System description

Publifor® HVM is a modular flexible barrier system consisting of:

  • Steel jersey barrier base units

  • Vertical and horizontal steel posts

  • Interlocking “tooth & pin” connection system

  • Optional fencing and screening infills

Base units can be filled on site to increase mass and friction while remaining transportable when empty.


Rapid deployment

  • Installed using forklift or crane

  • Up to 25 m installed in approximately 1 hour

  • Easy to dismantle, relocate and reconfigure

Ideal for sites where protection must be installed or removed at short notice.


Structural integrity

Interlocking design

The unique tooth & pin connection system mechanically links each unit, maintaining barrier continuity even after impact.

Enhanced resistance

A rubber layer beneath the base units increases friction during impact, improving stopping performance on concrete surfaces.


Flexibility on site

  • Straight alignments and angled sections

  • Internal corners (90° and 270°)

  • Adaptable to slopes up to 5%

  • Stepping capability up to 100 mm between units


Fencing & infill options

Publifor® HVM can be combined with different infills to match security and visibility requirements:

  • Securifor® welded mesh – maximum security

  • Nylofor® welded mesh – security with visibility

  • Polycarbonate panels – transparent protection

  • Branding or privacy screens – visual screening and communication


Typical dimensions

  • Barrier length: approx. 1,750 mm

  • Barrier width: approx. 800 mm

  • Overall height (with fence): up to 2.0 m

(Exact dimensions depend on configuration and infill type.)


Applications

  • Public events and mass gatherings

  • Government and municipal sites

  • Airports and transport hubs

  • Critical infrastructure

  • Military and defense facilities

  • Temporary road closures and checkpoints
