The RB2000 is a heavy-duty, water-filled safety barrier built to separate traffic, pedestrians and work zones. Each high-visibility red-and-white block measures 2m long, 1m high and 400mm thick, weighing roughly 35kg empty and up to 400kg when filled with around 400 litres of water. Moulded from UV-stabilised polyethylene, it interlocks with a 5-position locking system and is Chapter 8 compliant thanks to its reflective façade strip. MIRA tested to withstand winds of up to 75mph, it’s a dependable choice for roadworks, sites and events.
When you need to physically separate vehicles, the public and a work area, the RB2000 does the job without the cost or installation effort of permanent barriers. Empty, each unit is light enough for two people to position; filled, it provides a solid 400kg deterrent that stays put. That combination, easy to deploy, heavy once in place, is what makes water-filled barriers the standard choice for temporary perimeters.
The bright red-and-white finish keeps the barrier visible day and night, and the reflective strip means the system meets Chapter 8 requirements for road and street works. Whether you’re managing a footpath diversion, fencing off a demolition zone or controlling crowds at a large event, the RB2000 gives you a compliant, reusable perimeter you can set up and break down in minutes.
Need to create safe pedestrian routes alongside your barrier system? Browse our range of Chapter 8 barriers, designed for roadworks, construction sites, utilities and temporary traffic management where pedestrian segregation is essential.

The RB2000 suits a wide range of temporary perimeter and separation jobs: roadworks and lane closures, construction and demolition sites, site security and pedestrian management, dockyards and airport airside areas, and large-scale events where free-flowing traffic needs to be kept apart from the public. It also helps reduce congestion and protect surrounding property and the environment from site activity.
For projects where a shorter barrier is more practical, our 1m water-filled Evo traffic barrier offers a compact solution for road vehicle management, pedestrian safety and temporary site works.
As a guide, a single-line connection between two units takes around two minutes, and roughly 100 linear metres can be installed in about 1 hour and 45 minutes, depending on layout and ground conditions.
No. The RB2000 is a separation and delineation barrier; it physically marks and protects a boundary but isn’t rated for vehicle impact containment. If you need a barrier designed to redirect a moving vehicle, look at a tested crash barrier such as the RB22 instead.
Water is the intended ballast and is what the ~400kg filled weight is based on. In freezing conditions, operators sometimes add a salt or antifreeze solution to stop the water inside from icing up. Check your site requirements before doing so.
Each block has a female socket on one side and a male peg on the other. To build a continuous run, you simply line them up so the male end of one drops into the female end of the next; they’re designed to alternate automatically along a line.
No. The RB2000 relies on its filled weight to stay in position, so no ground fixing is required, making it ideal for hard surfaces like tarmac and concrete, where you can’t or don’t want to drill.
Yes, each unit has an integrated forklift point so it can be lifted and repositioned. Bear in mind a filled barrier weighs around 400kg, so confirm your forklift’s rated capacity before lifting
Each barrier covers 2 linear metres, so a 100m run needs roughly 50 units in a single straight line. Allow for corners and any gateways when calculating your order.
