The Mini Bison Barrier is a water filled road barrier designed for traffic management projects where Chapter 8 compliance and higher visibility than a standard 600mm barrier are both required, without the cost of the full-size Bison. At 70kg when water-filled, it delivers meaningful stability for construction sites, events, and public venue perimeters. A hook and eye connection system locks units together for fast, secure installation.
The Mini Bison Barrier has a 60-degree rotation capability, which exceeds the flexibility of many comparable barriers in the same class. This allows you to create curved runs, angled corners, and mixed-shape perimeters from standard units. For sites requiring greater separation height, an Anti-Climb Galvanised And Powder-Coated Mesh Topping increases the overall barrier height to 2m.
Integrated forklift slots support machine-assisted handling for efficient placement and repositioning across the site. Supplied in red and white as standard, the Mini Bison Barrier is a practical mid-range water filled barrier hire option where budget constraints apply but visibility and compliance standards cannot be compromised.
Key Features and Benefits
70kg filled weight: Provides solid stability for active traffic management sites without requiring ballast or heavy plant for initial setup
Chapter 8 compliant: Meets the reflectivity and visibility requirements for temporary traffic management on public roads
60-degree rotation: Greater angular flexibility than many comparable barriers, enabling curved layouts and tight corner configurations
Hook and eye connection: Fast, secure linking system for building continuous barrier lines without specialist fixings
Mesh topping to 2m: Anti-climb galvanised and powder-coated mesh increases the barrier to 2m overall height for enhanced perimeter security
Forklift-friendly: Integrated slots allow safe machine handling for placement and repositioning
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How much does the Mini Bison Barrier weigh when filled?
A. The Mini Bison Barrier weighs 70kg when water-filled. This weight provides stable, reliable containment for most temporary traffic management applications. The hook and eye connection system links units quickly and securely, so you build and extend barrier lines efficiently without additional fixings or tools. When empty, the barrier is manageable for repositioning before filling on site.
Q. Is the Mini Bison Barrier Chapter 8 compliant?
A. Yes. The Mini Bison Barrier is Chapter 8 compliant, meeting the reflectivity and visibility requirements for temporary traffic management on public roads. Within the Altrad Generation barrier range, the Mini Bison offers a higher visibility profile than the standard 600mm Pyramid Barrier, making it appropriate for projects where the site location or traffic speed demands a more prominent barrier presence but the budget does not extend to the full-size Bison Barrier.
Q. Can the Mini Bison Barrier height be increased?
A. Yes. An anti-climb galvanised and powder-coated mesh topping extends the Mini Bison Barrier to a total height of 2m. The forklift-friendly design supports efficient site logistics when you are working with topped barriers that require machine handling. Topped configurations are used across Traffic Management schemes, public events, and construction site perimeters where anti-climb security is required alongside the standard water filled barrier hire function.
