Cost-Effective Barricade : CrowdMaster Plus
When it comes to crowd control solutions, striking the perfect balance between durability and cost is often a challenging task. For event organizers, construction site managers, and public safety officials, the need for a reliable and cost-effective barricade is paramount. Enter the CrowdMaster Plus – an innovative barricade model that not only promises exceptional durability but also comes at a budget friendly price. Designed with meticulous attention to detail, the CrowdMaster Plus barricade is set to redefine your crowd management strategies with its unique features and unparalleled performance.
Cost-Effective Barricade and Shipping Savings
The innovative design of the 1-inch diameter frame not only enhances this barricade’s strength but also allows for more efficient stacking. This means more barricades can be shipped in less space, reducing freight costs by up to 50% in some cases. This freight saving combined with the price decrease of the barricade itself, makes the CrowdMaster Plus the most cost-effective barricade option on the market, all without compromising on durability or strength.
A Revolution in Design and Material
Crafted from 16-gauge, hot dipped galvanized steel, the CrowdMaster Plus features a new 1-inch OD frame that significantly enhances its versatility and cost-effectiveness. This seemingly small detail in design provides several benefits. Firstly a 1” diameter frame is cheaper to produce than the standard 1.5” diameter. More importantly, by reducing the tube diameter of the frame more barricades can be stacked on a pallet reducing freight costs. Strength and durability are not affected as the CrowdMaster Plus design incorporates 21 closely spaced uprights that are inserted into the frame tubing before welding. This manufacturing process provides remarkable structural integrity, making CrowdMaster Plus one of the sturdiest barricades available.
Galvanizing and Powder Coating Options
The base model of CrowdMaster Plus is hot dip galvanized for long term weather resistance. The hot dip galvanizing method ensures a thick galvanized coating inside and outside of the barricade including the welds. Hot dip galvanizing is extraordinarily tough and will not chip or wear even with the toughest use. This process protects the CrowdMaster Plus from rust for the life of the barricade even with permanent outdoor use.
Galvanizing is a great way of protecting the barricade from rust, but it does look quite industrial. In some applications colors may be more suitable, whether to stand out in safety
applications or to blend in for public events. For those seeking more aesthetic appeal, the CrowdMaster Plus is available in a range of powder coat colors. This process applies color to the barricade in powder form and then bakes it in a high temperature oven. This result is a colored layer being applied to the steel that is much tougher than regular paint. CrowdMaster Plus colors include black, yellow and orange.
Versatile Foot Placement for Optimal Stability
One of the standout features of the CrowdMaster Plus is its adjustable feet positioning.. Placing the feet on the edges of the barricade gives it that classic steel barricade look and feel and is recommended if the barricades are set in a straight line. Setting the feet to their ‘inboard’ position allows the barricades to be set a right angles without the feet overlapping. Additionally positioning the feet on the inside directs strength to the center and reinforcing it against pressure from leaning or climbing.
Two Options for Barricade Feet
The CrowdMaster Plus offers two different options for feet, catering to different surface types. Bridge feet are ideal for uneven surfaces such as grass, broken pavement, and gravel, ensuring optimal stability. For even surfaces like tarmac, sidewalks, and streets flat feet provide maximum stability with minimum trip hazard.
Applications and Versatility
The CrowdMaster Plus barricades are perfect for a wide range of applications:
Events and Festivals: Ideal for managing large crowds, the adjustable foot placement allows for versatile layouts tailored to specific areas within the event, such as stages, concession stands, or restrooms.
Construction Sites: Essential for safety, these barricades can cordon off dangerous areas or guide traffic, adapting to the site’s layout and safety requirements.
Queues and Checkpoints: Perfect for efficiently managing queues and access points at concerts, sporting events, and public events.
Public Safety and Traffic Control: These barricades offer the adaptability needed for scenarios where crowd management intersects with traffic control, such as parades, road closures, or public safety operations.
Conclusion
In the world of crowd control barricades, the CrowdMaster Plus stands out not only for its innovative design and superior durability but also for its cost-effectiveness and versatility. This barricade is the ideal solution for those looking to maximize their investment without compromising on quality or performance. Whether you need to manage crowds at large events, ensure safety at construction sites, or control traffic in public areas, the CrowdMaster Plus offers the perfect blend of strength, stability, and affordability.
