NOT DESIGNED for pedestrian use or any other use. It is important to ensure an
alternative access route is available for pedestrians and other site users who are not in a
motorised vehicle. Signage is recommended to try and prevent misuse.

MECHANICAL ADJUSTMENTS
HINGE ADJUSTMENT
The position of the barrier leaf may be adjusted via the barrier
hinges. Though different types of hinges are utilised between
the standard and heavy duty barriers, both are held and
adjusted by two nuts; these nuts are openly accessible on a
standard barrier leaf on the
vertical stanchion.
On the heavy duty barriers these
nuts are located on the hinge
post with one mounted externally
and the other internally; to
access the internal nut you must
first remove the cover plate on
the side of the barrier hinge post,
once inside the hinge may be adjusted in exactly the same
fashion as the standard barriers.
COMMISSIONING
It is preferable that both the installation and commissioning take place when expected through
traffic is at a minimum to avoid disruption.

BARRIER
ARRIER
For ease of transportation, posts and barrier are despatched separately and should be
erected individually starting with the main barrier hinge post.
Steel packing pieces of various thicknesses should be available to place under the base
plate for levelling purposes. Check that the post is dimensionally positioned correctly with
reference to its closing post, which should be erected in a similar manner. (In the case of a
pair of barriers, check the centre distance between both posts). Ensure that all posts are
vertical before final bolting down.
Barrier Post
::
:
Using a 16mm heavy duty masonry drill bit in a suitable percussion drill, drill through the
four base plate holes to a depth of 180mm taking care to keep the hole free from
excessive dust. The 16mm x 160 long expansion bolts can now be hammered into the
prepared holes, keeping the nuts in the extreme upper position.
Closee// Catch Posts:: :
Using a 12 mm heavy duty masonry drill bit in a suitable percussion drill, drill through the
four base plate holes to a depth of 170mm taking care to keep the hole free from
excessive dust. The M12 mm x 150 long expansion bolts can now be hammered into
the prepared holes, keeping the nuts in the extreme upper position. Tighten down all
foundation bolts
Barrier Leaf:
Suspend the barrier in a vertical attitude from the crane, or forklift truck, and lower the
barrier into position locating the hinge pins into their hinges.
Once the barrier has been suspended on its hinges, it is necessary to check it for being
horizontal by using a spirit level on the top rail. Any corrections can be carried out at this
stage, both in the open and closed position by careful adjustments to the packing under
the support post base plate, or adjusting the rod eye hinge bearings.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Ensure that the barrier is safely supported whilst this is being carried out. Once
satisfied that the barrier is hanging correctly, float self-levelling grouting material
under the base plate and finally backfill the foundation cavity with concrete to the
finished road or footpath level as required. If felt desirable, the concrete can be left
50mm below finished level and topped with tarmac or similar to match existing
surface.

INSTALLATIONINSTALLATION
FOUNDATION
If details of the base have not
been specified, we recommend
a concrete mix to BS EN 206-
1:2000 “Concrete specification,
Performance, Production and
Conformity” to type C32/40,
which is equally suitable for
external and internal
environments. Alternative types
of base construction may be
acceptable, subject to
discussions with our Contract
Engineering Department. It is
not
notnot
not necessary to pre-drill the
base to receive the equipment;
the drilling is carried out when
the equipment is erected. We
recommend a minimum of 7 to
10 days for the concrete to cure,
depending on climate. This time
can be reduced if additive
agents are used.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
IMPORTANT NOTE:IMPORTANT NOTE:
IMPORTANT NOTE:
All bases must be at the same level.
Careful consideration should be made when deciding the location of the barrier to
avoid obstructions such as power cables, telephone cables, trees and similar likely
constructions.
Accessibility around the whole of the barrier should be maintained to a minimum of
1000mm to allow sufficient room for installation, subsequent maintenance and
operation.
IMPORTANT NOTE:

IMPORTANT NOTE:
PFL should be consulted immediately should any possible restrictions occur
