The RB2000 Barrier is a heavy-duty water filled road barrier designed for urban areas where site perimeter security and public safety near live traffic are both critical. At 1m high and manufactured from UV-stabilised prime polyethylene, the RB2000 weighs up to 400kg when filled with 365 litres of water, creating a solid, flat-walled system suited to demanding construction site and roadside applications. MIRA wind speed tested to 72mph when water-filled, it provides verified performance for exposed environments.
The RB2000 features a five-position unlocking mechanism that allows the barrier to navigate corners and uneven surfaces with precision. Anti-trip front and end stops eliminate ground-level hazards, which is a requirement on urban roads where pedestrian traffic and the workforce share the same perimeter. The barrier is fully stackable and requires no heavy machinery to load, unload, or assemble.
For sites requiring greater height or controlled access, anti-climb mesh and Hoarding Panels extend the RB2000 to 2m. The barrier is also compatible with Infill Panels, Pedestrian Gates, and Vehicle Gates, and integrates with the RB system for a complete construction site barrier and Traffic Management solution.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How heavy is the RB2000 Barrier when filled?
A. The RB2000 Barrier holds 365 litres of water and weighs up to 400kg when fully filled. This filled weight, combined with a flat-walled design, creates a solid containment system for heavy urban traffic environments. The five-position unlocking mechanism allows the barrier to follow corners and uneven road surfaces accurately, which is important on urban sites where the carriageway may not be level and the barrier line must maintain contact with the ground throughout.
Q. Can the RB2000 Barrier be used with pedestrian and vehicle gates?
A. Yes. The RB2000 is compatible with Infill Panels, Pedestrian Gates, and Vehicle Gates, and integrates fully with the RB barrier system. Anti-climb mesh and hoarding panels attach to increase the perimeter height to 2m. This compatibility means the RB2000 works as a complete site perimeter solution: the barrier provides the base containment, and gates and toppings manage access and security within the same system, which reduces the need for separate barrier types on a single project.
Q. Is the RB2000 a Chapter 8 compliant barrier?
A. Yes. The RB2000 Barrier is Chapter 8 compliant and manufactured from UV-stabilised prime polyethylene for long-term outdoor performance. The anti-trip front and end stops are designed specifically to eliminate ground-level hazards on public-facing urban roads, addressing a key safety requirement for street works projects. For safety officers and procurement leads specifying barriers for use adjacent to pedestrians on public roads, the Chapter 8 compliance status and anti-trip design together demonstrate the RB2000 meets the relevant temporary traffic management standards.
