The HD 2.3m Fixed Leg Bar Pedestrian Barrier is the advanced option in Altrad Generation's fixed leg range. Built using smartweld technology for improved longevity, it features a strengthening bar between the legs to prevent them splaying under sustained crowd pressure. That is the failure mode that can occur with standard fixed leg barriers in high density crowd environments. Two locking hooks per barrier prevent unauthorised dismantling of the crowd control barrier line.
Where the Eco and Standard Fixed Leg variants are appropriate for general event and site applications, the HD is the right specification where crowd density is high, where sustained lateral pressure from crowd movement is anticipated, or where preventing barrier tampering is a security requirement. For temporary barriers and pedestrian barriers used at concerts, large outdoor events, and high density public gatherings, the locking hooks and strengthening bar make a meaningful difference to how the barrier line performs.
The HD Fixed Leg is available in galvanised, red, and white finishes and is compatible with the Walk Through Barrier for managed access points in the barrier line. You can deploy HD barriers alongside Standard or Eco temporary barriers in the same configuration, which lets you match the specification to crowd pressure at different points in the deployment. Contact your nearest Altrad Generation branch to discuss specification for your event or site.
Key Features and Benefits
Smartweld Technology: Improved joint strength and longevity through smartweld manufacturing. Designed for demanding environments and extended service life.
Strengthening Bar Between Legs: Prevents the fixed legs from splaying under sustained lateral crowd pressure. A key structural difference from the Eco and Standard variants.
Two Locking Hooks: Dual locking hook connection per barrier prevents unauthorised dismantling of the barrier line.
Domed Feet for Crush Resistance: Fixed feet have a domed finish. Crush resistant and safer if the barrier is pushed over.
Multiple Finishes: Available in galvanised, red, and white powder coat finishes.
Compatible with Walk Through Barrier: Accepts the 2.3m Fixed Leg Walk Through Barrier for managed access points.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What is the difference between the HD and standard fixed leg barrier?
A. The HD uses smartweld technology for improved longevity, a strengthening bar between the legs to resist splaying under lateral crowd pressure, and two locking hooks that prevent unauthorised dismantling. The Standard Fixed Leg uses two standard hooks without the locking mechanism and does not have the strengthening bar. Specify the HD where crowd pressure, tamper resistance, or extended service life requirements make the additional features worthwhile.
Q. Is the HD barrier suitable for concerts and high density events?
A. Yes. The HD Fixed Leg Barrier is a strong specification for high density events. The strengthening bar between the legs resists the splaying failure mode that can occur under sustained crowd pressure, and the two locking hooks add a tamper resistant element to the barrier line. Contact your nearest branch to discuss quantities and configuration for your event.
Q. Can I deploy HD barriers alongside standard fixed leg barriers in the same configuration?
A. Yes. HD barriers use the same fixed leg connection system as the Eco and Standard variants, which means they integrate into the same barrier line. A common approach is to deploy HD barriers at high pressure points such as stage fronts or crowd convergence zones and use standard variants elsewhere. That matches the specification to the crowd pressure at each section of the deployment.
