The new compact 32-inch LCD barricade represents the next step in the evolution of temporary plastic safety devices. It’s smaller and lighter than any of our other models and features the most unique geometry we have designed thus far.
Since the first concrete barriers were implemented on highways, little has changed in regard to their form. This innovative new part is a hybrid of the well-known Jersey shape and the more effective F-shape – widely regarded as the safest shape for drivers in a collision. What really makes this barricade different is the interior geometry that allowed for a significant size decrease while maintaining the function and impact strength of a larger barricade.
Our current traffic rated part is 42 inches high and 72 inches long with a 24-inch base. It has three sloping ridges and two concave sections in between that give the barricade a rigid but light structure. To create a smaller version, only 32 inches high and 45 inches wide, that would function like a larger part, our engineering team designed internal bracing structures and modified the proportions of the original. The angles used give the barricade a unique look and a very rigid and strong internal structure.
For work zones that require 42-inch tall barricades the 42-inch LCD works great but this height is not always necessary. For projects that require 32-inch barricades the new design functions as well as our current LCD but at a fraction of the size and cost.
The 42-inch LCD is an effective channelizing device and has been one of our most popular products since it was introduced. However, it’s imposing size limits the maximum number of units per full truckload to only 80 parts. The new smaller LCD is 32 pounds empty and its compact size allows us to fit 24 parts on a single pallet. This means we will achieve a 68% increase in linear feet per full truckload, significantly reducing shipping costs for our customers.
The barricade features a large fill cap, drain cap and two mounting points to accommodate traditional pancake-style lights. After receiving feedback from our customers, we’ve also included holes on each side of the part that can be used to zip tie or bolt barricades together (Note: Barricades do not have to be secured together to be effective in channelizing cars).
