Product Spotlight: Plasticade Lo-Pro™ Airport Barricade
When it comes to airport safety — whether closing runways or taxiways, delineating work zones, or protecting crews and equipment — you need barriers that meet strict regulatory requirements while being practical on the ground. The Plasticade Lo-Pro™ Airport Barricade delivers exactly that: a low-profile, water-ballasted, highly visible barrier that’s built to perform in demanding airfield environments.
Why the Lo-Pro™ Barricade Stands Out
- FAA-ready airfield design The Lo-Pro Barricade is engineered specifically for airfield use, making it ideal for runway and taxiway closures, temporary work zones, and airport maintenance projects that demand high visibility and reliable performance.
- Low-profile, high-visibility silhouette At just 10 inches high, this barricade maintains a low profile that’s perfect for airfields, while its bright orange body and optional high-intensity reflective sheeting ensure it stands out day or night.
- Water-fill stability with easy deployment Weighing only about 25 lbs when empty, the Lo-Pro is easy to move, set, and reposition. Fill it with water (up to approximately 26 gallons / 220 lbs) and it becomes a stable, secure barrier that resists wind and disturbance from passing ground equipment.
- Interlocking, pivoting connections Molded-in connectors allow multiple barricades to link together without loose pins. Each unit can pivot from 90° to 180°, so you can form straight runs, curves, or angled layouts to match your exact airfield configuration.
- Accessory-ready for lights and flags The Lo-Pro is compatible with 360° screw-in airport lights and other barricade lights, and includes mounts for warning flags. This makes it easy to enhance visibility in low-light conditions or highlight active construction zones.
- Durable, FOD-safe construction Built from heavy-duty, reinforced plastic with molded ribs, the barricade is designed for long-term airport use without creating foreign object debris (FOD) — a critical factor in any airfield environment.

Why Airports and Contractors Choose Lo-Pro™
When safety and compliance matter — especially under the strict standards of airport operations — the Plasticade Lo-Pro™ Airport Barricade combines visibility, versatility, and durability in a solution that’s easy to deploy and manage. The water-ballast design makes these barricades light enough to position when empty and heavy enough to stay put once filled. Interlocking, pivotable connections give you the flexibility to follow curves, create corners, or run long straight lines, while optional reflective sheeting and light/flag mounting capability help ensure your closures and work zones are clearly marked in all conditions. For airport operators, ground crews, and contractors performing work on or near active airfields, the Lo-Pro™ Airport Barricade is a smart investment in safety and compliance.Equip Your Airfield with Proven Barricades
