Concertina Barrier
Foldable access control for flexible site safety
The Concertina Barrier is a heavy-duty foldable system designed for pedestrian management, crowd control, and hazard isolation. Manufactured from lightweight powder-coated aluminium, it combines strength with portability, making it easy to deploy, reposition, and store in areas where space is limited.
Each unit extends up to 2m or 4m, with heights available in 1.3m or 1.8m, and collapses to under 1m for compact storage. Locking wheels provide stability, while a clip-and-lock mechanism enables multiple barriers to be linked together for extended coverage. Powder-coated in red or yellow for visibility, the barrier is a reliable choice for both indoor and outdoor use.
Trusted in high-traffic environments such as the London Underground, airports, and stadiums, the Concertina Barrier delivers quick, adaptable control wherever temporary access restriction is needed. Its foldable profile and integrated wheels allow safe movement and rapid response without the bulk of fixed systems.
