Two barricade systems
Crowd Control Barricade Rental Barriers
We rent two galvanized-steel crowd-control systems for a moving Champaign crowd, and because lightweight plastic drifts, we offer a heavy-duty barrier built to federal barricade specifications, ensuring this steel line stays in place regardless of the pressure. Choose by crowd intensity.
16-Gauge Steel, 21 welded uprights, and 1.5-inch tube frames, built for the front row.
Interlocking Bike-Rack Barricades
These steel panels link together to form a rigid line. Featuring the classic "hook-and-loop" mechanism, this bike-rack barricade needs no drilling for festivals or 5Ks. Call (866) 330-0268 to secure your event perimeter today.
Heavy 8-Foot Steel Barricades
This heavy-duty steel barricade is designed for high-pressure crowds or controlled entries. It provides a perimeter that must "hold like a wall," offering a secure, durable barrier for demanding security needs and situations where a strong line is essential.
Our per-section rental rates are $4–$6 per day, $28–$41 per week, or $41–$55 per month, including delivery, site measurement, installation, and final pickup.
Layout planning
Queue, Lane, and Footprint Layouts
Crowd control is a plan, not a pile of steel. Tell us the footprint and the flow and we lay out a barricade run for your Champaign event, hand us the map and say "here's the flow," adding a printed windscreen wrap where sponsors want branding, and ensuring the perimeter stays open where it needs to,
Queue & Entry Control
Modular Pedestrian Crowd Control Barricades manage orderly queue lines to prevent bottlenecks at entry gates.
Traffic Lanes & Channels
Direct pedestrian traffic away from heavy equipment and maintain orderly two-way flow with clear channelized paths.
Parade & Race Routes
We install Pedestrian Crowd Control Barricades for road races and street festivals, then clear the route as needed.
Stage & VIP Protection
A steel line of Concert Barricade sections secures the stage front and keeps crowds away from restricted event zones.
Spec & safety
Weight, Wind Stability, and ADA Gaps
Strong barricades. The wind around Champaign is exactly why our barricades are built heavy, stand on their own, and help keep accessible routes open while reducing trip risks off the ground.
Built to stay put and stay safe
- Hot-dipped galvanized steel resists rust through rain, heat, and repeated event use.
- Freestanding bridge feet spread the weight low and wide, so the run resists wind and crowd pressure without drilling into pavement.
- Toe boards close the ground-level gap so nobody trips at a busy gate or crossing.
- ADA-width gaps planned into the layout keep accessible routes and emergency egress clear.
Type II or Type III — matched to your term
Short-term event or long-term perimeter, we deliver the right fence rating.
Lightweight bike-rack barricades provide quick crowd control for 5Ks and local neighborhood festival events.
Type III Barricade units provide high visibility for extended road-work and are recognized as an FHWA-accepted device.

Common questions
Barricade Rental Questions, Answered
Should I rent bike-rack or heavy 8-foot barricades?
We hear one question most: "which barricade do I actually need?" Interlocking bike-rack lines handle most crowd-direction work like parades or festival lanes because they lock into a freestanding line, but you should step up to the heavy 8-foot steel barrier when the crowd pushes hard, when you are controlling an entry, or when crowd fencing for events must read like a solid wall. Call us today.
How much do crowd control barricades cost to rent?
Barricades rent for $4–$6 per day, $28–$41 per week, or $41–$55 per month. Pricing includes delivery, setup, and pickup with no hidden fees. Longer terms lower your costs, meaning securing a build site perimeter for several weeks is cheaper per section than a single-day festival rental.
Are the barricades ADA compliant and code-right?
Access stays open. We plan ADA-width gaps to maintain accessible routes and emergency egress, install toe boards at high-traffic crossings to prevent trip hazards, provide FHWA-accepted Type III Barricades for work zones, and check what Champaign requires for a specific permit—all while you view our delivery coverage map to coordinate your site setup.
Will they tip over in wind or under a moving crowd?
Galvanized steel stands firm against the heavy winds and blizzards common in Champaign. Our steel barricades interlock on wide bridge feet to disperse pressure across the entire run. We assess wind exposure during site measurement and install to ensure stability. For high-wind sites, call (866) 330-0268 to discuss options.
Do you deliver, set up, and take everything down?
We run the whole job. Our crews handle 24-48 hour delivery and on-site setup to your layout, we deliver barricades across the Champaign metro and the surrounding Champaign area, ensuring everything is "clean and on time," with same-day dispatch for disaster site securing, and full teardown when finished,
