The HT1-VIPER is a shallow mounted roadblocker that`s been tested with great success to the brand new BSI PAS 68. This roadblock is used particularly in places where you can`t excavate the ground very deeply. It can immediately stop a 7.5 ton truck driving at high speeds with zero penetration. It was also proved to be completely operational after impact as well. Having said this, Texas A&M needs to step aside because there is a new top player in town. The player in question is the UK-based company – Heald.
The excavation depth needed for this system to be installed is just 15.7 inches. The system stands 3.4 feet tall when completely raised. You can see it painted in black stripes and bright yellow as standard for good visibility. The HT1-VIPER has been both ASTM and PAS 68 tested to immediately stop a 7.5 tonne big-rig travelling at 50mph. It can be lowered and raised by the push of a button and it`s also available with a monitoring system and Hydra control which delivers unparalleled levels of interaction. This interaction is done through just a very simple, streamlined interface.
Moreover, it can be accessed by tablet, computer or smartphone as well. Heald didn`t fail to surpass themselves again as they have been delivering the world`s most advanced protection against vehicle attacks. Their clients are usually presidential buildings, military sites, embassies, palaces, airports, banks, government buildings, stadia, shopping malls and many more. They are constantly pushing new boundaries with revolutionary new designs so we can`t wait to see what`s new from the British manufacturer.
