Trans-Supply Blog – Road & Airport Safety At It's Best

This blog post is dedicated to understanding the different features/options that are available with an airport barricade.  There are four important decisions you need to make: height of the barricade, reflective sheeting, lights and flags.  A typical airport barricade is 10 x 96″ but there are also 24″ x 96″ models.

Reflective sheeting is the orange/white stripes on a barricade that give the unit more visibility.  You can typically get barricades with sheeting on one side, two sides, or you can choose to have no sheeting at all.  Most projects require sheeting on both sides.

Now for lights, these are typically red, solar powered and 360 degrees.  They screw in the top of the airport barricade, and the project will call for one of two per unit.  180 degree lights can also fit on these, but it does depend on the model so always double check with the seller.

Flags are typically 18″ x 18″ or 20″ x 20″ and a solid orange color.  Most barricades have one or two holders for flags.  That’s the basics when it comes to these, but if you have any questions feel free to leave a comment below.
