SAE Systems is the global distributor for RoadBlade, a unique and well known vehicle arresting system used widely throughout the world to protect facilities from hostile vehicles. Unlike some other road blocking systems RoadBlade is able to determine the vehicles intent without unduly risking the occupants. For more detailed information on RoadBlade please visit our dedicated website www.roadblade.co.uk .

RoadBlade is a heavy duty product engineered to be able to withstand the forces of multiple heavy vehicles and it is bi directional. It can be deployed or installed on virtually all terrain due to its load spreading properties. It is equally effective against run flat and self sealing tyres. It can be remotely operated, thereby minimising exposure to the operator and once in place it can be activated and deactivated in seconds. Its is highly durable and designed for low cost maintenance.

RoadBlade is designed to secure perimeters and entrances from terrorist and threat vehicles. It is ideal for military bases and field deployments such as checkpoint security, traffic management, roadblock security, airport security, nuclear power plants, oil refineries and more.

Since its debut on the market, RoadBlade has evolved into an effective method of protection against vehicle borne terrorist threats. RoadBlade International now offers four RoadBlade packages, each having its own strengths. Each one of these systems has the same basic purpose . . . to stop the threat vehicle.

RoadBlade systems start out at a standard length of 3.66m/12 ft, which contain 7 interlocking 50.8cm/20 in modules that can be extended up to 7.62m/25 ft. Each module has 5 stainless steel bi directional retractable blades. The modules themselves are designed to withstand over 50,000kg of force, enabling them to carry high traffic volumes.

When the blades are activated against a threat vehicle (up position), vehicles coming in either direction ignoring the roadbloack will have their tyres deflated quickly. This allows you to completely shut down any traffic control zone where the RoadBlade is deployed. While the blades are inactive (down) vehicles can safely pass over the RoadBlade without any tyre damage. Surface mounted tyre shredders also function as a speed bump when the blades are down, enabling you to control the flow of traffic.Should a vehicle pass over the RoadBlade while the system is active, its tyres will deflate from the 3-4 gashes caused by the blades slicing them. A vehicle is on its rims immediately. RoadBlade is the choice product for many establishments such as Airport's, Embassies, Militray bases etc and is widely used by all these type of end users throughout the world.
