Plastic Crowd Control Barriers and Event Barricades
MOVIT® plastic crowd control barriers provide a lightweight, rust-free alternative to traditional galvanized steel barricades. Their full-size interlocking design is well suited to schools, stadiums, municipalities, parks, attractions, event companies and commercial properties that regularly create temporary pedestrian routes or restricted areas.
Each MOVIT® barrier is molded as a single piece with permanently attached feet. There are no separate bases to install, remove or lose during transportation and storage. At approximately 24 pounds per unit, MOVIT® barriers are considerably easier for many employees to deploy and recover than conventional steel crowd control barricades.
Available colors include blue, green, orange, red, white and yellow. Organizations can select one color, coordinate barriers with a property or school color scheme, or combine colors to identify different entrances, operating areas or event functions.
MOVIT® Full-Size Plastic Crowd Control Barriers
MOVIT® barriers are manufactured from recyclable polypropylene and designed for indoor and outdoor pedestrian-control applications. Multiple units interlock to create a continuous barrier line, while their staggered-foot design allows them to stack closely when stored.
The full-size 78-inch length provides substantial coverage without the additional handling weight of many steel barricades. MOVIT® barriers can also connect with the shorter MINIT™ barrier to create layouts using more than one section length.
MOVIT® Features
- Full-size coverage: Approximately 78 inches wide and 39 inches high.
- Lightweight handling: Approximately 24 pounds per barrier.
- One-piece construction: Barrier body and feet are molded as one unit.
- No loose feet: Permanently attached feet cannot be misplaced during setup or storage.

XTENDIT® Plastic Barrier Extensions
XTENDIT® extensions connect with MOVIT® and MINIT™ barriers to lengthen selected barricade layouts without placing another full-size barrier at every position.
These lightweight extensions may help reduce the number of complete barricades required for low-pressure pedestrian boundaries, school loading areas, event perimeters and other appropriate applications.
XTENDIT® extensions are available in colors designed to coordinate with MOVIT® and MINIT™ barriers, subject to current availability.
XTENDIT® Specifications
- Approximate length: 61 inches / 1.55 meters
- Approximate height: 10.4 inches / 26.5 centimeters
- Approximate weight: 7.6 pounds / 3.5 kilograms
- Available colors: Blue, green, orange, red, white and yellow
- Compatibility: Designed for MOVIT® and MINIT™ barrier systems
- Pricing: Contact Boulevard Supply for current pricing and availability
XTENDIT® extensions are not intended to replace a full-height barricade in every position. Their suitability depends on the expected pedestrian pressure, layout, wind exposure and required boundary height.
MOVIT®, MINIT™ and XTENDIT® Comparison
| Product | Approximate Size | Approximate Weight | Primary Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| MOVIT® | 78″ W x 39″ H | 24 lbs | Full-size pedestrian boundaries, events, schools, venues and commercial properties |
| MINIT™ | 49″ W x 39″ H | 15.4 lbs | Short openings, narrow areas and mixed-length barrier layouts |
| XTENDIT® | 61″ L x 10.4″ H | 7.6 lbs | Extending appropriate barrier layouts between full-height sections |
Plastic Barricades Compared with Steel Barricades
Plastic and steel barricades each have appropriate uses. MOVIT® barriers are generally preferred where portability, corrosion resistance, color selection and frequent handling are important. Steel barricades may be more appropriate where substantially greater mass or resistance to crowd pressure is required.
| Consideration | MOVIT® Plastic Barriers | Galvanized Steel Barricades |
|---|---|---|
| Handling Weight | Approximately 24 pounds each | Generally heavier, depending on model |
| Corrosion | Plastic body will not rust | May corrode if the protective finish is damaged |
| Feet | Permanently molded into the barrier | Design varies by manufacturer and model |
| Color Selection | Multiple bright and property-friendly colors | Typically galvanized silver or painted finishes |
| Appearance | Suitable for schools, campuses, attractions and guest-facing properties | Traditional industrial and event-security appearance |
| Heavy Crowd Pressure | Intended primarily for pedestrian guidance and temporary boundaries | Often preferred for higher-pressure crowd applications |
Expected crowd pressure, security requirements, wind exposure, surface conditions and vehicle traffic should always be considered before selecting a barrier system.

Planning a Plastic Barricade Layout
Measure the total area before determining the number of barriers required. Remember to account for connections, corners, entrances, exits and intentional openings.
Also consider:
- Expected pedestrian volume
- Indoor or outdoor deployment
- Wind and weather exposure
- Surface conditions
- Emergency and service access
- Accessible pedestrian routes
- Storage space between uses
- Available employees for setup and recovery
- Whether MOVIT® and MINIT™ sizes should be combined
- Whether XTENDIT® extensions are appropriate for part of the layout
- Color and identification requirements
Plastic barricades should not be positioned where they obstruct required exits, emergency routes, accessible pathways or vehicle visibility. Final placement remains the responsibility of the facility and its designated safety personnel.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a MOVIT® plastic barrier weigh?
According to the current manufacturer information, each MOVIT® barrier weighs approximately 24 pounds.
How much does a MINIT™ barrier weigh?
Each MINIT™ barrier weighs approximately 15.4 pounds. It may also be described as approximately 16 pounds when rounded.
Do MOVIT® barriers require separate feet?
No. The feet are molded into the one-piece barrier body and remain permanently attached. This eliminates separate components that could be lost during transportation, setup or storage.
Do MOVIT® and MINIT™ barriers connect together?
Yes. MOVIT® and MINIT™ barriers can be combined to create layouts using both full-size and compact barrier sections.
Will plastic barriers rust?
No. The polypropylene barrier body will not rust. Routine inspection is still recommended for signs of damage, excessive wear or improper placement.
Can these barriers be used outdoors?
Yes. MOVIT® and MINIT™ barriers are suitable for many indoor and outdoor applications. Long-term appearance and performance will depend on sunlight, climate, wind exposure, handling and storage practices.
Can I order more than one color?
Mixed-color orders may be available. Color inventory, production schedules and any applicable minimum quantities should be confirmed when requesting a quote.
Can a logo be added to the barriers?
The centered display area may accommodate an approved logo, organization name or other graphic. Artwork and project requirements should be submitted for review.
Are plastic barriers suitable for controlling vehicles?
These products are primarily intended for pedestrian guidance and temporary visual boundaries. They are not vehicle-impact barriers and should not be represented or used as crash-rated protection.
Are they suitable for heavy crowd pressure?
Plastic barriers are useful for many pedestrian-routing and temporary-boundary applications. Locations involving aggressive crowd pressure, high-security requirements or significant pushing forces may require steel barricades or another engineered barrier system.
How many plastic barriers will I need?
Measure the total linear footage and identify required entrances, exits, corners and openings. Boulevard Supply can help estimate quantities after receiving the layout dimensions and intended application.
