Traffic Barricades & Crowd Control

What types of traffic barricades do you sell?
Easy Rack sells traffic barricades in two basic designs. Poly cade barricades are made to resemble small “walls” that can be used to block off areas from people and vehicles. They can be used as standalone units, or they can be put together in tandem to make an artificial wall spanning a roadway, runway, or entire parking lot. Larger barrier traffic barricades are barrels that are constructed from special materials that can be filled with sand, gravel, or even water to make them heavy and resistant to large vehicle impact.

How can these traffic barricades be used?
They can be used to control both vehicle and human foot traffic in almost any public or commercial space. We see them almost every day in parking lots and roadways under construction. We also see them used to block off areas where hazardous materials are stored. Chemical companies typically use some sort of traffic barricade to prevent people and equipment from being damaged by exposure to dangerous materials and industrial bi-products. Many forms of machinery in large factories can also be potentially unsafe if untrained employees, clients, or visitors to the factory get to close.

Amusement parks frequently use orange traffic barricades to keep underage children away from areas intended only for adolescents and adults. In the material handling industry, some of our biggest poly cade traffic barricade customers are construction companies. These companies often buy large numbers and various sizes of both types of traffic barriers to actually create traffic control pathways on construction sites.

Because they are used much more outside than inside facilities, traffic barricades and post protectors are rust proof and UV resistant, making them both rain and sun proof as much as current technology permits.

What colors and sizes do these traffic barricades come in?
Orange traffic barriers are the brightest and most visible choices, and they are made even more visible to people by means of reflective striping that works as a mirror to natural and artificial light. In some settings the bright orange and silver color, however, looks unsightly. If you are setting up traffic control for a public official’s motorcade, for example, you don’t him or her to have the red carpet treatment, not the orange barrel treatment on the way to the speech. A granite or white barrier is more appropriate for such an event.

Other areas that often prefer traffic barricades in granite or white colors include corporate headquarters, public universities, libraries, and parks. Construction companies typically prefer orange or yellow as these are industry-standard safety colors.

How big are your traffic barricades?
Smaller poly cade traffic barriers can be as small as 70 lbs., while larger barrel barricades can be as heavy as 3,000+ when filled with sand. We will help you choose the right style, size, and filler if necessary, so do not hesitate to ask for advice from our team of specialists.

Door Security Gates

Doors do not always succeed in barring access to unauthorized personnel. Intruders can enter almost any door with enough determination. Door security gates add a layer of security to buildings that need to restrict or prohibit access through one or more of its doors. They are made from a folding lattice of sturdy ¾”channel that expands and covers the entrance to the doorway, and they can be mounted either in the casing or the facing of the door opening.

Folding security gates are designed to restrict access to door openings ranging between 24” and 48” in width and 61” to 83” in height. Door security gates feature a reversible hinge design that allows them to be mounted to either the left side or the right side of the doorway. When opened, they will pivot a full 180 degrees to allow safe and convenient access to the building. Each door security gate includes a locking bar to secure the unit and block unauthorized access and/or intrusion.

Almost any building can benefit from a metal security door gate. Small boutiques and convenience stores top this list because deliveries usually come through a door in the back of the business that can be easily broken if additional security measures are not taken. Having a gate on the door can discourage burglars looking for an easy target, and it can also possibly qualify a business for an insurance break if the carrier recognizes the value in added security. Convenience stores and gas stations also can use these gates to secure doorways to garage areas, storage areas, and private offices. This not only protects property, but also human life, because many convenience stores and gas stations stay open 24 hours a day, and whoever is on duty is most vulnerable to a burglary through the rear of the building. Adding a security door gate is something every 24 hour facility should strongly consider as a precaution against theft and violent crime. Industrial facilities can also use steel security gates on doors that lead to restricted areas. Because these gates are controlled by padlocks, it is a simple matter to issue a key to only those who need to be in that part of the building.

Installing security door gates is simple. You simply stand the folded gate against the door frame and mark the mounting surface through the holes in the hinge bar. It works best if you use 5/16 X 2” lag bolts if you are mounting it with wood. If you are mounting the door security gate with steel, drill and tap for 5/16 X 2” lag bolts in 3/8” holes. Then, drill appropriately sized holes in the mounting surface, and then mount the gate by inserting the screws through the hinge bar. Once you have the security door gate securely mounted, stretch it across the opening and line up the padlock hole in the locking bar with the padlock hole in the gate. Next, mark the mounting holes of the locking bar with a pen or pencil, drill the holes, and mount the locking bar with screws. Now the security door gate is ready to be pulled shut, and locked with a padlock.

Metal Security Gates

Easy Rack manufacturers the "Classic" design of folding metal security gate that has stood the test of time and proven its durability and reliability. Our folding metal gates and safety barriers are manufactured from 3/4" wide 14 gauge steel channel that is riveted back to back with solid steel rivets. Solid rivets give each gate the necessary strength to endure stress and perform reliably for years. Gate rails are made from 1-1/2" x 1-1/2" x 1/8" thick hot rolled angle iron that resists abuse and last longer than thinner alternatives. Drop pins are made of 5/8" round rod and all casters are steel. We thoroughly coat each metal security gate with black enamel paint.

Metal security gates barricade access points and create restricted areas for security and safety purposes. Made out of a strong, impenetrable lattice of 14-gauge channel steel, a metal security gate cannot be pushed or broken down. Because the lattice is technically mostly empty space, however, it provides clear visibility for surveillance, and it allows for building ventilation of fumes and excess heat.

There are four basic model designs of metal security gates that Easy Rack currently provides: single gates, double gates, door gates, and portable gates. Single and Double gates are mounted on hinge pins that allow you to swing them to the side like a doorway. The center of the gate is reinforced by a drop pin that prevents it from caving in when pushed either from the center or the top. This design makes the unit both durable and vandal resistant.

Metal Security Door Gates
These gates are intended to limit access to normal sized doors in commercial and industrial buildings. . Easy Rack has sizes that will fit all doors and will manufacture custom-sized gates on request. Metal security door gates offer industrial clients a versatile design that allows them to be mounted to lock on either the left or the right. Metal security door gates will mount on either the door frame recess or the outer wall surrounding the door frame. Either mounting option will allow the gate to be folded and swung to the side when it is not in use.

Single Metal security gates
These gates are made out of a single steel lattice and cover the entrance to any number of larger commercial doorways, such as bay doors or garage type doors. Standard locking position is on the left side, but custom ordered right side locking gates can be requested through your Easy Rack representative. To keep the gate from losing its center, single metal security gates feature a drop pin in the center which provides added stability in wider openings.

Double Metal Security Gates
Just as the name states, double metal security gates are two steel lattices connecting together in the center. This allows both sides to be swung completely 180 degrees out of the way when necessary. These are ideal metal security gates to use in front of dock entrances that have heavy vehicle traffic, such as fork trucks, pallet trucks, pickups, and vans.

Portable Metal Security Gates
These gates are used a great deal in construction environments. They provide portable security, and when they are folded up they are only 6.5ʼ high, they are small enough to fit through a standard door opening, and compact enough to be stored out of site. Portable metal security gates are easy to install and lock to the wall with a sample padlock hasp arrangement that comes included in your order.

Crowd Control Barriers, Traffic Bollards, Gaurd Rails, Poly Barricades & Curved Steel Gaurd Rails at Discount Prices.

Easy Rack Guard Rail Systems allow you to custom build effective and powerful crowd control barricades. Easy Rack guardrails are both sturdy and customizable; and you can choose galvanized models, poly barricades or our structural c-channel guard rails when constructing your vehicle and crowd barricades.

Both galvanized and c-channel guardrails are built to deliver maximum durability and protection. They can be used to create crowd barricades ranging from one, two, or three rail high systems. The tubular posts upon which they are mounted are machined for continuous or perpendicular rail mounting.

US D.O.T. guardrail mounting and I-beam posts can also be ordered from your Easy Rack specialist, who will supply you as well with post mounting hardware included in your order.

Floor mounting kits can also be ordered separately from Easy Rack.

Galvanized Guard Rail
A double guard rail system makes for an excellent crowd control and vehicle impact barrier and is easy to create by mounting two rails onto a single post. This enables the barrier to protect both a higher area and a larger perimeter.

For locations where vehicle impact is just as much a concern as crowd control, barriers can be constructed by mounting overlapping rails to spring post. Your Easy Rack expert can help you customize rail and post lengths and also equip you with flexible poles for maximum torque/impact absorption.

90º Curved Galvanized Guard Rails
To build an effective crowd control barrier around the corner of a perimeter, we recommend you use curved galvanized guardrails angled at 90 degrees. This helps direct traffic around the corners of parking lots at outdoor events and festivals. It also works good at corners of driveways to direct traffic.

Specialty End Guards
Heavy-duty end guards protect your crowd control barricades from vandalism and vehicle impact on railing ends. They attach easily to the ends or corner connections of any railing system.

C-Channel Guard Rail Systems
Barricades built out of C-Channel guardrails add maximum strength and protection to crowd control. Their drop in place design protects personnel and machinery and makes assembly and disassemble quick and safe. The rails can be removed in a matter of seconds. Easy Rack customizes rail lengths upon request.

A drop-in and bolt-on style rail design can also be purchased that enables you to create a crowd control barrier that is super impact resistant and highly visible with a powder coat safety yellow finish. Made from triple ridge corrugated rails that are constructed from 1/8" thick material and are highly impact resistant, these structural rail barricades can be mounted indoors as well as outside using steel base plates that measure 10" square and are 5/8" thick. Assembly equipment is included with your order, and Easy Rack can also install your barricades upon request.

Industrial, Folding, Safety, Security, Steel & Folding Gates from Easy Rack.

One excellent way to create temporary barriers to keep areas free from traffic and safe for workers to perform tasks is to use industrial gates. Industrial, folding, safety, and steel gates may be used both indoors and outdoors. Folding gates can function as stand alone units or units connected in a series to form longer barriers. Steel gates can be placed in front of sensitive areas at night to help security guards regulate access to the building. Other models can be setup indoors by cleaning crews who need to keep wet floors off limits to pedestrians and vehicles. Safety gates and barriers provide construction crews with a means of sectioning off piles of debris that occasionally accumulate during the course of the day.

Easy Rack ships both used and new industrial gates, folding gates, safety gates, and steel scissor folding gates in a wide range of sizes to factories and warehouses all over the United States. Easy Rack specialists will consult with you over the phone and help you choose the right security gates and industrial gates for your facility at no charge for their time.

The following are just a few of the many steel and folding gates that you can choose from.

Expand-A-Gate

The expand-a-gate is an ideal stand-alone barrier that is designed to temporarily prohibit access to areas for cleaning or safety concerns. It expands from a collapsed width of 14.5" to 144". It can be used alone, or linked with other expand-a-gates end-to-end to form longer runs. This is especially useful to construction operations that may need to section off half of an entire new floor. The Expand-A-Gate is made with heavy-duty construction and painted with a yellow & black finish. It is available in all steel or all aluminum construction.

All Galvanized Folding Gates and Portable Gates
These 15-gauge steel folding gates are made with fast installation foremost in mind. You can use them to secure outside access during the day and add security at night with heavy-duty 3" rubber casters that allow the operator to quickly and fully retract gate when not in use. The center drop pin rests in a pre-drilled hole and secures the steel gate when extended. A lock located on the right side of single gates prevents unauthorized removal. Each folding gate is constructed of steel U-channels riveted back-to-back using aircraft quality rivets and heavy-duty 1½" x 1½" vertical angles. It is then galvanized for durability.

Easy Rack includes all necessary installation hardware with your order.

Contact Easy Rack directly for a full range of steel gate sizes.

Portable Gate
Portable gates are great tools for many applications. You can use them to block equipment, personnel and entrances. They also make very useful barriers for security both inside and outside of buildings. Portable gates expand and lock to close off any opening. When they are not in use, simply fold them up, roll away and store. Porch mounted gates are good for handicap areas.

Easy Rack supplies an optional add-on section to create larger runs.
