Vehicle Wedge Barrier System
Vehicle Wedge Barriers
Vehicle wedge barriers are advanced security devices featuring a distinctive wedge-shaped design that effectively stops and redirects high-speed vehicles. The system consists of a heavy-duty steel plate that can be rapidly raised or lowered through hydraulic or mechanical actuation systems, providing dynamic security control while maintaining normal traffic flow when lowered.
Vehicle wedge barriers represent the pinnacle of modern perimeter security, designed to prevent unauthorized vehicle access and protect critical infrastructure from hostile vehicle attacks. These vehicle barrier systems combine robust engineering with rapid deployment to create an impenetrable defense. A heavy-duty steel plate system can be rapidly raised from a reinforced concrete foundation to stop a threat from passing the barrier, or a hydraulic or mechanical actuation system can lower it to allow normal traffic flow.
