Standard, Heavy Duty, Hybrid, Hawk or Infinity: Choosing the Right Securasite Pedestrian Barrier
Barrier Buying Guide 2026
Standard, Heavy Duty, Hybrid, Hawk or Infinity: Choosing the Right Securasite Pedestrian Barrier
Securasite manufactures five separate pedestrian barrier lines, not five versions of the same barrier. Each one solves a different job: connecting into an existing fleet, standing up to heavy daily handling, or cutting down on the one weld point that tends to fail first. This guide walks through the decisions that actually separate the range, connector type, insert gauge, colour options and footing, so you can match the right barrier to your site rather than choosing by price alone.

Short answer
Choose based on four things: connector type (wrap-around, hook and eye, loose foot or no-weld), insert gauge (5mm or 12mm), colour needs (a 9-finish range plus Bespoke RAL, or Hawk's 2-finish choice), and footing (built in on Standard, HD and Hybrid; bought separately for Hawk and Infinity, two footings per barrier). Get these four right and the product choice follows.
The core decision factors
Before naming a single product, four things separate every barrier in Securasite's range. Get these right first and the choice between Standard, HD, Hybrid, Hawk and Infinity becomes straightforward.
Manufactured, not just supplied: Securasite manufactures its own barrier range at its West Midlands facility, using a combination of autonomous robot welding and a team of qualified welders. Buying direct from the manufacturer means fewer middlemen between the welding line and your site, and a UK production base that can confirm bespoke colours, name plates and project quantities without a third-party lead time.
Connector type
Standard uses a wrap-around connector. HD and Hybrid use hook and eye, so they link into the same fleet. Hawk uses a loose foot assembly. Infinity uses a no-weld bottom rail with fixed scalloped feet.
Insert gauge
5mm wire on Standard and Hybrid. 12mm on HD. Hawk lets you pick either on the same product page. Infinity's strength comes from removing the bottom rail weld rather than a stated insert gauge.
Colour range
Standard, HD, Hybrid and Infinity all offer nine finishes: galvanised, seven powder coat colours, and Bespoke RAL with a live on-page preview. Hawk is the exception, offered in galvanised or Bespoke RAL only.
Footing
Standard, HD and Hybrid stand on their own built-in feet. Hawk and Infinity both need the Flat Footing, two per barrier, sold separately at £6.90 each.
Footing: built in or bought separately
This is the detail that catches out most first-time buyers of Hawk or Infinity. Every barrier in the range needs to stand on something, but only two lines require you to order that separately.
Built-In Footing
- Standard, HD and Hybrid all ship ready to stand
- Nothing extra to order or forget
- One line item per barrier on your purchase order
- Simpler for one-off orders and smaller quantities
Applies to: Standard Pedestrian Barrier, HD Pedestrian Barrier, Hybrid Pedestrian Barrier.
Separate Footing Required
- Hawk and Infinity both use the same Flat Footing
- Two footings needed per barrier, £6.90 each
- Frame and footing ship as separate parts
- Easy to miss on a first-time order, add it to the same basket
Applies to: Hawk Pedestrian Barrier, Infinity Pedestrian Barrier. View Flat Footing →

Which pedestrian barrier do you need?
The right answer depends on your fleet, your budget and how the barrier will be handled day to day. These are the scenarios we see most often from UK site managers, contractors and hire companies.
Hire fleet standardisation
HD Pedestrian Barrier
Hook and eye · 12mm
The widest-compatible baseline in the range. Every other hook and eye barrier links into it without adapters.
View HD range →
High-turnover hire fleets
Infinity Pedestrian Barrier
No-weld rail · 12kg
Removes the bottom rail weld, the point most likely to fail under repeated handling. Worth the premium over heavy use.
View product →
Budget-conscious civil site
Standard Pedestrian Barrier
Wrap-around · 5mm
The lowest entry cost in the range, with no compatibility requirement to plan around.
View range →
Expanding existing HD stock
Hybrid Pedestrian Barrier

Common buying mistakes
Ordering Hawk or Infinity without the Flat Footing
Fix: Neither barrier stands without it, and you need two per unit. Add it to the same order.
Assuming every barrier shares one connector
Fix: Standard's wrap-around doesn't link into an HD hook and eye fleet. Hybrid does.
Mixing Infinity into a hook and eye fleet unchecked
Fix: Connector compatibility with the HD range isn't confirmed for Infinity. Check with our team first, even though Hawk is confirmed compatible.
Choosing by price alone
Fix: A cheaper Standard barrier on a site that needs the 12mm insert's handling tolerance costs more in replacements than the HD upgrade would have.
Forgetting the stillage
Fix: Any quantity beyond a handful benefits from a stillage for stacking, forklift transport and storage between uses.
Leaving bespoke colours to the last minute
Fix: Bespoke RAL and name plates are made to order. Confirm turnaround with our team ahead of event or project dates.

Frequently asked questions
Only for Hawk and Infinity. Standard, HD and Hybrid all stand on their own built-in feet, nothing extra to add to the order.
Yes. Hybrid uses the same hook and eye connector as HD, so it links in directly without adapters or separate clips.
Hawk gives you a Standard or Heavy Duty insert choice on one page with a loose foot assembly. Infinity removes the bottom rail weld entirely and has fixed scalloped feet. They're separate design approaches, not tiers of the same product.
The Standard Pedestrian Barrier in galvanised finish, from £18.50 excl. VAT.
Its main advantage, fewer weld failure points, pays off most over repeated handling. For a single short-term project, HD or Hybrid is often the more cost-effective choice.
Standard, HD, Hybrid and Infinity all offer Bespoke RAL. Hawk offers galvanised or Bespoke RAL only, no standard powder coat colours.
Yes. Each colour is a separate SKU, so you can order any combination across Standard, HD, Hybrid or Infinity to support colour-coded site zoning.
Hire enquiries are considered with a 12-week minimum, arranged through the sales team only. Call 0330 056 4420 or email sales@securasite.co.uk to confirm current availability and quantities.
