The double metal foot attaches to bar pedestrian barriers and provides a wider, flat contact surface that reduces trip hazard compared with standard domed barrier feet. Bar barriers use a domed base that creates a raised profile at foot level. The flat double metal foot reduces that profile, making it the right choice for deployments in high footfall areas, smooth surfaces, and indoor venues where minimising trip risk is a priority.
The foot is compatible with the standard 2.3m bar barrier, and also with the Fixed Leg and HD Fixed Leg barrier ranges. Pre galvanised carbon steel construction at 1.8kg per unit makes it a lightweight option that adds a stable flat base without the weight of a separate ballast unit. Where deployments combine metal feet and ballast, both accessories are available from the same source. Altrad Generation branch teams can advise on the right configuration for a specific site layout.
For site managers and event organisers specifying pedestrian barriers and crowd control barriers for hard surfaces, the double metal foot can be added to a barrier hire package from Altrad Generation. A foot per barrier provides consistent, predictable stability and reduces trip risk, without the logistics of handling, filling, and positioning individual ballast weights. Contact your nearest Altrad Generation branch to add double metal feet to your barrier hire package or discuss purchase options.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What is a double metal foot for pedestrian barriers?
A. A double metal foot is a flat base attachment for bar and fixed leg pedestrian barriers. It attaches to the barrier base and provides a wider, flat contact surface that reduces the trip hazard associated with standard domed barrier feet. The right choice for smooth surfaces where minimising trip risk is a priority, such as concourses, indoor venues, and event flooring.
Q. Which barriers is the double metal foot compatible with?
A. The double metal foot is compatible with the standard 2.3m bar barrier (368008), the 2.3m Fixed Leg Barrier range (368009, 368012, 368013), and the HD Fixed Leg Barrier range (368050, 368051, 368555).
Q. Does a metal foot eliminate the need for ballast?
A. In most standard deployments on hard surfaces, a metal foot per barrier provides sufficient stability and reduces trip hazard. In high wind exposure conditions, or where crowd control barriers face sustained crowd pressure, consider adding ballast alongside the metal feet. Altrad Generation branch teams can advise on the right combination for your site conditions.
