K-rail, delivered to your job

K-rail is the sloped concrete barrier used on road work, lane shifts and lot control. Same product a jersey barrier buyer is asking for, different name, quoted the same way.

What it is

K-rail is what most of the west calls temporary concrete barrier. Order K-rail from us and you get the same sloped face section that a job in Ohio would call a jersey barrier. Nothing about the product changes when the name does.

It goes where traffic has to be shifted, split or kept off a crew: lane closures, paving work, staging and laydown yards, and any lot that keeps getting driven into. It is set and moved by a crew with a boom or a forklift, and it stacks into a straight line fast.

What it is not is a certified vehicle barrier. Nothing we sell is crash rated. If your job requires a rated system, buy one and use K-rail for the static perimeter around it.

What it is used for

Blocks are the other way to hold a static line, and they cost less per foot of wall. If nothing is moving past your barrier, read the block page before you order K-rail.

Getting it to your site

Everything ships on a flatbed, the lower 48 states wide. Freight is quoted to your ZIP because distance, truck count and access are what actually drive it.

You unload with a forklift or telehandler rated for the weight, or you add placement to the quote and we bring the machine. The driver does not unload.

K-rail questions

How fast do I get a real number?
Within the hour during desk hours for a standard order to a ZIP we deliver to. Custom sizes, rentals and purchase orders take a business day because a person prices them by hand.
Are these crash rated?
No. Concrete barriers and blocks are mass. Nothing we sell is crash tested or certified to ASTM F2656 or IWA 14, and we will tell you that on the phone as readily as we print it here. If your job needs a rated system, buy one and use our product for the static perimeter around it.
Is a jersey barrier the same thing as K-rail?
Yes, in practice. K-rail is the western name for the same sloped concrete barrier. Quote either one and you will get the same product.
Do you sell used barriers?
We source used on request. We do not hold used stock, so we will not tell you a yard full of it is waiting. If used is what you want, ask and we will go look.

Tell us the job. We send a number.

Product, count, delivery ZIP and the date you need it. The desk prices it and emails an itemized quote, freight included, within the hour during desk hours.
