Marrobar Traffic Barrier System Instructions
The MarroBar is a totally free-standing barrier system tested to BS EN 1317-N1 50mph and
approved by the Highways Agency.
It is designed to offer maximum safety. The MarroBar is one of the quickest deployable
systems on the market and with up to 200m per load it offers savings on both labour and
transport cost. On impact, MarroBar will bring an errant vehicle to a controlled stop.
Manufactured from prime UV stabilised polyethylene this provides a versatile yet strong,
flexible one-piece system for easy handling and instalment. There is no need for crane lifting
machinery for any given emergency set-up.
Deployed with ease, the MarroBar barrier system is locked together in the centre with a steel
pin formation and for added strength, two flat steel plates are easily screw fitted making
MarroBar a strong and versatile barrier to withstand impacts from errant vehicles. MarroBar
barriers are stacked safely and securely with stacking locator points on the top and bottom
of each barrier. This allows the barrier to be stacked vertically reducing the cost of transport
per metre and reducing storage space.

Components
Base Unit
12 x M12 x 25 bolts
Deploying the system
1. Units should be installed on a flat even surface.
2. To start assembly, position the first barrier at its intended final position and line
remaining barriers on their intended course. Push each barrier together, interlocking
the female pins to male tight together.
3. Once they are in the final position starting at one end place steel hinge pin in top hole
and push down until the flat top is flush with the top of the barrier. Note: if tight,
twist the pin to create downwards movement, barriers may also need to be pulled
closer into position for male and female pin to interlock closer.
4. Screw M6 bolt as supplied through hinge pin hole and into insert moulded into top
of barrier, tighten with a spanner (do not over tighten).
5. For side plate, assemble onto each side of barrier. Prepare 12 x M12 x 25 bolts with a
washer on each as supplied. (Failure to use washers will damage the fixings)
