Crash Rated Portable Barriers

The ARMIS ONE's easily foldable blocking segments are a special highlight. They allow controlled passage for emergency vehicles and deliveries. With one folded segment a passage of 3.0 metres width is created - which is wide enough for cars, commercial vehicles and cleaning machines. With two folded segments, the width is 4.9 metres, suitable for trucks and fire engines.

The barrier consists of a base module and removable ramps. The individual modules can be easily and quickly connected with perforated plates. All parts can be stacked to save space for transport and storage.

ADVANTAGES OF ARMIS ONE:

1) Unhindered passage of the barrier for pedestrians, cyclists and wheelchair users (height: only 110mm).

2) Optimum passage and escape route with a width of 1.2 metres between the barrier segments.

3) Easy manual lowering / folding of the blocking segments by only one person for controlled passage of emergency vehicles and deliveries.

4) Individual adaptation and integration into other security systems and local conditions.

5) Surface mounted, simply placed on the ground, no additional anchoring on ground or other fixed points necessary.

6) Supervision- and largely maintenance-free.

7) Vandal-proof and can be used repeatedly.

8) Modules can be moved by forklift trucks.

9) Space-saving, stackable and easy to transport.

**Full scale crash test and certification to IWA 14-1 and ASTM F2656 (7.2t@48km/h) with a penetration depth of 6.6 metres, one of the best test values ever achieved!

Many organizations have the need for easy to install, temporary drop-arm barriers that can install to transitorily close down a roadway to one or two lanes or block parking lot exits to deter thefts.

DSC1500 Portable Beam Barrier sets up quickly and temporarily to block vehicle. It can be towed or unload with lorry crane into position to control vehicle access within 10 minutes. No excavation or sub-surface preparation is required. To remove DSC1500 from its temporary site, it is simply repacked in 10 minutes.

With a clear opening from 3m to 4.8m, the DSC1500 is ASTM M30 certified, able to stop a 15,000pound (6.8T) vehicle going at 30mph (48kph).

The MP5000 is a mobile, crash barrier that can be towed into position by a medium-sized pick-up truck or equivalent and deploys in 15 minutes to stop and disable a 15,000 pound (6.8T) vehicle moving at 50 mph (80.4 kph), an M50 ASTM rating. Both M30 and M40 rated barriers are also available. The MP5000 is available in 12-, 16- and 20-foot openings.

Within 15 minutes of being sited, the MP5000 lowers itself into position with built-in hydraulic jacks. There is no hand cranking. The trailer is stored off to the side completing the deployment. To move the barrier, the procedures are simply reversed. Both the operation of the barrier as well as deployment and retrieval are push-button controlled. A standard system includes a battery-operated power unit, replenished from either a solar array or multiple local low voltage sources.

Optionally, a Hydraulic Power Unit operated on a locally supplied power or full manual system, or combination, is available. Both the locally powered and battery powered hydraulic pumping unit can be sized to provide pass-through rates suitable for most inspection and identification station requirements. The barricade operates at rates between 10–15 seconds for a full up-down cycle. Sustained rates of 40 cycles per hour can be maintained indefinitely, depending on the recharging methods employed.

Certified testing demonstrates that a TB150 portable bollard will stop and disable a 15,000 pound (6,804 kg) vehicle traveling at 50 mph (80.4 kph), resulting in an ASTM M50, P3 rating.

Individual portable bollards provide vehicle barricades in applications such as heavily travelled walkways and roadways or any area that a vehicle can get through. Link TB150 portable bollards together with a cable system and place on a road's surface to create immediate protection for a span of 20 feet (6 m) or larger. They can be installed in conjunction with MP5000 portable barricade to fill in any gaps to protect people and critical infrastructures at public events.

The combination of the portable barriers with the new portable bollards provides fast controlled vehicle access without the time and labor of installation.

The TB150 marks a new standard in crowd protection containing and stopping 1.2 million foot pounds of attacking truck. The portable bollard array requires no foundation or site preparation and can be used for permanent or temporary vehicle control. The bollards can be set up on any stable surface such as concrete, asphalt, compacted soil or vegetation.

No other installation procedures, excavations or sub-surface preparations are required.
