How to Buy Crowd Control Barricades

Used by companies and organizations, crowd control barricades are primarily set up to ensure the crowd's safety
and to maintain control during events. Follow these steps to buy barricades that will suit your needs.

Step 1
Length
Determine length. Know how much area needs to be partitioned. Two meters is the favored length because handling it is a one-man job. You can purchase a combination of lengths or you may want to consider a customized length.

Step 2
Height

Select height. Generally, crowd control barricades come in two standard heights: 43 inches (from ground to frame top) and 78 inches. When choosing, consider the possibility of someone "jumping" the barricade and pick accordingly. Shorter barricades are easier to transport.
Step 3
Material
Choose a material. Crowd control barricades are available in plastic or steel. Plastic barricades are more visible (They come in bright colors), lightweight, have more uses and last longer. Steel barricades are more stable and stackable. Galvanized steel barricades withstand corrosion and rust, making the most durable and lasting barricade.
Step 4
Hooks
Decide on a hooking mechanism. A standard F-2 hooking mechanism is recommended. Interlocking/connecting at a 40-degree angle keeps the barricades from being unhooked while in a straight line.
Step 5
Base/Feet
Pick a foot style. Flat-footed barricades are less intrusive and more durable, but they are not recommended for uneven surfaces; for those surfaces try round/bridge feet. Rubber tips work well indoors. Roller feet, the most expensive model, offer easy maneuverability.
Step 6
Gates
Get in and out. Choose between gates or openings in the crowd control barricades.
Step 7
Online
Consider buying online. Internet purchases can be cheaper and offer reliable service and post-purchase support for barricade products.
