Bison 800 Barriers are a new addition to SafeSite Facilities’ range of traffic safety solutions.
Here are 10 reasons you should consider Bison 800 Barriers for traffic management on your site:
- This new edition bridges the gap between other barriers in the Bison range and its size (2000mm x 350mm x 800mm) makes it perfectly suited for cost-effective demarcation and delineation of traffic around sites.
- Bison 800 Barriers come with a red and white chevron reflective strip as standard, making them compliant with Chapter 8 standards, which form part of the official red book of highway codes and regulations in the Traffic Signs Manual, issued by the Department for Transport. This code of practice has been developed to direct and manage traffic safely to protect vehicle users and pedestrians. The barriers themselves are available in either red or white as standard.
- The Bison 800 Barrier can pivot 90 degrees meaning that they can be installed to create right angle bends and navigate corners, without requiring additional attachments like other barriers on the market.
- The unique design of the Bison 800 Barrier makes them easy to stack. This is due to the bottom forklift slots doubling up as interlocking grooves, so that barriers can be slotted together. Nine barriers can be stacked to fit on a double pallet. 108 barriers will fit on an artic lorry.
- Mesh fencing and hoarding panels can be integrated with the Bison 800 Barrier to provide enhanced protection of site perimeters. No additional parts are required and multi-size steel powder-coated panels can be slotted in quickly and easily to transform the Bison 800 from a standalone safety barrier to a robust security solution. Fencing and hoarding panels can also be used to display corporate branding, site signage and safety information.
- The Bison 800 Barrier can also be integrated with pedestrian and vehicle gates to improve access control. The gates, which are made from galvanised steel, are weather-proof and suitable for outdoor use due to their durability. They are fixed to the Bison 800 Barrier using heavy duty couplers, and positioned in two heavy-weight thermoplastic rubber feet for added stability.
- Due to their size and weight (21kg when empty) Bison 800 Barriers are easy to position and configure yet provide a solid safety solution when filled.
- The Bison 800 water-filled Barrier acts as firm footing, providing good wind resistance when fitted with fencing or hoarding panels, compared to stand alone temporary solutions. As a single unit the Bison 800 Barrier can withstand wind speeds of up to 73mph, or up to 63mph with a mesh fence panel added.
- Custom paint schemes and personalised livery options are available on the fencing and hoarding panels to meet corporate requirements.
- Bison 800 Barriers are made from High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) and are fully recyclable.
