RB4100 - Manual RoadBlade System
Controlling unauthorised traffic from entering restricted roadways, gates, etc. has become a high priority. PMG, Inc. can provide you with adequate physical security in order to prepare for and defend against today's security threats. The RoadBlade tyre shredding system helps you do that by securing your perimeter and stopping the targeted vehicle.
The Manual RoadBlade package contains everything you need for vehicle checkpoints, emergency roadblocks, and random traffic control situations. It requires no electricity, therefore, this system can be deployed anywhere security is needed and the power supply is limited. The manual RoadBlade is ideal for those requiring additional security only when the security threat is high or when the security location may frequently change. It can be deployed in less than five minutes, taking minimal time to increase security.
The operator controls when, and if, the blades are reactivated by pushing on the lever on the control box. Pull back on the lever to lower the blades and lock them in the down position.
