Steel crowd control barricades from China,
built to your spec

Most people call them bike rack barricades. You will also hear police barricades, French barriers, interlocking steel barricades, metal barricades and crowd control barriers. They all mean a steel frame with upright bars, hooked end to end into a line. A Type III barricade is something else: a road barricade with reflective boards, used for traffic work.

Flat feet lie flat on the ground and are the usual choice on a street or a plaza. Bridge feet arch up in the middle, so a cable or a hose can run under the line without lifting it. Many fleets keep both. Tell us how many of each you want, and whether corners or gates need something different.

Hot-dip galvanizing dips the finished, welded frame in molten zinc, so the welds and the joints are coated too. Pre-galvanized frames are welded from tube that was coated before it was cut, so the welds need a touch-up. Powder coat gives the frame a colour, and over galvanizing there is still zinc under the paint where it chips. Which suits you depends on how hard the frames are used and whether you want a colour.

The frame's length and height, the tube's diameter and wall, the upright bars (their diameter, and the spacing or how many), the feet and how many of each, the hook and loop, the finish and colour, any plates or gate frames, the quantity, and where they ship. If the new frames have to match barricades you own, send a photo and the measurements of one.

They can, if they are specified to match. Send a photo of the hook and the loop, how high each sits on the end upright, the frame's height and the tube's size, and we specify the new frames to hook into your line. Frames from different makers often do not fit each other, so we ask before the order rather than after.

Yes, if the order says so. Powder coat comes in the colour you choose, and frames can be coloured by owner, venue or zone. A plate on the frame can carry your name, a phone number or a fleet number, so frames that go out to events come back to the right yard.

The frames are stacked flat and banded into bundles, with the feet and fittings boxed beside them. How many fit depends on your exact frame and feet, so the factory works out a packing plan for your design and you get the count in writing before you commit. A container fills on space and weight together, and at your end it needs a forklift or a dock to unload.

The factory price, set mostly by the steel, the finish and the feet; inland freight to the port in China; ocean freight; the customs entry and the broker; and delivery from the port to your yard. The quote puts each on its own line, and the landed cost calculator on this site adds them up for any shipment.

A licensed customs broker files the entry. Before the order ships, we have the broker confirm the charges on your exact design, and the quote shows them on their own line, so the landing is priced before you commit.

We check the frames at the factory before they are packed: the welds at every upright bar, zinc or paint over the joints, two frames hooked together to prove the fit, the feet, and the count against the packing list. You can also ask for photographs of the bundles and the loaded container before it is sealed.
