FRONTIER PITTS SUCCESSFULLY CRASH TESTS THE NEW TERRA ROAD CLOSER, STOPPING 7500kg TRAVELLING AT 80km/hour.

The Terra Road Closer, a horizontally opened, reinforced hinged beam, was crash tested in accordance with PAS 68-69 2007 standards and Department of State test standard SD-STD-2.01 Revision A, Certification Class K12.

The test was conducted to prove the arresting capability of the Terra Road Closer when impacted with a 7500kg test vehicle at a speed of 80km/hour (50mph).

The Terra Road Closer is available to secure apertures of up to 4500mm.
The manually operated hinged beam can be automated using either our Trojan surface mounted or Trojan underground actuators.
In the closed position the beam can be securely locked using a powered locking bolt and a high security Gate Shield locking device.
The hinged pin which allows the beam to swing open can be manufactured in lengths of 75-100mm.
For added security a solid skirt can be mounted to the beam, creating a hinged gate.

A latch back post comes as standard with the Terra Road Closer to allow the beam to be locked whilst in the opened position. Positioned back from the gate, the beam can be locked to the post again using a high security Gate Shield locking device or a Class 2 padlock.
