Dodd Crowd Barrier

Key Features & Benefits

The Dodd Crowd Barrier is designed to deliver budget-friendly pedestrian control for temporary environments. Its lightweight wire infill makes it easy to handle and install, while maintaining reliable crowd management capabilities. This product is best suited for scenarios where durability is less critical, and speed and cost-efficiency are key considerations.

Compatible with a wide range of barrier jackets and ballast bags, this barrier integrates seamlessly into most site setups. It's a lighter, lower-cost alternative to fixed-leg tube-infill barriers, without compromising spatial guidance requirements.

• Wire infill design provides visibility and physical separation without the extra weight of tubular steel.
• Available in galvanised, red, and white finishes to match safety requirements or project visibility needs.
• 2.3 metre length allows efficient coverage while remaining easy to manoeuvre and transport.
• Hook and eye interlocking system enables quick, secure barrier lines that resist tampering and toppling.
• Designed for light-duty use in work areas, compounds, or pedestrian guidance at controlled access points.
  
  

Product information

The Dodd Crowd Barrier is a budget-conscious crowd control solution, crafted for temporary environments where cost, speed, and simplicity are top priorities. Constructed with a wire mesh infill and 2.3m wide frame, it provides visual and physical separation for pedestrian zones without the weight or cost of traditional tube-infill systems.

Manufactured in the West Midlands by HERMEQ, the galvanised version ensures rust resistance, while the red and white powder-coated finishes help with colour-coded zoning or visual cues.

Use cases include site walkways, demarcating exclusion zones, and channelling foot traffic away from hazardous operations. It pairs well with transport trolleys and barrier stillages for smooth on-site deployment.

While not designed for high-pressure public events or high-density environments, this barrier performs reliably in areas with moderate pedestrian flow and safety compliance needs. Its compatibility with existing HERMEQ accessories allows for integration into standard site logistics setups.

Popular uses and applications

The Dodd Crowd Barrier is ideal for low-impact pedestrian management in environments like building sites, refurbishment zones, and temporary work areas. Its wire infill design suits settings where delineation and visibility are required, but full structural resilience isn't a priority.

Commonly used to establish safe walking paths, segregate work zones, and mark exclusion areas on construction or infrastructure projects, the barrier supports compliant site access without the deployment complexity of heavy steel barriers.

The red and white finishes support zoning by task or hazard visibility, while the galvanised version offers a neutral, long-wearing appearance. These barriers are not intended for large crowds or aggressive impact resistance, but offer excellent functionality for practical, controlled applications where flexibility and speed matter.

While other HERMEQ models may be more appropriate for event management or public gatherings, the Dodd Crowd Barrier excels where quick setup and routine site control are the key concerns.

Alternative Products

For higher durability or more demanding applications, the Fixed Leg Crowd Control Barrier with tube infill offers increased strength and longevity. Alternatively, where portability is essential and storage space is limited, the Loose Leg Crowd Control Barrier may be more suitable due to its removable leg design, ideal for rapid deployment and flat-packing transport logistics.
