8' Plastic I-Beam Barrier Rail

The 8-foot length provides full lane closure coverage (12+ feet total with A-Frame legs), and the flexible polyethylene I-beam construction survives vehicle strikes that would shatter rigid economy rails. This combination of wide coverage and impact resistance makes it ideal for high-speed, high-traffic environments.

The I-beam profile allows significant controlled deflection -- the rail bends up to 90 degrees on moderate-speed impacts and returns to its original shape. At very high impact speeds, the rail may sustain permanent deformation and should be inspected and replaced if necessary.

Yes. Mount signs on the I-beam rail using sign clips (A44003-RSCV), and attach LED barricade lights (Model 400 or Model 2006) to the top of the rail or A-Frame leg. This creates a complete MUTCD-compliant barricade with signage and nighttime warning.

I-beam rails typically cost more per unit than economy rails. However, their impact-resistant flexibility means fewer replacements over the life of a work zone project, often resulting in lower total cost of ownership for long-duration or high-exposure applications.

Yes. On divided highways or any road where traffic may approach the barricade from both directions (such as median crossovers), 2-sided reflective sheeting is required per MUTCD standards to ensure visibility from all approach angles.
