light and gain stability once filled on site. Each barrier measures 2000mm long, 1000mm high and 400mm wide, holds around 365 litres of water, and reaches 400kg once full, while the empty unit weighs just 35kg so your team can position and stack it without heavy lifting equipment.
Made from HDPE, the barrier is stackable for easy transport and storage, with an anti slide feature that keeps stacked units in place. A pin locking system connects barriers at a 90 degree angle, so you can turn corners and box off inner city sites without gaps in your line. Reflective strips are fitted as standard to meet Chapter 8 requirements, keeping your site visible to drivers and pedestrians in low light. Add a mesh or solid hoarding topping to the same barrier when your site needs extra height and security.
As water filled traffic barriers, Bison barriers hold firm in exposed and busy locations. They are tested to withstand 75mph wind speed when filled with water, making them suitable for roadworks, street works and short term events where conditions change quickly. Use them to define safe routes and protect road workers from passing traffic on roads with speeds up to 50mph, secure a construction compound perimeter, or redeploy them fast across a traffic diversion scheme. Available in red or white as standard, Bison barriers keep your site clearly marked across every application.
