What is a Safety Barrier?
A safety barrier is a physical structure that blocks or channelises the flow of traffic to a specific route or roadway. It aids in traffic control; pedestrian or otherwise and is used by the law enforcement agencies like police and traffic management services to manage the flow of traffic along a particular route.
What is an Expandable Barrier?
An Expandable Barrier is a barrier the length of which can be extended to adapt to cover a given area. The flexibility and portability offered by the expandable barrier makes it extremely useful in almost all situations where traffic management is a problem.

Type of Verge Expandable Barriers and Features
The expandable barriers offered by Verge come in various sizes and have a different set of features associated with each one. Let us take a look at the various type of expandable barriers available with Verge:
GV501 – 3M Expandable Barrier
This 3-metre barrier is the ideal solution to block access to areas that are unsafe or unauthorised such as staircase, walkways, construction sites, or elevators. The slats for the GV501 barriers are made of extruded aluminium with feet moulded from ABS plastic to protect floors and avoid slippage.
The bolts on the flank can be attached to another barrier to achieve a joint at any angle and thus expand the length of the barrier. The barriers are durable and have a powder-coated finish to keep the surface smooth and corrosion free.

GV502 – 5M Expandable Barrier
GV502 is a 5-metre barrier that can be used to block access to temporary exclusion zones in addition to other areas where traffic needs to be managed. Made up entirely of extruded aluminium and bottom feet of ABS plastic, GV502 is extremely durable and can take a lot of abuse.
A printable sign bracket is also available with the barrier. It also has a built-in handle that aids in better handling and portability as well as attaching the barrier to another barrier at any desired angle.

These barriers are also made of extruded aluminium and have castors fixed to their base to aid and mobility and transfer of barriers from one place to another quickly. Like their counterparts, GV503 barriers are also powder coated to keep them free from corrosion.

GV504 – 5M Expandable Barrier
A GV504 barrier, unlike its cousins, is a wall-mounted expandable barrier that is 5 metre in length. It has brackets at either end to be attached to a wall or a post. When it is not being used to block access, the barrier can be safely folded out of the way against the wall. This barrier has a lockable castor fitted on the expandable end of the barrier and there is a support wheel fitted to the middle of the barrier to support the frame and for extra rigidity and durability.

When it is not being used to block access, the barrier can be safely folded out of the way against the wall. This barrier has a lockable castor fitted on the expandable end of the barrier and there are three support wheels fitted to the middle of the barrier as against one in GV504 to support the frame and for extra rigidity and durability.

GV506 – 2.5M Plastic Expandable Barrier
At 2.5 metres long, GV506 is perhaps the most unique expandable barrier in our collection. It is made entirely of plastic and is used in areas where light traffic needs to be regulated or denied access to certain areas. It is extremely lightweight and has two circle handles for carrying it. If required, the legs on both far ends can be filled with 6 kg of water to add weight to the barrier and make it steady. It is very easy to assemble and can be easily put together at a moment’s notice. The slats on the barrier have reflective stripes for greater visibility.

Rotating Expandable Safety Barriers
Rotating expandable barriers are, as the name suggests, barriers that can rotate in all directions.
Rotating expandable safety barriers have an excellent feature over and above the regular expandable barriers. While the latter expand straight in one direction, the rotating barriers rotate 180 degrees and therefore are great for situations where you need to quickly improvise or block or open access to pathways in all 4 directions.
These barriers are ideal for creating a safe environment in loading areas by controlling the vehicle and pedestrian access. They can be used to block and then open access to vehicles after necessary checks. Their unique rotating design allows the barrier to completely move aside from the vehicle’s path and not intrude into it.
