At Paragon Traffic Management, innovation and safety are at the heart of everything we do. With our recent investment in Slimstack Pedestrian Barriers, we’re taking another leap forward in enhancing road and pedestrian safety while streamlining operations for our team. These new barriers are a game-changer, reflecting our commitment to modernising traffic management and staying ahead in 2025.

What Makes the Slimstack Barrier Exceptional?

The Slimstack Barrier is modern take on the traditional roadside/ pedestrian barrier. Designed to be lighter and more compact, these barriers offer several key benefits:

  • Space-Saving Design: Compared to traditional barriers, the Slimstack is both physically slimmer and significantly lighter. This allows our operatives to fit twice as many barriers on their vans, maximising efficiency during transport and deployment.
  • Professional Appearance: Each barrier is embossed with our Paragon logo, enhancing the professional look of our work sites and making them far less appealing to theft.
  • Easier Handling for Operatives: The reduced weight makes the barriers much easier to manage, requiring fewer trips to and from the van. This not only saves time but also reduces the amount of time operatives spend working on the roadside, directly contributing to their safety.

Enhanced Safety for Operatives and the Public

Safety is at the core of our company ethos, embodied in our motto: “Safety By Choice, Not By Chance.” The Slimstack Barrier significantly reduces the physical strain on operatives and decreases the risks associated with handling heavier, bulkier equipment. Fewer trips to the roadside mean less exposure to passing traffic, enhancing safety for everyone involved.

The barriers’ durability and design also provide a secure and reliable solution for managing traffic and protecting pedestrians, ensuring that every worksite we manage meets the highest safety standards.

A Sustainable and Strategic Investment

The Slimstack Barrier isn’t just about functionality—it’s also a step towards sustainability. The lighter design and compact stacking reduce the environmental footprint of transporting barriers, leading to fewer trips and lower fuel consumption. This aligns with our commitment to reducing carbon emissions across our operations.

Rolling Out Success Nationwide

Following a successful initial rollout from our Scunthorpe head office, the Slimstack Barrier is already making waves across our operations. Feedback from operatives has been overwhelmingly positive, with many praising the system’s ease of use and practical benefits. Clients, too, have taken notice, highlighting the barriers’ fantastic appearance and the enhanced safety they bring to work sites.

With such strong results, we’re rolling out these barriers to all our depots across the UK. As our older barriers become unserviceable, they will be phased out in favour of the Slimstack system, ensuring that this forward-thinking solution becomes our standard nationwide.

Setting the Standard for 2025 and Beyond

This investment is part of a broader strategy to make 2025 a standout year for Paragon Traffic Management. From the cutting-edge Slimstack Barriers to our fleet of new bespoke vans, every step we take is focused on delivering better solutions for our clients, improving safety for our operatives, and reducing our environmental impact.

At Paragon, we’re not just keeping up with industry standards—we’re setting them. The Slimstack Barrier is yet another example of how we’re leading the way in modern traffic management, ensuring that our clients receive the best possible service and solutions.
