Heald Roadblocker stops 30 tonne truck travelling at 50mph and continues to operate afterwards
(16/06/2009)
Following the recent crash tests on their HCR4M1200RB in line with the British Standard PAS68, Heald have announce the success of another test.
Tested at MIRA, the Roadblocker was impacted with a 30 tonne truck travelling at 50mph and not only withstood the impact with zero penetration but also operated afterwards. This is the third test that this particular Roadblocker has successfully undertaken and to the highest PAS68 specification currently available.
This is the only Road blocker of its kind that has passed both PAS 68 (30 tonnes/ 50MPH) and holds the Department of State K12 certification.
The design of the Road blocker is the key to its success. Special crash bars and a sacrificial front radius are incorporated into the design so upon impact these help absorb the force and leave the main body of the blocker intact, maintaining site security. The Roadblocker therefore remains a formidable barrier against vehicular threat .
The Road blocker requires no reinforcement of concrete or pre casting of the pit ensuring minimal disruption to the site and surrounding area.
