Interlocking Steel Barriers Specifications
Supporting Details
Purpose and Use
The Standard Blockader was developed to meet the demands of today’s barrier customers for a high-quality, lower-priced
product for line delineation.
Blockader’s high-volume worldwide production enables Standard Blockader barriers to be economically-priced. Yet, it
retains the design features of the heavy-duty Classic Blockader barricade.
Bases
(Fig A)
• There are two types of bases: Bridge and Flat base
• Traditional bridge bases are designed so that each individual barrier has one large
base and one small base, located at the extreme ends of the frame. This allows all
four points of the base to remain in constant contact with the ground, as well
as accommodating placement of barriers in both a straight line and at various
angles.
• Flat bases are contructed from U-channel steel and are the same size.
• All bases are bolt-on, replaceable, and interchangeable for both size barriers.
• The height of a barrier will remain constant no matter which style base is used.

(Fig B)
• Blockader™ bamy bullets are designed to be linked together via male hooks. A 30
degree bend in the male hook creates a positive interlock which prevents it from
becoming disengaged.
• Each male hook is a 0.5" steel rod, welded to the frame on both ends.
Three-Way Interlock
(Fig C)
• The style and location of the hooks and receptors is designed to accommodate a
three-way interlock set-up, in which three barriers are connected at one point (one
at a right angle, while the other two are side-by-side in a straight line.)
• This counter-braces the continuous line, and enables the creation of a reinforced
double line (running parallel to the original line, supported by counter braces).
Vertical Uprights
• Vertical uprights are 0.5" O.D. steel tubing, inserted into frames before welding.
• For utmost protection against slip-through, the number of uprights per frame is
different for each of the two frame lengths.
Finish
Blockader™ interlocking steel barriers (and individual bases) are hot-dip galvanized after
fabrication to ensure optimum protection of the steel, resulting in a longer life-span.
Combination ID Panel/Carrying Handle
(Fig D)
• The steel panel (9.5 inches by 5 inches), welded to the frame prior to hot-dip
galvanizing, can be used for your identification sign or decal
• The steel tubing welded to the bottom of the ID sign panel becomes a balanced
carrying handle
• The carrying handle bar is rounded so it will not pinch or cut your ngers. The
barrier will be balanced between your ngers
