A K rating is a Crash Test Certification issued by the Department of State (DOS) to any fence, gate, bollard, or barrier, which indicates how the barrier reacts to a vehicle of a specific weight at a particular speed. Essentially, the K crash ratings indicate the stopping power of a barrier. The crash ratings indicate something specifically for each gate and are communicating to people designing security barriers what they can expect.

When it comes to keeping your high security facility safe, there are many important steps that you will need to take. While there are many things you can do on the interior of a building or facility to bolster your security, the perimeter is equally if not more important to keep safe. So what steps can you take in order to ensure the best possible security available to you? Hercules High Security has the answer: maximum security fencing.
Fencing comes in a wide variety of materials and styles, but only select types are strong enough to qualify as maximum security fencing. Crash-rated fences, specifically, are designed to keep out not only intruders, but vehicles. If a vehicle were to attempt to break down a normal, everyday fence by crashing through it, it would end up doing a lot of damage to the fence and your perimeter’s security would be compromised. However, with a crash-rated fence, you avoid this issue. Crash-rated fences come with different “K-ratings,” with the K12 rating being the highest, and therefore the mot effective maximum security fencing. A K12 is reinforced to sustain both high impact and high speed from a vehicle; it will be able to stop a 15,000 pound vehicle traveling at up to 50 miles per hour and keep your facility secure.
Maximum security fencing is not only characterized by its ability to stop incoming vehicles, but also by its security integration measures. With Hercules Fence, your high security fencing installation can include the installation of specialty turnstiles and guard booths. This extra security measures will bolster your facility’s overall safety, which is crucial to many government groups.

A fence can serve a variety of purposes depending on its location. For the residential home, a fence might beautify and add curb appeal. For a commercial district, a fence might prevent intruders from climbing in. But for your high security facility, you need to be aware of the multitude of risks you and your colleagues may face that will not be addressed by just any fence. A crash-rated fence might be the key to you and your facility’s safety.
Intruders don’t always go about things subtly. If they are aware that your electronic security system would pick up on any suspicious activity, they might bypass that altogether and attempt to use vehicles to crash through your security fence and gain access to restricted areas. Or, it could simply be that you’re aware of the risk anyone takes on the road and want to keep your facility safe in the event of a car accident that might cause a normal fence to be damaged.
Investing in a crash-rated fence ensures the highest level of safety and security you could ask for. Crash-rated fences can withstand the weight and velocity of vehicles, keeping the fence intact on impact. K4, K8, and K12-rated fences are your strongest options in crash-rated security.
