Expandable Pedestrian Barriers in NZ

Versatile Expandable Pedestrian Barriers

These barriers offer an affordable and practical solution for maintaining health and safety compliance across a wide range of environments. 

(Refer to WorkSafe guidance here.)

This barrier system is designed to restrict public access in areas where entry must be controlled for security or safety purposes. Crafted from strong aluminium square tubing in a concertina-style layout, each unit stands 1.5m or 2.0m high and features smooth-rolling castor wheels for effortless movement.

The Rollerguard Barrier is installed so that one end remains anchored in place, while the other end secures with a steel drop latch (supplied with every unit) that can be padlocked for added control. Commonly installed across workshop and roller door openings, these expandable barriers are also popular for temporary or semi-permanent cordons. Each barrier can be powder-coated in your preferred colour, offering both visibility and aesthetic consistency. Use our handy self-measure order form here.

For added flexibility, trolley systems with interlocking options can be incorporated when complete mobility is required.
