The Rapid Stop Barrier is a completely freestanding, modular system that stops intentional and accidental vehicle intrusion into crowded or restricted areas, whilst allowing pedestrian movement. The system is efficient to transport and deploy, and does not require anchoring.
- Portable protection for pedestrian dense areas, events and worksites
- Proven to safely stop vehicles impacting from any angle
- Allows for pedestrian movement
- Fully crash tested with a 2,270kg/5000lbs pickup travelling at 60kmh/35mph (MASH compliant)
- Non-lethal to occupants of impacting vehicle
Innovative Crowd Protection at Events
Innovative and unique, the Rapid Stop Barrier has been designed to offer superior and portable protection for events. Proven to stop out of control vehicles, the Rapid Stop Barrier increases the safety of crowds and assets from the threat of errant or hostile vehicles. Rapid Stop is a must for event security in high density pedestrian areas at risk of vehicle intrusion.
Major events take place every year and draw huge crowds of people. Unfortunately, such events can be a target for terrorism as well as being difficult to protect and evacuate in case of other emergencies. In other cases, events can require road closures, with the need to maintain pedestrian access. Errant or out of control vehicles can also be the cause of accidents in such scenarios.
The Rapid Stop Barrier is the perfect solution; it stops vehicles in their tracks and is fully portable.
Compared with traditional longitudinal barrier systems, which prevent movement of pedestrians, the Rapid Stop Barrier is a great solution for event applications.
Work Zone Area Protection
The Rapid Stop Barrier is engineered to improve safety of workers during road maintenance and construction projects. It has been successfully crash tested to meet MASH testing criteria, and is an affordable and efficient option to create positive protection for workzones.
Many construction and road projects take place on busy roads, relying on traffic cones or plastic bollards to deter traffic. Unfortunately, this practice leaves many workers exposed to the danger of vehicle intrusion into the worksite.
Rapid Stop Barrier is designed to bring an impacting vehicle to a slow controlled stop when hit from any angle. This prevents the errant vehicle from entering a work area, ensuring the safety of workers. Its design also promotes the safety of people inside the impacting vehicle, unlike traditional temporary barriers.
Compared with traditional longitudinal barrier systems, which prevent movement of roadworkers, and that are not crash tested from a variety of angles or to ensure the safety of vehicle occupants, the Rapid Stop Barrier is a great solution for worksite protection.
