New Road Blocker Design A Smash Hit For Heald
Manufacturer of vehicular security products, Heald, are proud to announce their new 900mm high raised security Crash Tested Roadblocker. Not only capable of disabling a 7.5 tonne truck at 50 mph (80kph), the new road blocker received minimal damage and remained fully operational after impact.
(PRWEB) September 21, 2006 -- After intensive research, design and testing, Heald are proud to announce a new addition to their range of Crash Tested Roadblockers. Liaising closely with the British Government, the tests were undertaken at the UK'S Transport Research Laboratory (TRL) against Heald's new 900mm high raised security road blocker. The first test was conducted using an empty 18 tonner (weighing 7.5 tonnes) travelling at 80 kph (50 mph). The automated road blocker disabled the vehicle upon impact and received minimal damage, remaining fully operational after removal of the front radius plate.
The radius was replaced and a further test was carried out with a standard 7.5 tonne truck at a speed of 80 kph (50 mph). The road blocker brought the vehicle to a complete halt with nil penetration and continued normal operation after impact. Both tests were carried out to the impact criteria of the soon to be launched PAS 68 British Standard and in energy terms exceed the American Department of State K12 rating (this being 6.8 tonnes at 80 kph/ 50 mph).
The key to Heald's complete success in both tests lie in the unique design of the road blocker.
Specially constructed integral impact absorbers and a removable front radius plate are incorporated into the heavy duty construction, these draw most of the impact away from the main body of the road blocker helping to disperse the energy within the front face and so alleviate impact damage to the surrounding outer fabrication and concrete foundation. The front radius plate can be quickly and easily replaced whilst the road blocker is in the raised position, thus maintaining site security at all times.
No reinforcing of concrete is necessary and no pre-casting of the pit is required, enabling fitting to be completed within one day.
This is Heald's ultimate high security access control system. The Heald Automatic Hydraulic Crash Rated Roadblocker is designed to withstand repeated impact and to still operate afterwards, maintaining site security at all times.
Heald's HCR4M900RB/P68 is THE answer to today's hostile vehicle threat.
