Walkthrough Gated Barrier Fixed Leg – Blue

What is a blue gated walkthrough used for?

Blue is often used to identify water, utility and subterranean works, so blue gated walkthroughs commonly give crews controlled entry to those compounds. The gate closes after each person, keeping the works enclosed. Follow your own site colour plan.

Does the gate keep the public out of street works?

The self-closing gate keeps the works enclosed so people stay on the footway, but it isn't locked. Use it alongside signage, supervision and your traffic management layout, and check any scheme requirements, including Chapter 8 where it applies.

Can I place it next to an open trench?

Keep the gate and its swing area well back from excavation edges. Where the route crosses disturbed ground, lay a trench cover or firm walking surface, as the gate controls entry but doesn't protect the excavation.

Will the gate close properly on rough ground?

It closes reliably when the frame stands on compacted, level ground. On uneven surfaces, level the base first and add ballast so the gate hangs true and doesn't drag.

How is it different from the open blue walkthrough?

Both use the same 2300mm by 2100mm fixed leg frame. The gated version adds a spring-loaded self-closing gate and weighs 19kg, against 12kg for the open frame.

Which barriers does it connect to?

It uses hook and eye connectors, matching our HD Blue and Hybrid pedestrian barriers. Barriers with wrap around connectors may not join securely, so check the connector type on your run.

Can barrows and trolleys get through the gate?

The gate has to be pushed and held open, which can be awkward with barrows and trolleys. Where materials move regularly, the open blue walkthrough or a separate materials route may work better.

Is hire available for this barrier?

Hire enquiries may be considered where the minimum hire period is 12 weeks. Hire is arranged through our sales team only.
