Barrier Hire

Our Barrier Hire range encompasses a wide range of different types of barriers – including water-filled barriers, road barriers, and sound barriers, giving you a diverse choice of site management options at your disposal. Built for durability and ease of deployment, our pedestrian barriers are suitable for everything from crowd control at events to maintaining safety around active work zones.

Our barriers also include robust pedestrian barriers that are designed to safely manage foot traffic at construction sites, events, and other busy environments. As the name suggests, they’re exceptionally useful for creating clearly defined walkways in high-traffic and potentially dangerous environments, protecting staff and visitors, and ensuring that your site meets compliance requirements.

We also supply durable Crowd Barriers, which are particularly effective for controlling large groups at public events, festivals, or demonstrations. These barriers are built to withstand heavy use while remaining easy to transport and install, making them a practical choice if you’re an event organiser or site manager who needs reliable crowd management solutions.

At Smiths Hire, we’ve been supporting customers for over 50 years with the very best hire solutions. We operate from 18 depots across the North West, enabling us to serve customers nationwide – so wherever you’re based, you can count on us to have the right barrier hire solution for you.
