THE TEST
The test was conducted to prove the arresting capability of a Frontier Pitts Terra Blocker when impacted with a 7500kg test vehicle at a speed of 80km/hour (50mph). In accordance with PAS 68-69 2007 and the Department of State test standard SD-STD-2.01 Revision A, Certification Class K12, an international 4700 DT466E lorry was used to act as the test vehicle, loaded with concrete blocks and fitted with test sensors, to meet the demanding specifications for this test laid down by the DOS.

On impact the Terra Blocker 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 Blocker remains fully functional and the operating mechanism continued to raise and lower.
The Terra Blocker surpassed the standards for PAS 68-69 2007 and the Department of State Certification, and continue to operate immediately after the impact, especially without needing repair.
