Individual ones with interlocking hooks manufactured with a thirty degree bend and securely welded to the frame prevent the chances of separation and disengagement between individual units. It is recommended that the frame be constructed of sixteen gauge tubing to increase the strength and useful life span. The horizontal or vertical tubes in the center should be firmly inserted and securely welded to the frame to reduce the chances of disengagement and to increase the overall stability.

Many businesses, organizations and industries that use this equipment as part of their crowd control solution should also have access to accessories that add to the fundamental functionality.
