PRODUCT DETAILS

Built for large sites where height, visibility, durability, and layout flexibility matter.

The Guardsafe 42P is a durable, water-fillable plastic barricade designed to create highly visible separation in temporary traffic control, construction, checkpoint, crowd-control, data center, perimeter-control, and access-control applications. Its rotationally molded polyethylene construction is built for repeated field use, while its pivoting pin-connected design allows crews to create continuous straight runs, controlled turns, and flexible site layouts without special hardware.

Built for Large-Scale Data Center Construction Sites

The Guardsafe 42P is well suited for large-scale data center construction sites where visibility, access control, perimeter layouts, pedestrian walkways, and changing site conditions all matter. Its taller 42-inch profile helps crews create clear separation around high-traffic access points, utility work zones, laydown yards, temporary internal traffic routes, and phased campus construction areas.

Big sites need simple visual rules. Guardsafe 42P barricades are available in custom colors to help contractors create clear site zones — such as high-visibility green for pedestrian walkways and orange for traffic routes, work zones, or restricted areas.

Pivoting 90-Degree Turns Without a Separate Corner Piece

The “P” in Guardsafe 42P stands for Pivot. The Guardsafe 42P is designed to stay connected through controlled turns up to 90 degrees using the rotationally molded plastic pin included with each barricade. That means crews can create corners, access points, and changing site layouts without buying separate corner pieces, special adapters, or added connection hardware.

Compatible with Guardsafe 36

The Guardsafe 42P is compatible with the Guardsafe 36, allowing crews to maintain a continuous connected line when a site calls for both 36-inch and 42-inch barricade sections. Each Guardsafe 42P and Guardsafe 36 includes a separate rotationally molded plastic pin, so mixed-height layouts can be connected without extra hardware, special adapters, or added connection kits.

This gives contractors the flexibility to use taller Guardsafe 42P units in areas where additional height or visibility is preferred, while continuing the connected run with Guardsafe 36 barricades where a lower-profile unit is the better fit. Both the Guardsafe 42P and Guardsafe 36 can accept fencing, giving crews more flexibility when defining pedestrian walkways, restricted areas, perimeter lines, or changing site layouts.

Frequently Asked Questions About Guardsafe 42P Barricades

Contractors, distributors, engineers, and project managers regularly ask these questions when selecting taller water-filled barricades for traffic control, pedestrian routing, perimeter definition, and large construction projects.

The Guardsafe 42P is designed for applications where increased height, visibility, connected layouts, and site flexibility matter. Here are some of the most common questions about Guardsafe 42P barricades.

What is the Guardsafe 42P?

The Guardsafe 42P is a rotationally molded, water-filled plastic barricade designed for temporary traffic control, pedestrian separation, perimeter layouts, and changing construction site conditions. Its taller 42-inch profile helps improve visibility and site definition while maintaining a connected barricade system.

What does the “P” in Guardsafe 42P mean?

The “P” in Guardsafe 42P refers to the barricade’s pivot capability. Connected Guardsafe 42P barricades can create controlled turns and layout changes using the included rotationally molded plastic connection pin.

Can Guardsafe 42P barricades turn corners?

Yes. Guardsafe 42P barricades are designed to pivot through controlled turns using the included rotationally molded plastic pin. This allows crews to create connected corners, changing site layouts, and directional changes without requiring a separate corner piece or additional connection hardware.

Does Guardsafe 42P require a separate corner piece?

No. Guardsafe 42P barricades can create connected turns without requiring a dedicated corner section. This helps simplify layouts on large construction sites, phased projects, pedestrian routes, and temporary access-control areas.

Can Guardsafe 42P connect with Guardsafe 36 barricades?

Yes. Guardsafe 42P is compatible with the Guardsafe 36 Barricade, allowing crews to create continuous mixed-height barricade runs using the same rotationally molded plastic connection system.

Why would a project use both Guardsafe 36 and Guardsafe 42P barricades?

Some projects benefit from using different barricade heights in different areas of the site. Guardsafe 42P can provide additional height and visibility in pedestrian areas, perimeter layouts, or high-traffic zones, while Guardsafe 36 can be used in areas where a lower-profile barricade is preferred. Their compatible connection system allows both products to work together in continuous layouts.

Can Guardsafe 42P accept fencing?

Yes. Guardsafe 42P can accept fence topper systems for applications where additional height, pedestrian separation, perimeter definition, or access control is needed.

Where are Guardsafe 42P barricades commonly used?

Guardsafe 42P barricades are commonly used on large construction projects, data center construction sites, pedestrian walkways, perimeter layouts, utility projects, access-control zones, restricted areas, temporary traffic routes, and phased campus-style builds.

Are Guardsafe 42P barricades used on data center construction sites?

Yes. Guardsafe 42P barricades are well suited for large-scale data center construction sites where changing layouts, pedestrian routing, perimeter definition, and phased construction zones require flexible connected barricade systems.

Is Guardsafe 42P rotationally molded?

Yes. Guardsafe 42P is manufactured using rotational molding, a process commonly used to create durable hollow plastic products designed for repeated outdoor and job-site use. To learn more about the differences between rotational molding and blow molding, read our Rotational Molding vs Blow Molding article.

What is the difference between a barricade and a barrier?

In traffic safety, the terms “barricade” and “barrier” are sometimes used interchangeably, but they are not always technically the same. Guardsafe 42P is best described as a water-filled barricade or Longitudinal Channelizing Device used to create visible separation and channelization in temporary traffic control and jobsite environments. To learn more about the terminology differences between barriers, barricades, and Longitudinal Channelizing Devices, read our Barrier vs Barricade vs Longitudinal Channelizing Device article.

What does MASH mean for water-filled barricades?

MASH refers to crash testing criteria used to evaluate roadside safety hardware and temporary traffic control devices. To learn more about what MASH means for water-filled barricades and Longitudinal Channelizing Devices, read our What Does MASH Mean for Water-Filled Barricades? article.

Can Guardsafe 42P be used for pedestrian routing?

Yes. Guardsafe 42P can help define pedestrian walkways, separate foot traffic from vehicles, create perimeter routes, and support changing construction site layouts. Fence topper systems can provide additional vertical separation where needed.

Can Guardsafe 42P be produced in custom colors?

Yes. Guardsafe 42P barricades can be produced in custom colors for applications involving pedestrian routing, branded site zones, restricted areas, or visual traffic separation.

Who manufactures Guardsafe 42P?

Guardsafe 42P is manufactured by Remcon Plastics, a rotational molding company based in Reading, Pennsylvania. Remcon designs and manufactures durable plastic products for traffic safety, material handling, and custom OEM applications.
