The Benefits Of Using Klemmfix Traffic Barriers

If you are operating a construction or roadworks project and are looking to enhance the safety of your site, then Klemmfix traffic barriers are the perfect solution. Ideal for use when space might be limited or where road markings might not be as visible.

Coming in an array of shapes and with a range of additional features, such as reflectors, Klemmfix barriers have become an essential way to prevent traffic accidents. What are the benefits of adding these to your next project, though? In this latest blog, we thought we would take a closer look…

What is a Klemmfix Barrier?

Before exploring some of the biggest benefits of installing Klemmfix traffic barrirs to your site, we thought it was first important to understand what they are and how they work. This unique barrier system is made from a very high-impact plastic, which allows it to return to its original state should it be struck by a vehicle, cyclist or pedestrian. This plastic is also incredibly durable and capable of withstanding continuous exposure to the elements.

Featuring vivid yellow and red panels, these barriers can be seen from a long distance, ensuring road users are able to react accordingly and slow down in advance. They also feature reflectors ensuring they remain visible at night or during poor weather conditions.

Each Klemmfix barrier panel is connected via a yellow base which features a unique steel hook interlocking system. This makes them very quick to install and remove, enhancing the efficiency of your project.

Where can Klemmfix barriers be installed?

The Klemmfix traffic barriers are a highly versatile solution and can be used in a wide range of applications and across almost any road, including motorways, freeways, highways and construction sites.

Some of the most common uses for the Klemmfix barrier system include:

• Regulating Traffic

One of the most common uses for the Klemmfix barrier is to help regulate traffic. Thanks to their highly visible nature, they are perfect for indicating a change in layout, direction or speed. They are also a very popular style of barrier to use in areas of high pedestrian activity, as they are very effective at changing driver behaviour and reducing speeds.

• Guidance

Not only are Klemmfix traffic barriers a great way to reduce speed and make drivers aware of a change in the road, but they can also help to provide guidance in critical areas. For example, on a work site where you need to mark out a loading area, these barriers will help direct drivers to the right location without needing to worry about damage to permanent structures.

What are the benefits of a Klemmfix barrier?

Now you know what a Klemmfix traffic barrier is and some of the uses they have, we thought we would take a closer look at some of the biggest benefits they provide. There is a huge range of advantages to installing these barriers in your next project, but some of the easiest include:

1. Quick installation

One of the most significant benefits of installing a Klemmfix barrier to your event, construction site or roadworks project is that they are incredibly quick and simple to install. Experienced fitters, like our team here at RPM Hire, can protect your site in a matter of minutes, laying out the interlocking system to ensure maximum protection.

2. Highly visible

When it comes to road safety and keeping your team and passers-by safe, visibility is essential. The vivid Klemmfix barriers can be clearly seen by drivers from a long distance in the daylight, while the reflectors guarantee that road users will also be able to see them at night or in poor visibility conditions.

3. Durable

Of course, one of the major benefits of using a Klemmfix barrier is that they are incredibly durable. Being able to return to their original position following a collision means you can have the confidence that your site is protected for a long time.

Each bollard is made from a heavy-duty plastic which means it can not only withstand impact from vehicles, but can also survive constant exposure to the elements. Should the panel become extensively damaged from a heavy collision or repeat accidents, then it can be quickly substituted without needing to replace the entire system.

That durability and strength also mean that a Klemmfix barrier is very low maintenance, allowing you to focus on your project or event.

4. Versatile

Finally, Klemmfix barriers are also very versatile and adaptable. This ensures that no matter the size of your project or the roads you are looking to install them to, you will always be able to create the perfect solution for your site.
