Stop Traffic with Crash-Rated Barriers

Thursday, December 11th, 2014

Your top security facility needs all the safety precautions it can get, and in a high-traffic area, this becomes all the more important. While fences and bollards can certainly serve their purposes, you may need the additional help of a crash-rated barrier. Read on to discover more about this security measure and how it has been proven to stop traffic in its tracks!

Crash-rated barriersCrash-Rated Barriers Keep Out Unauthorized Vehicles

Depending on the specific level of security you think will best suit your needs, you have a wide range of crash-rated barrier options. Like crash-rated fences, barriers adhere to the K-rating system, a system created by the U.S. State Department which assigns different numbers to barriers of different strengths. These include:

–K4 Barriers: These barriers can stop a vehicle weighing up to 15,000 pounds and traveling up to 30 miles per hour.

–K8 Barriers: These barriers can stop a vehicle weighing up to 15,000 pounds and traveling up to 40 miles per hour.

–K12 Barriers: These barriers can stop a vehicle weighing up to 15,000 pounds and traveling up to 50 miles per hour.

This standardized crash-rating system ensures that you are able to pick the right crash-rated barrier for your facility. Alternative options, such as barrier arms and anti-ram barriers, also work to keep out traffic and intruders using vehicles to infiltrate your facility. From military forts to government buildings, crash-rated barriers are an ideal way to provide an extra layer of security where you need it most.

Crash Rated Gates Won’t Be Your Facility’s Weak Point

Thursday, December 4th, 2014

A high security fence is the best way to keep out trespassers and vehicles because it forms a solid barrier around the entirety of your facility. Or, at least, most of the entirety; you will still need a point of entry so that those individuals who are cleared to do so may access the building. But by having a gate installed in your high security fence line, are you not automatically creating a weak point that intruders can try to target? Not if you have a crash rated gate installed by Hercules High Security- read on to find out more!

crash rated gateCrash Rated Gates Pair with High Security Fencing

A crash rated gate is more than just an access point built in to your perimeter fence. It is, in and of itself, and extra security measure. A typical gate would potentially be a weak point, given that by nature it is not as impenetrable as a section of fence is. But crash rated gates are different. Like crash rated fencing, these gates are designed to stop moving vehicles that might try to ram through them in order to gain access to your facility. The K-rating system comprises gates that can withstand the impact of a 15,000 pound vehicle traveling at speeds up to 50 miles per hour. If they can do that, keeping out an intruder on foot should be a breeze!

Crash rated fences allow your qualified employees in while keeping everyone else out. For more information about having a crash rated fence installed, get in touch with us today!
