Heras has launched Saros, a electro-mechanical traffic barrier, pictured. The perimeter protection product company says it’s suitable for sites with controlled vehicle entry, such as commercial car parks and industrial site entrances. Heras says the product has been developed to meet all market-led functionality and safety requirements.
Saros can withstand harsh external conditions, the makers add, making it suitable for areas such as coastal regions or other places that are prone to strong winds, as testing, analysis and calculations has confirmed.
The 4m model – even with the arm in a raised position – can withstand wind class 3, which is categorised as a violent storm with wind speeds more than 70mph. And, the 6m version can withstand wind class 2, which is categorised as a storm with wind speeds approaching 60mph. The product joins electro-mechanical barriers B411, B420 and 94x Series.
Heras Product Manager Jonathan Broughton said that the Saros has demonstrable longevity, operating reliably over long periods, meaning there is no limitation to the number of operations it can perform. This makes it a barrier for busy locations, he said. Also complying with the latest safety standards, the barrier can provide a plug and play solution that is safe, robust and reliable, he added.
“Saros is a unique product to Heras and was developed after extensive research, investigation, design, development and testing. The product came alive because of the work of Heras’ own Product and Development department.”
The company’s product offering covers five areas: demarcation products, entrance control products, detection products, integrated systems, and service and maintenance. The company recently launched its next perimeter intrusion detection systems (PIDSs). They can be used on sites with specific security and perimeter protection requirements – such as warehouses and distribution centres with high-value stockholding. Its new GeoMic and GeoPoint systems – which both have pro versions – are designed to complement the overall effectiveness of existing and newly specified perimeter protection fence and gate lines, the company adds.
