Frequently asked questions
- What is a crash-rated barrier?
- A crash-rated barrier is a tested security barrier certified to stop a vehicle of a given weight at a given speed. Common ratings are M30 and M50 under ASTM F2656, formerly known as K-ratings.
- What is the difference between M30 and M50 ratings?
- Both ratings stop a 15,000 lb vehicle. M30 certifies the stop at 30 mph and M50 at 50 mph, so M50 suits higher-threat perimeters such as government and critical infrastructure sites.
- Are crash-rated slide gates available?
- Yes. Crash-rated slide gates such as StrongSlide M30 combine a rated barrier with slide-gate operation for vehicle entries that need both throughput and hostile vehicle protection.
- Should I use bollards or a barrier arm for protection?
- Fixed or removable crash bollards suit pedestrian zones and storefronts. Operable barriers such as wedges and rated arms suit active vehicle entries at airports, data centers, and campuses.
- How fast do wedge barriers deploy?
- Wedge barriers such as HydraWedge SM50 open or close in about 3 seconds, with emergency fast operate for threat response.
