Product Details
Fortis 1.5m Crash Barrier
Where a scheme needs a steel barrier between live traffic and people on foot, and filling or ballasting units on site is not practical, the Fortis 1.5m Crash Barrier is a self-weighted steel system designed to work without water or ballast. The curved profile is designed to redirect a vehicle back towards the carriageway on contact, and each unit carries a 1200 x 240mm reflective panel.
The barrier on its own is 443mm high. Buyers who need a taller run add mesh: the Mini Mesh Panel takes total height to 1007mm and the Large Mesh Panel to 2003mm. Mesh panels, corner pieces, end pieces and gates are sold separately.
It is supplied in red or white powder coated steel and has been independently wind tested by MIRA to Category A. For project quantities, mixed orders or a specified test level, speak to our sales team before ordering.
Key Features
- Self-weighted steel system: Designed to work without water or ballast, so there is nothing to fill, drain or dispose of. It is a self-weighted alternative to water-filled plastic barriers.
- 1500mm working length: Plan runs in 1.5m steps. Total unit length is 1584mm.
- 443mm height, extendable with mesh: The barrier alone is a low-profile unit. Mesh panels add height to suit the run.
- 58kg per unit: A two person team can deploy it without heavy lifting machinery. Three units fit on a pallet and 144 on a full load. Follow your manual handling assessment.
- 1200 x 240mm reflective panel: Gives approaching traffic a reflective surface on the barrier face.
- Wind tested to Category A: Independently wind tested by MIRA to Category A. Calculated wind speed is 76.8mph for the barrier alone and lower once mesh is fitted, so confirm exposed locations with our team.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What else do I need to order with the Fortis 1.5m Crash Barrier?
A: The barrier is supplied on its own at 443mm high. Add Mini Mesh or Large Mesh panels for height, corner pieces for changes of direction, end pieces to finish a run and gates for access. All of these are part of the Fortis Barrier range, and our team can confirm the pieces for your layout before you order.
Q: Does it need water or ballast?
A: It is a self-weighted steel system designed to work without water or ballast. Install it on a flat, level surface. Extra ballast may be required in unsupported areas such as gates. For slopes, exposed sites or high wind, confirm requirements with our team before ordering.
Q: How high is it, and how do I make a taller run?
A: The barrier alone is 443mm high. A Mini Mesh Panel takes total height to 1007mm and a Large Mesh Panel to 2003mm. Mesh adds wind loading, so check your site conditions with our team.
