PAS 68 Impact Tested Terra V Gate
FRONTIER PITTS NEW TERRA V GATE HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY IMPACT TESTED TO THE BSi PUBLICLY AVAILABLE SPECIFICATION PAS 68, THE TERRA V GATE STOPPING A 7,500kg VEHICLE TRAVELLING AT 50mph (80km/Hour).
The new high security bi parting hinged gate, was successfully impact tested by TRL Crash Laboratories.
The Terra V Gate remained FULLY FUNCTIONAL after the impact test.
The test was conducted to prove the arresting capability of the Terra V Gate when impacted with a 7500kg test vehicle at a speed of 80km/hour (50mph). In accordance with BSi PAS 68 specification, which exceeds the Department of State K12 test standard, the test vehicle was fitted with test sensors, to meet the demanding standard specifications. The new Terra V Gate is part of the Anti-Terra Series. Other products in the range include the Terra Blocker, the Terra Bollards, Terra Gate, Terra Road Closer (swing arm) and the Terra Barrier (rising arm) which have all been successfully impact tested by TRL. On impact the Terra V Gate brought the vehicle to a complete halt, with zero penetration onto site or past the gate leaves. The cab of the truck was totally crushed. A key feature of the design ensured that all forward energy was absorbed at the front of the equipment and into the shallow foundations on impact. Immediately after the crash, the Terra V Gate’s leaves continued to opened and closed as normal immediately following impact. No other company in the World can offer a product which can surpass the standards for BSi PAS 68, and continue to operate immediately after the impact, especially without needing repair. This is a major breakthrough in high security, anti-terrorist barricades, which was witnessed by CPNI (Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure), formerly NSAC (National Security Advice Centre) plus NICC; the UK Governments Advisory Body for Security.
