Galvanised Armco Barrier Pedestrian Friendly End – 446mm

The Armco Barrier Pedestrian Friendly End is designed to curve the terminal edge of a crash barrier away from foot traffic, reducing the risk of injury where pedestrians walk close to barrier runs. Unlike a standard fishtail end, its profile is specifically shaped to minimise the hazard the barrier end poses to people rather than just deflecting vehicle contact. Finished with hot-dip galvanising for corrosion resistance, it’s built for long-term outdoor and indoor use.

Key Specifications

• Length: 446mm
• Adds 138mm from the end post
• Finish: Galvanised
• Weight: 7.5kg

What It’s Used For

• Terminating Armco crash barrier runs in pedestrian areas
• Car parks and pedestrian walkways adjacent to vehicle routes
• Warehouses and distribution centres with shared foot and vehicle traffic
• Any barrier end where pedestrian safety is a priority over standard vehicle deflection alone

Why a Pedestrian Friendly End Matters

In areas where people regularly walk close to barrier runs, a standard barrier end can present a hazard at hip or leg height. The pedestrian friendly end curves the termination away from the walking line, reducing the risk of a trip, catch or impact injury for pedestrians passing close to the barrier.

Installation

This pedestrian friendly end fits standard Armco barrier beams and is fixed using lap bolts (available separately). It’s suitable for new barrier installations and can be retrofitted to existing runs where pedestrian safety needs upgrading.

Armco Barrier Pedestrian Friendly End FAQs

What is a pedestrian friendly end used for?

It provides a barrier termination specifically shaped to reduce the risk of injury to pedestrians walking close to a crash barrier run, curving the end away from the walking line.

How is it different from a standard fishtail end?

A fishtail end is primarily designed to deflect vehicle contact away from the barrier’s exposed edge. A pedestrian friendly end is shaped to reduce hazard to people on foot, making it the better choice where pedestrian and vehicle routes are close together.

Is this suitable for outdoor use?

Yes — the galvanised finish provides strong corrosion resistance, making it suitable for both outdoor and indoor barrier installations.

Can it be fitted to an existing barrier?

Yes, it’s compatible with standard Armco barrier beams and can be retrofitted to existing installations, not just new builds.
