Plastic pedestrian barricades
More than just a pedestrian barricade
At festivals, stadiums, construction sites and more, these innovative barricades create clear delineation and serve as an attractive advertising platform. Our customers rave about how easy our crowd barricades are to set up and store. They also love the personal attention we offer and our quick delivery time.
Built for Durability
Billboard Barricades are made of High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), a superior grade of plastic known for its strength and durability. Our HDPE is UV-resistant, has high impact and melt strength and resists stress cracks. This means our crowd control barriers will stand up to weather, transport, and crowds. The highly durable feet won't bend like steel and don't require rubber pads for floor protection.
Visibility
In contrast to steel, OTW pedestrian barricades are brightly colored and attractive. We stock a variety of standard colors including red, safety orange, yellow, green, blue, and silver. We also offer premium colors - white, black and purple - and take custom orders. We can match nearly any Pantone color swatch.
Safety Delineation
The unique design of OTW crowd barricades allows them to interlock, forming a continuous wall. They can be set up in various configurations to create VIP spaces and delineate restricted areas. They can be bolted together for additional stability and security.
Optional Signage
Advertising or directional messaging is easy with the Billboard Barricade. Many of our clients are able to generate additional revenue by selling ad space. We print graphics on high-quality material that can stand up to weather just as well as our crowd barricades do. Signs are 28.5 in x 36 in and are easily attached with four bolts.
Easy Set-up and Storage
Support feet twist flush allowing our plastic crowd control barriers to stack flat for easy storage and efficient transport. Each barricade weighs 33 pounds empty and can be ballasted with water increasing weight to 58 pounds. For extra ballast without water, the 18 lb Crowd Control Hanging Weight slides on tool-free-ideal for one-person repositioning or indoor venues and finished floors.
