Frontier Pitts Terra Hydraulic Barrier crash tested in accordance with BS PAS 68:2007 
(01/07/2007)
Fontier Pitts Terra Hydraulic Barrier, a vertically opened, reinforced boom, has been crash tested in accordance with British standard PAS 68:2007 standards . The test was conducted to prove the arresting capability of the Terra Hydraulic Barrier with a boom length of 4500mm, when impacted with a 7500kg test vehicle at a speed of 65km/hour (40mph).
The BSI PAS 68: 2007 specification requirements are comparable to that required by the Department of State test standard SD-STD-2.01 K8 standard. Installation of the Terra Hydraulic Barrier is in line with BSI PAS 69:2007.
The Terra Hydraulic Barrier is available with a boom length up to 4500mm. A hydraulic motor operates the robust rising arm barrier boom which has a reinforced fixed end rest positioned at either end. In the closed position the boom can be securely locked using a powered magnetic locking bolt.
Key features of the Terra Hydraulic Barrier include a range of operating speeds and secure magnetic locking. For added security full height swivel skirts or lower folding skirts can be mounted to the Terra Hydraulic Barrier boom. Other standard barrier accessories such as boom lights and signage are also available.
The Terra Hydraulic Barrier requires minimal foundation depths of only 300mm, which can be deeper to reduce the surface area, suiting individual requirements.
The Terra Hydraulic Barrier is designed, built and CE marked in the UK to the most stringent international standards. These test results have been witnessed by CPNI, previously NSAC (National Security Advice Centre) and NICC, the UK Governments Advisory Body for Security.
Frontier Pitts have developed the Terra Hydraulic Barrier and the Anti Terra series to meet the requirements of Airports, Embassies, Palaces, Government Estates and Military Bases around the World.
