Built on Experience
Traffic Barrier Hires was built on more than 10 years of experience in civil construction and traffic management across North Queensland. We do more than simply supply concrete barriers. We provide practical advice on the most suitable barrier systems for your project, coordinate crane installation, ensure compliance with manufacturer and TMR requirements, and manage the logistics required to keep projects running safely and efficiently. From roadworks and utilities to major infrastructure projects, we help deliver compliant barrier solutions across the region.

Frequently Asked
- What areas of North Queensland do you service?
- We deliver concrete traffic barriers across the entire North Queensland region, with regular runs to Townsville, Cairns, Mackay, Mount Isa, the Whitsundays and Burdekin.
- Why choose concrete barriers over water-filled or steel?
- Concrete barriers are freestanding — no ground anchoring or pinning required — and deliver MASH TL3 containment in speed environments up to 100 km/h. They suit highway works, bridges, tunnels, long-term separation and constrained sites where steel anchoring isn't viable and water-filled systems can't meet the containment level.
- What types of concrete barriers do you supply?
- Our fleet includes DB80, JJ Hook and T-Lok concrete barrier systems. Deflection ranges from 1.27m (T-Lok) to 1.60m (JJ Hook) under MASH TL3 impact testing at 100 km/h, with unit weights between 2.6 and 3.1 tonnes.
- What is the minimum hire period for concrete barriers?
- Hire is flexible — from short-term 48-hour deployments for emergency works through to long-term contracts for major infrastructure projects.
- Are your barriers compliant with Queensland road standards?
- Yes. Our concrete barriers meet Australian Standards and are MASH TL3 tested, satisfying Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) requirements for road traffic and pedestrian containment.
- How quickly can concrete barriers be installed?
- Typical installation rates are 300–420 linear metres per shift depending on site access and configuration. We handle full logistics — crane placement, configuration and pickup — using purpose-built trucks operated by experienced civil crew.
- Do I need to allow deflection space behind the barrier?
- Yes. All barrier systems move on impact. Concrete systems deflect approximately 1.27–1.60m at 100 km/h impact, which must be factored into work zone layout to ensure worker and equipment clearance.
- Who runs Traffic Barrier Hires?
- Traffic Barrier Hires brings over 10 years of hands-on experience in the North Queensland civil construction and traffic management industry, led by a team with deep local knowledge.
