Manta Barriers

If you need a durable, all-weather product that is crash and wind tunnel tested, as well as easy to install – look no further.

Manta barriers will last for the full lifetime of your project, whether you’re involved in street works, road or highway works, traffic management, construction sites, car parks or events.

Key Features

• Crash tested to T2 W7 levels, without the need for re-enforcement bars
• Wind-tunnel tested to current British Standards
• Multiple units can be connected to create a continuous temporary barrier system
• Quick and easy to assemble, install and reposition
• Stackable for easy transportation and storage
• Can be used with mesh fence and steel hoarding panels
• Available in a range of high visibility powder coated colours

A versatile barrier system

The strong, steel construction means that these barriers can be repositioned and reused as many times as your project requires. Manta barriers are made from long-lasting, recyclable galvanised steel, which is powder-coated to provide high visibility.

Each Manta barrier measures 1.5m x 42cm x 50cm – it’s rough as tall as it is wide. A removal steel pin connects each barrier to the next, to form a solid wall. An additional feature of the Manta barrier is that you can rotate units through 180° to accommodate right angles and bends. Common applications include defining pedestrian walkways and vehicle access, for example, to create a pit lane on construction sites or anywhere that requires the demarcation of vehicle traffic and footfall for people’s safety.

Crash-tested for safety

The new Manta barrier system has been meticulously crash-tested by experts and proven to provide superior protection against severe impact with a phenomenal “A” rating in its ASI and THIV assessments. The British Standard crash course W7 of BS EN 1317:2010 was passed with flying colours.

Withstanding an impressive 1,300 kg impact at over 50 mph, the new Manta barrier absorbed the energy of crashes, minimising damage to both vehicles and the barrier itself. This level of performance makes the Manta barrier an ideal solution for roads with high speeds and heavy traffic.

Wind-tunnel tested

The Manta barrier was tested in an internationally renowned wind tunnel both with and without fence panels attached. When test on its own, the manta barrier received an “A” rating. This means that the barrier withstood wind speeds of up to 74-mph before being displaced.

With a pedestrian barrier affixed, the barrier was able to withstand wind speeds of up to 60mph, and 44mph with an anti-climb mesh fence.

Delivery and installation

We offer a nationwide delivery and installation service. Manta barriers are stacked and delivered on pallets of six units, which can be unloaded using a forklift. For further information on how to dismantle, move, stack and pack Manta barriers please see the product specification sheet.
