If your road looked like this, this morning… it’s time for the Road Rock – our new traffic barrier weight.

The Road Rock is primarily designed to be a traffic barrier weight which is a ballast for our range of traffic barriers and fits the Gate, Master, Vision, Olympic and Tuff Barriers. Using two Road Rocks per barrier, or one when the barriers are in a boxed formation will make the barrier pass Class B Wind Speed Legislation (this is now mandatory in Scotland where barriers are left unattended for over 24 hours). However the Road Rock has a few surprises up its sleeve…

Huge Stability in Strong Winds

At 7.5kgs each the Road Rock can help protect you against barriers being uprooted by the winds. This can prevent damage to property and persons and potential litigation.

Wind Speed.

A minimum of 30Kg is needed for a barrier to withstand Class B Wind Speeds (17.6 m/s). At 15Kgs each, the Road Rock provides the precise weight needed, every time, to withstand these wind speeds.

Features

  • 15Kgs in Weight
  • Corporate ID can be embossed.
  • Interlocking for continuous runs.
  • Can be coloured to suit.
  • Fits all Melba Swintex Barriers.
  • Barriers pass Class B.
  • No sandbags required for Class B & C
  • Angular movement on interlocking
  • Can house a Traffic Cylinder.
  • Can double-up as a Delineator.
  • Handle for easy lifting.
  • Manufactured from 100% Recycled Material.
  • Completely recyclable.
  • Product can stack.

The Road Rock has a couple of other features as well.

The Road Rock has a nose to tail link similar to that seen on the Road Runner, this makes it possible to create a continuous run and implement the base as a delineator. A cavity within the centre of the Road Rock permits a twist-to-lock cylinder to be attached.

The Road Rock also has the ability to be embossed with a corporate logo, the design enables the base to stack, and at 15Kg in weight, the Road Rock is manufactured from 100% recycled PVC, which is also 100% recyclable.

Traffic Barriers – a weighty issue.

The Road Rock links to itself using a hook and tail connection similar to that seen on the Road Runner , this makes it possible to create a continuous run of the heavy duty linear traffic barriers.

Wind Speeds.

The original concept for the Road Rock was all down to wind. Tests had shown that a minimum of 30Kg was needed for a barrier to withstand Class B Wind Speeds (17.6 m/s). ‘Safety at Street Works and Road Works – ACOP 2015’ states that all traffic barriers in Scotland that are unattended for a period of 24 hours or more, need to be capable of withstanding winds of Class B. At 15Kgs each, the Road Rock is the first ever product which provides the precise weight needed, every time, to withstand these wind speeds
