​Product Overview​

The ​​JOESCO QS2 HESCO barrier is a compact, highly portable solution designed for scenarios where space is limited but rapid protection is critical. With dimensions of 0.60 meters in length, 0.60 meters in width, and 1.20 meters in height, this 2-cell unit combines agility with robust performance. Its smaller footprint allows for quick deployment in constrained areas, such as urban checkpoints or narrow construction sites, without sacrificing the structural integrity characteristic of larger HESCO barriers. Made from Galfan-coated steel mesh and a durable geotextile liner, the QS2 can be filled with on-site materials like sand or gravel, providing immediate ballistic resistance and erosion control. Weighing only 25 kg when empty, it can be handled by two personnel without heavy machinery, making it ideal for rapid response operations.

​Key Features & Applications​

  1. ​Rapid Deployment & Portability​
    • ​2-Cell Design​​: Enables fast unfolding and filling—typically under 3 minutes per unit.
    • ​Lightweight Logistics​​: Ships flat-packed; 20+ units fit on a standard pallet for efficient transport to remote locations.
    • ​Use Cases​​: Ideal for creating instant vehicle checkpoints, securing event perimeters, or stabilizing small slopes in residential areas.
  2. ​Versatile Threat Mitigation​
    • ​Crowd & Vehicle Management​​: Acts as a non-lethal barrier to direct pedestrian or low-speed vehicular traffic (e.g., stops 1.5-ton vehicles at 30 km/h).
    • ​Erosion Control​​: Effectively manages water runoff on hillsides or riverbanks when stacked in terraced formations.
    • ​Temporary Worksite Safety​​: Isolate hazardous zones during minor construction or utility repairs.
  3. ​Cost-Effective Durability​
    • ​Reusable Design​​: After events or floods, clean and redeploy the barriers multiple times, reducing long-term costs by 50% compared to single-use alternatives.
    • ​Low Maintenance​​: Galvanized steel resists rust in moderate climates, ensuring a 10+ year lifespan with minimal upkeep.

​Why Choose the QS2?​

The QS2 excels in situations where larger barriers are impractical. For example, during public events, it can be arranged swiftly to create orderly queues, or in flood-prone neighborhoods, it can be stacked to form short-term water diversion channels. Its simplicity allows community volunteers or small teams to install it without specialized training. As a JOESCO product, it benefits from the company’s decades of experience in supplying military and civil defense solutions worldwide.
