1. What does "hot-dipped galvanized" mean for the barricade's longevity?
Hot-dipped galvanization is the gold standard for rust prevention. It means the heavy gauge steel barricade is submerged in molten zinc, coating the steel (both inside and out) with a thick, durable layer of protection. This provides long-term weather resistance and is superior to standard painting or cold galvanizing, making the CROWDMASTER HD ideal for continuous outdoor use.
2. Which foot option should I choose for my event?
The foot choice depends on your surface:
Flat Feet: Best for smooth, flat, hard surfaces like pavement, concrete, or tarmac.
Bridge Feet: Best for uneven surfaces like grass, dirt, or gravel, offering wider, more stable support.
ADA Feet: Required for public areas to minimize trip hazards and ensure ADA compliance.
Heavy Duty Feet: For maximum stability in environments with intense crowd pressure.
Roller Feet: For areas where the traffic barrier needs to be frequently and easily moved.
3. Can the CROWDMASTER HD be used to create a solid, continuous line?
Yes. The CROWDMASTER HD uses the industry standard hook and loop interlocking system. This allows units to be securely fastened together end-to-end, creating a continuous, stable crowd control fence of any required length that resists being easily moved or broken apart.
4. How does the construction prevent tampering or climbing?
The barricade is built with 21 closely spaced risers ($1/2''$ OD). The tight spacing and full insertion into the frame before welding not only add to the structural integrity but also discourage people from climbing over or attempting to squeeze through, enhancing its effectiveness as a heavy duty steel barrier.
