System Overview
The Defender 100LDS™ is a steel safety barrier that is made of hot dip galvanised steel and is
intended for use as a temporary barrier system for the protection of workers and motorists
within and through a work zone. The barrier is anchored to the road surface every 9.15 metres.
The secure connection of the Defender 100LDS™ units is made by interlocking the Male and
Female end units together with the insertion of a connection pin to secure each unit in place.
The cross section of the unit is detailed within Figure 1.1 below and consists of a 680mm width
base with an 800mm height which results in a centre of gravity at 342mm. Each single unit is
3959mm in length, with an effective barrier length of 3900mm and weighs 303kg, or 77.7kg
per lineal meter.
