Concrete Barrier Hire

Unauthorised vehicle access can lead to serious problems – illegal encampments, fly-tipping, vandalism, and theft. Marpol Security provides heavy-duty concrete barrier hire to prevent unwanted entry and protect your site around the clock.

Reliable Physical Protection for Vacant Land, Car Parks & Perimeters

Our barriers offer a strong, visible deterrent that’s quick to deploy and built to last, ideal for disused sites, private car parks, and access roads to commercial or industrial properties.

Why Use Concrete Barriers?

Concrete barriers are a highly effective physical security measure. Once installed, they make it virtually impossible for vehicles to enter without permission, blocking driveways, entrances, car parks, and open spaces.

Common applications include:

Preventing illegal traveller encampments

Securing car parks and access roads

Blocking fly-tippers and joyriders

Protecting vacant land and development plots

Supporting larger perimeter security plans

Our barriers can be installed as a standalone solution or in combination with fencing, gates, or steel doors for a fully secured site.

Our Concrete Barrier Options

To suit different site requirements, we offer a range of barrier types:

Temporary Vertical Concrete Barriers (TVCBs)

TVCBs are ideal for controlling access to wide entrances, protecting vacant land, and acting as an effective vehicle security barrier. They are designed for strength and stability, making them suitable for construction sites, access roads, and even as a flood defence measure.

Concrete Jersey Barriers

These heavy-duty barriers are used primarily for traffic separation, perimeter protection, and safe demarcation. The interlocking design allows for a continuous line of defence, making them suitable for both vehicle control and securing perimeters against forced entry.

Interlocking Concrete Blocks

These stackable blocks are perfect for creating temporary retaining walls or storage bays. Thanks to their interlocking design, they can be built to any height or layout required, making them a flexible option for construction projects, property protection, and access control.

XL Concrete Security Blocks

Our largest option, weighing approximately 4700kg, provides maximum resistance to vehicle intrusion. These oversized blocks are ideal for high-risk sites, gateways, and industrial entrances. They can also be stacked for added security and are delivered with appropriate lifting and placement equipment.

Fast Deployment & Removal

We understand the urgency that often comes with securing a site. That’s why Marpol offers a fast and efficient barrier hire service, with delivery typically available within 24–48 hours of confirmation.

Our team will:

  • Assess your site layout and access points
  • Deliver and position concrete barriers using suitable lifting equipment
  • Ensure proper spacing and coverage for maximum effectiveness
