Four Types of Barrier in This Range
- Crash-tested barriers: Defender 50, The Shield Barrier and RB22, for works next to live traffic where a test standard is specified.
- Heavy water-filled barriers: RB2000, Nexus, GB2, City Wall, Bison and Site Wall, for site perimeters, compounds and delineation.
- Compact water-filled barriers: Evo, EvoGator, Hog 600, 1m Pyramid and Novus, for pedestrian segregation and access control.
- Chapter 8 plastic barriers: the orange Chapter 8 Barrier 2m and the Utility Barrier, for pedestrian demarcation around works.
The range also includes water-filled bases for temporary fence panels. The ROTA Slot and the Slot Block each give 320kg of ballast per 3.5m panel once filled, with no separate fence feet needed.
Crash Test Information by Product
Only some barriers here state a crash test, and the details differ. The table shows what each product page or our 2026 catalogue states.
| Barrier | Stated rating | Source | Size and weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| Defender 50 | BS EN 1317 N1, impact speeds up to 50mph, impact severity level A | Product page and catalogue | 800mm high, 400 litre capacity, 40kg empty |
| The Shield Barrier | ASI A impact severity, W8 working width; BS EN 1317 N1 at 50mph, tested by Horiba Mira | Product page; catalogue | 2m long, 800mm high, 60kg empty, 390kg filled |
| RB22 | Listed as BS EN 1317 | Catalogue | 2000mm long, 800mm high, 60kg empty, 600kg filled |
The other barriers in this category do not state a crash test. Treat them as delineation and segregation barriers, and confirm the required standard with your scheme designer before ordering for carriageway works.

RB22 and GB2 mesh panels are 1400mm high, the RB2000 mesh is 1200mm high, the Evo mini mesh adds 790mm and the Pyramid mesh adds 800mm. RB22 runs also use angles, ends, steel pins and galvanised base plates, and RB2000 runs use front and end stops. The Nexus Mesh Panel is in Chapter 8 & Waterfilled Barriers Accessories.
