The TRAPEX barrier fence consists of modular sections of 1.5 meter lengths each. These modular sections can be mounted onto the barrier pole in series to make up the length required.
-
Place the mounting bar onto the boom pole 330mm away from the edge.
-
Mark and centre punch at least three hole positions per TRAPEX module for drilling.
Keep note of orientation. Holes must be facing away from the direction of traffic. TRAPEX must be installed on the opposite side of the LED strip. -
Drill 5mm holes.
Holes must be drilled through only one wall of the boom pole. -
Fasten the TRAPEX module to the boom pole using pop rivets.
-
Repeat steps 2 to 4 on the next TRAPEX module ensuring that the mounting bar lines up with the previous one.
On barriers fitted with a 3m boom pole, the last module of the TRAPEX barrier fence will extend past the end of the boom pole, and may be trimmed if required. -
Join the bottom of the TRAPEX modules by inserting half of a module joiner into the end of the first horizontal cross-bar, and then inserting the other half of the module joiner into the horizontal cross-bar of the next TRAPEX module.
-
Mark and center punch two hole positions on each side of the module joiner for drilling.
-
Drill four 5mm holes.

Replace the plug to hold the TRAPEX linkage assembly in place.
