FEATURES AND BENEFITS

  • ASTM Crash Rating: M50–P2 per the ASTM F-2656-07 standard
  • High-speed, high-cycle hybrid barrier deploys in under 2 seconds. Ideal for final denial applications, multi-lane access points, and high-security sites including DoD facilities, airports, and transportation hubs.
  • All electric operation. PLC controlled logic.
  • Retractable beam is modular and is easily replaced with less than an hour of downtime after impact. Reduced risk with energy absorption. Decelerates vehicle and allows barrier to “give” upon impact.
  • Fully customizable controls available including wireless and networked options.
  • MUTCD and SDDCTEA approved signs and signal packages available.
