Why Specify HySecurity StrongSlide™ M30/M50 Crash-Rated Slide Gates?

Crash-rated protection shouldn’t come at the expense of everyday performance.

When a project requires hostile vehicle mitigation (HVM), specifiers need more than a gate that simply meets a crash rating. The solution must also provide dependable daily operation, efficient installation, long-term durability, and access wide enough to meet the operational needs of the site.

That is where the HySecurity StrongSlide™ M30 and M50 stand apart.

Certified protection with an industry-leading 24-foot clear opening.

StrongSlide delivers independently tested and certified vehicle protection while maintaining one of the most important requirements for a security gate: usable access.

The StrongSlide M30 is ASTM F2656-20 M30-P1 certified, while the StrongSlide M50 is ASTM F2656-20 M50-P2 certified.

That combination gives specifiers a powerful advantage: high-level vehicle mitigation without unnecessarily restricting vehicle access.

Proven HySecurity technology—not a conventional gate with crash hardware added.
StrongSlide was engineered around proven HySecurity technology. The vehicle arrestor incorporates design and materials derived from the StrongArm® M30/M50 crash-rated barrier, while the gate is operated exclusively by the industrial SlideDriver™ II operator.

The result is a purpose-built HVM system rather than simply pairing a standard slide gate with an aftermarket crash component.

Designed for the realities of daily operation.

A crash-rated gate still has to open and close thousands of times without becoming a maintenance burden.

StrongSlide uses a lightweight vehicle arrestor system to reduce overall gate weight and wear. Its steel-frame cantilever construction, bottom-track hardware and side-mounted top track provide smooth operation and stability, including in windy conditions. The system is designed for a 500,000-cycle service life with proper maintenance.

For the owner, that translates into a security solution designed not only to stop a vehicle—but to keep working reliably every day.

Installation is engineered into the system

StrongSlide also addresses a common challenge with HVM installations: getting a complex crash-rated system properly aligned in the field.

A pre-aligned mounting template locates the gate rollers, support posts and arrestor catch bollards. Bolt-down construction simplifies installation and helps maintain proper alignment.

For specifiers, that means fewer opportunities for installation errors and a more straightforward path from design to commissioning.

One system. One manufacturer. One proven technology platform.

StrongSlide brings together the technologies HySecurity has developed across its industrial gate and HVM product lines:

  •  ASTM F2656-20 M30-P1 or M50-P2 crash protection
  • 24-foot tested clear opening
  • StrongArm vehicle arrestor technology
  • SlideDriver™ II industrial hydraulic operation
  • 500,000-cycle design life
  • Pre-aligned installation system
  • Concrete-filled catch bollards
  • Multiple architectural infill options
  • Five-year warranty on both StrongSlide and SlideDriver

Specify the protection—not just the gate.

For data centers, utilities, government facilities, transportation infrastructure, military installations and other high-security environments, the perimeter gate is a critical component of the site's overall security strategy.

StrongSlide M30/M50 gives specifiers a proven way to combine certified hostile vehicle mitigation with reliable everyday access.

When the project calls for a crash-rated slide gate, specify the system engineered specifically for the application:
HySecurity StrongSlide™ M30/M50 — wide-open access, certified crash protection, and industrial-grade performance built into one complete solution.
