MASS Safety Barriers

Maltaward MASS safety barriers are 1.5m long and 0.5m at the widest point. On its own, the base unit is 0.42m tall, although various panels and fence elements can be integrated to the top to increase the maximum height. The weight of an individual base unit is 48kg.

Base units connect to each other using vertical pins, with anchors at either end of the chain. The pins allow for units to be rotated by 180° so that barriers can be formed into curved or angular layouts.

Yes, they are ideal for roadside use and act as a robust barrier between pedestrian areas and vehicles. Should a vehicle mount the base of the unit, the flared base will deflect the wheels and cause it to safely roll off, protecting pedestrians and drivers without affecting the stability or integrity of the fence.

The high visibility paint makes MASS barriers better suited to roadside use than plain alternatives, and the units do not need to be drilled or fixed into the road.

Yes. The stability of MASS barriers is created from a steel buffer that is anchored with sandbags, making each unit much more portable than concrete blocks. Dismantling and repositioning are straightforward, allowing you to set up, transport and adjust entire barriers with little disruption to a busy site or high-traffic area.

We provide four types of panels that can be mounted to the top of your MASS base unit for additional security. More information about each type can be found in the sections above, and you can contact us if you require specific information about any of the fence specifications.

The most appropriate type of barrier will depend on the nature of your site and the type of traffic you expect around your barriers.

In general, our clients choose MASS Pedestrian Guard and MASS Visirail Guard units when their main concern is creating a safe barrier between pedestrians and vehicles. MASS Siteguard fencing and MASS Screenguard panels are more appropriate for preventing unauthorised access into a specific area or to obscure visibility of expensive equipment.

These are a highly popular product and we typically have a complete range of MASS base units and upper fencing elements available for immediate client use. If you require a versatile barrier solution urgently, get in touch and we will arrange for one of our teams to deliver as soon as possible.
