Ultra-portable barrier system offers safety, efficiency and reusability

SafetyMITS has released an ultraportable barrier system it says offers safety, efficiency and reusability.

The Rapid Roll Barrier Storage Cartridge and Rapid Post system is designed for a wide range of industries including mining, building, construction and manufacturing, as well as being ideal for council, emergency and general maintenance workers.

Safe and sturdy, the fully integrated reuseable Rapid Roll barrier system quickly creates a clearly defined protective zone that keeps workers and the general public protected, promises the company.

In fact, creating a clearly defined worksite perimeter has never been easier or quicker to assemble, it reckons. The Rapid Roll barrier system offers fast, trouble-free site securement leading to less set up time and more efficient work time.

Set up and take down of the barrier system can be done safely by just one worker in a matter of minutes. Yet the result is a clearly defined zone that prevents entry by those who might want to duck under or climb over the barrier.

This provides workers with peace of mind knowing they can safely perform their task in a secure area. This includes overhead workers using cherry pickers or high platforms, with the Rapid Roll barrier system keeping the public safe below their work zone. And when the job is finished, retracting the barrier system is just as easy as setting up. The worker simply cranks the handle and the barrier fencing neatly rolls back into the main cartridge.

Tony Brooks, Director of SafetyMITS, said the [system] is a revolution in worksite safety and convenience. Because Rapid Roll barriers cannot be walked through, it is far safer for the general public than pylons and caution tape. He said the system created an easily-seen visual barrier 145cm high, that is both sturdy and portable. As well, reflective safety tape is fitted to both sides of the cartridge and posts, making it easily visible in low light environments.

Portability is another of the key features of the Rapid Roll barrier system, being easy to carry and worksite-durable and ready to roll out straight from the cartridge.

With 15m of fencing option, it is highly adaptable, and can be used in a straight line, as a full enclosure or two or three sided. For larger areas, it can be simply connected in multiple units. Weighing 12.7kg, the Rapid Roll barrier system can be easily carried and assembled by one worker in a matter of minutes. A wheeled system is also available, capable of carrying four posts and bases for larger applications.
