Steel Highway Barriers For Hire 

HighwayGuard MASH TL3 and MASH TL4 steel road safety barriers are engineered to provide maximum protection in high-risk traffic environments. Typically, steel barriers are primarily used to:

  • Separate work zones from live traffic
  • Prevent vehicle intrusion into construction areas
  • Redirect errant vehicles safely
  • Create temporary road diversions

The HighwayGuard system offers several advantages over traditional concrete barriers:

  • Lightweight design for easier transport and installation
  • Minimal deflection, allowing for use in space-constrained areas
  • Quick and simple connection system for rapid deployment
  • Galvanised steel construction for durability and longevity
  • Smooth profile to reduce vehicle damage upon impact
  • Compatibility with various end treatments and crash cushions

These features make the HighwayGuard steel road safety barrier an excellent choice for both short-term and long-term traffic management solutions, ensuring the safety of all road users.

HighwayGuard Engineering Explained

Comparison Of Barrier Types

Each barrier type – water-filled, steel, and HighwayGuard – has its own advantages.

Water-filled barriers are great for low-speed areas, events, and smaller budgets.

Steel barriers are quick and easy to set up and work well in mid to high-speed zones, depending on the model. They offer top-notch protection with a 13 cm deflection (using the MDS system), ensuring safety on both sides of the barrier.

HighwayGuard barriers are perfect for high-speed zones. They offer the highest protection rating, cost savings, and come with an optional wheelset for easy movement.
