Beam Barricade Protects Sensitive Sites Against Attacking Vehicles
In its crash test, the DSC 7000 vertical lift barricade’s 725-lb. beam stopped a 15,000-lb. vehicle traveling 50 m.p.h. (equivalent to 1.2 million ft.-lbs. of kinetic energy) to meet the K12 certification standard set by the U.S. Department of State. Twelve- to 30-ft. wide barrier protects roadways from attack. Complete line of terrorist vehicle barricade systems includes: beam and wedge barricades; bollards; sliding gates; shallow-foundation, high-security barricades; surface-mounted barricades; and portable barricades. Beam barricades come in hydraulic and manually operated models with clear openings that range from 10.5 ft. to 20 ft. All are crash rated for global applications with 1 version enhanced for use at nuclear power plants. Delta Scientific Corp., Palmdale, CA
