What Hamilton hires
Most of it is a perimeter, and a post will not hold one.
The briefs that come out of this city are gates, fence lines and stage fronts more often than they are queues, and that decides the equipment before the count does. A belt post marks a route and is meant to be stepped over by anyone determined to; it is the right tool inside a building and the wrong one at a gate where a crowd builds against it. Steel barricade interlocks into a continuous run that holds its shape under pressure, and a stage barrier is a different item again — braced, with a base plate that lies forward under the crowd and a step behind it for staff.
Interlocking steel for the gate line
Galvanized barricade that hooks section to section, so a run stays a run instead of becoming a row of separate panels.
Stage barrier for the front
A braced aluminium section with a perforated front panel, a forward base plate and a step behind it. Sections bolt to one another along the front.
Belt posts inside the building
Concourses, box offices and accreditation. Indoors the queue is the job again and the post is the right answer for it.
Where we deliver
The lower city, the mountain and the towns around it.
Barricade goes out stacked and comes back stacked, so the drop is planned around where a truck can get close and where the run actually starts. Delivery, setup and collection are quoted on their own lines; a perimeter of any length is usually a setup job, because a run that is laid out in the wrong direction has to be walked back section by section.

Deliveries go to the places a Hamilton crowd is actually held:
- the stadium and its gate approaches
- the arena and the concert hall downtown
- the convention floors on the lower city core
- the waterfront parks and the pier
- the conservation areas and the falls along the escarpment
- the campus grounds and the agricultural fairgrounds
Tell us where the trailer can stand and which way the crowd arrives, and the run is dropped so it can be built in the direction it will be used.
Worth asking
What a Hamilton brief usually asks first.
- Is there a price list for stanchions in Hamilton, or only for barricades?
- The posts have a published rate: a black post with retractable belt or a gold post with velvet rope costs $19 a day, $29 for three days and $39 a week. Galvanized barricades and stage barrier are quoted against the length of the perimeter, and the truck, the crew and the pickup are priced as lines of their own.
- What is the difference between a barricade and a stage barrier?
- A barricade is a free-standing steel section that interlocks with its neighbours and is used for gate lines, fence runs and perimeters. A stage barrier is built for pressure from the front: an aluminium section about a metre wide and a little over a metre high, with a perforated front panel on a braced frame, a base plate that lies forward under the crowd and a step behind it for staff. They are different items on the order and they are not interchangeable.
- Can a barricade line be branded?
- Yes — printed covers fit over the front of a barricade section and turn a fence line into a run of sponsor panels. Covers are made for the order, so the artwork goes in with the brief. They also change how the line behaves in wind, which is worth saying out loud when the run is outdoors and exposed.
- Do you supply for a run on grass or gravel?
- Yes, and it changes what is sent. Steel barricade stands on its own feet and copes with uneven ground; belt posts on a park lawn need a heavier base than the same post uses on a floor, and that base is a separate item on the order rather than an accessory to the post. Say what the ground is when you send the brief.
- How does a long perimeter get quoted?
- By the length of the run and the number of gaps in it, rather than by the number of sections, because the gates and the corners are what decide how the line is built. Send a rough outline of the area and where people come in and out, and the count comes back against that.
