The Original Friedrichs Heavy-Duty Barricade The F2-B Heavy-Duty Crowd Control Barricade is the original Friedrichs barricade design and has been a trusted choice for professional crowd control applications for decades. Manufactured in the United States by Friedrichs Custom Manufacturing, the F2-B was designed for customers who require a durable, reusable steel barricade capable of handling demanding event environments. The F2-B remains a popular barricade model for municipalities, police departments, event organizers, rental companies and large-scale special events. The F2-B is commonly referred to as an 8-foot crowd control barricade, with an actual overall length of approximately 8' 7".

F2-B Heavy-Duty Barricade Specifications

The Proof Is in the Weight

Heavy Duty Isn't Just a Label. Check the Weight.

Two barricades may look similar in a photograph, but they are not necessarily built the same. One of the simplest ways to compare steel crowd control barricades is to look at the actual weight and the amount of material used in construction.

The F2-B weighs approximately 50 lbs., providing the substantial steel construction expected from a professional-grade heavy-duty barricade.

When comparing barricades, compare more than price. Compare the weight. Compare the specifications. Compare how much barricade you are actually getting for your investment.

Heavy duty isn't just a label. The proof is in the weight.

Available Lengths

The standard F2-B Heavy-Duty Barricade is approximately 8' 7" long and is the most popular configuration.

The 8' 7" barricade generally provides the best value because manufacturing labor is similar across barricade sizes, making the larger barricade the most economical choice for most applications.

The F2-B is also available in shorter lengths:

• 8' 7" standard length
• 6' 7" length (pictured below)
• 4' 7" length

Shorter barricades can be useful when an event layout requires more precise coverage than can be achieved using only standard-length barricades. Professional users will sometimes combine lengths to achieve exact layouts. Many large barricade orders include primarily standard 8' 7" barricades with a smaller number of 6' 7" and/or 4' 7" sections to complete specific coverage requirements.
