JerseyBlok Light-Duty Water Barricade

A water-filled barricade is an excellent option if you need to block off traffic and establish clearer perimeters. Perfect for parking lots, small construction jobs, or special events. Made from rotomolded high-density polyethylene (HDPE), plastic jersey barriers, available in an array of neon colors, are a perfect alternative to dull concrete barricades.

1. Do water barriers work?

A: It ultimately depends on what you use them for. While a light-duty barrier doesn’t provide total protection, it’s stable and visible enough to delineate perimeters, whether you need them to separate construction projects or parking lots.

2. How heavy is the JerseyBlok Light-Duty?

A: The JerseyBlok Light-Duty is just 50 lbs when unfilled. When filled, its weight climbs to 467 pounds.

3. How do I fill the JerseyBlok Light-Duty?

A: The JerseyBlok Light-Duty provides a threaded fill port. To fill, simply place the barrier in the correct position and then use either a water cart or hose to fill it with water. You can also fill it with sand if need be. To empty, simply unplug the bottom drain.

4. What size is jersey barrier usually?

A: A typical jersey barrier is anywhere from 24 to 32 inches high and between 6 to 8 feet long, though the actual measurements can vary from product to product. The JerseyBlok Light Duty is 24 inches high and 8 feet long.

5. What can you use instead of jersey barriers?

A: The term “jersey barriers” often refers to concrete barriers. In some cases, though, concrete barriers can be replaced with plastic jersey barriers, which can then be filled with water or sand to add weight to ensure stability. If you’re unsure whether you can use plastic instead of concrete for your project, check your local regulations for more information.
