The IWA 14 Terra 180 degree swing barrier from Frontier Pitts is a bi-directional HVM (Hostile Vehicle Mitigation) barrier which has been impact-tested to the new International IWA14 specification.
The sleek, manually operated barrier is suitable the makers say for access points which need to be secured with occasional access, out of hours security, or remote locations with power supply restrictions. The new IWA 14-1 specification requires a product to stop a 7.2 tonne vehicle travelling at 30mph (48kph) within the aperture. The Terra is available with right or left hand hinging, hence the impact beam can be opened in either direction depending on site requirements. The product can be installed in a shallow foundation embedment depth of just 350mm, and can secure entrances up to 6m wide. The barrier is secured by an anti-tamper locking mechanism which encases the gate’s locking pin and is resistant from attack by an array of hand tools and battery-powered tools, the makers add.
