TERRA SLIDING GATE HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY IMPACT TESTED IN BOTH THE HALF OPEN AND FULLY CLOSED POSITIONS. THE TERRA SLIDING GATE STOPPED 7,500kg TRAVELLING AT 50mph (80km/Hour) & CONTINUED TO OPERATE AFTER IMPACT |
The Terra Sliding Gate is the first crash-rated half opened sliding gate on the marketplace to surpass the highest industry standards in the World. The results prove that the gate does not need to be in the fully closed position to withstand an impact.
Frontier Pitts have developed the Terra Sliding Gate to meet the requirements of our customers at Airports, Embassies, Palaces, Government Institutions and Military Bases around the World. The test was conducted to prove the arresting capability of a Frontier Pitts Terra Sliding Gate in the half opened position when impacted with a 7500kg test vehicle at a speed of 50mph (80km/hour). In accordance with BSi PAS 68, which surpasses the requirements of the Department of State test standard SD-STD-2.01 Revision A, Certification Class K12, a European lorry was used to act as the test vehicle and loaded with concrete blocks, to meet the demanding specifications for the test. The DoS standard has now been superseded by the ASTM standard F2656.
On impact the Terra Sliding Gate brought the vehicle to a complete halt with zero penetration onto site or past the impacted face of the unit. After the impact the Terra Sliding Gate remains fully functional and the operating mechanism continued to open and close the gate leaf.
