F-48 High-Security Crowd Control Barricade

The Friedrichs F-48 is a heavy-duty steel crowd control barricade standing 48 inches high, with approximately 3 inches of clearance beneath the bottom rail. It provides a taller, lower-clearance option for temporary event boundaries, pedestrian control and layouts requiring a more substantial portable barrier.

Four-Foot Height with Low Ground Clearance

The F-48 combines a full four-foot height with a bottom rail positioned close to the ground. Compared with standard 43-inch-high barricades, it offers additional height and a smaller opening beneath the frame.

Interlocking connectors allow individual panels to form a continuous barricade run for event perimeters, restricted pedestrian areas and temporary crowd control layouts.

Heavy-Duty Steel Construction

The standard F-48 weighs approximately 78 pounds. When comparing steel barricades, consider the dimensions, configuration and actual weight along with the purchase price. Shorter panels have different weights, so compare the specifications for the size you need.

The standard hot-dip galvanized finish helps protect the steel during outdoor use.

Replaceable Flat Feet

The F-48 is offered with flat feet only. Its bolt-on foot design allows worn or damaged feet to be replaced without replacing the entire barricade. Replacement feet can be ordered from Friedrichs.

Multiple Lengths and Gate Options

F-48 barricades are available in 8-foot, 6-foot and 4-foot configurations. Combining lengths can help complete temporary layouts around entrances, corners and other space requirements.

F2-style gates can be used with F-48 barricades. Contact us to discuss suitable gate configurations for your layout, including available 48-inch-high gate options. View barricade gates and access options.
