FAQs About Concrete Jersey Barriers
United Rentals provides durable concrete barrier rentals for demanding applications in construction, infrastructure and industrial sectors. Also known as K-rails, our concrete barriers are designed for impact resistance and are available in lengths from 5 to 20 feet to suit your project's specific needs. We also offer different types of barriers, including F-type and terminal ends. Many of our barriers are crash-rated to meet safety standards like the MASH TL-2 for speeds up to 44 mph. These concrete barrier wall rentals are essential for traffic control and specific applications like protecting workers and assets on heavy civil transit projects, securing power generation facilities and cordoning off hazardous zones in petrochemical plants. With features like forklift slots for repositioning and interlocking ends to form a continuous wall, our jersey barriers for rent are a reliable solution for your jobsite.

Due to their significant weight, concrete barriers are delivered and installed using specialized heavy equipment and lifting clamps. Many of our barriers include forklift slots to allow for easier repositioning on the jobsite as your project progresses. Our team can coordinate the logistics to ensure a safe and efficient setup.
Safety regulations for concrete barriers are typically determined by state and local Departments of Transportation (DOT) and may vary by location. Many jurisdictions require barriers that meet specific crash-test standards, such as the Test Level 2 (TL-2) rating established by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO). We recommend consulting with your local United Rentals branch or local authorities to ensure you select a compliant concrete barrier rental for your project.
Concrete barriers are the superior choice for applications where maximum impact resistance and security are critical. They are essential for creating safe work zones along high-speed roadways and for establishing anti-ram security perimeters. While plastic and steel barriers are lightweight and ideal for pedestrian control or low-speed traffic delineation, they do not offer the same level of impact protection.
