RB22 50MPH Crash Barrier: The Gold Standard in Roadside Safety
The RB22 is widely recognized as the "Highest Approved Plastic Barrier" on the UK Highways list. Unlike standard water-filled separators, the RB22 is a fully certified restraint system designed to bring errant vehicles to a controlled stop.
Its immense 600kg filled weight and TRL-certified crash rating make it the primary choice for high-speed roadworks, contraflows, and heavy-duty site protection where life safety is the top priority.
Features
- TRL Crash Certified: Fully tested to BS EN1317 - N1, meaning it is proven to safely contain and deflect vehicle impacts at speeds up to 50 mph (80 kph).
- Exceptional Stability: Weighing over half a tonne (600kg) when full, the RB22 offers unsurpassed stability. It is MIRA-tested to withstand wind speeds of up to 78 mph (Class A) without failure.
- Steel Pin & Plate Connection: Units are linked using a robust steel pin hinge system and reinforced by two flat steel side plates, creating a rigid, gap-free safety wall that won't shift on impact.
- Rapid, Tool-Free Setup: Despite its heavy-duty performance, the 60kg empty units can be positioned by two people. No cranes or heavy machinery are required for deployment.
- High-Capacity Design: Holds 540 litres of water, providing the mass necessary to absorb kinetic energy during a collision.
- Modular Extensions: Pre-moulded sockets allow for the easy addition of anti-climb mesh or hoarding panels, extending the security height to over 2 meters.
Applications
- High-Speed Highways: Protecting workers and motorists during active motorway maintenance and lane shifts.
- Live Traffic Zones: Creating safe corridors for pedestrians in busy urban environments.
- Infrastructure Projects: High-security perimeters for major works like HS2 or bridge repairs.
- Hazard Containment: Surrounding deep excavations or high-voltage equipment where impact protection is mandatory.
