RB4300 - Maximum Security RoadBlade System
A rise in terrorist threats against chemical plants, government facilities, intermodals, ports and more, has resulted in an increased demand for adequate physical security products that are reliable, durable and efficient. The RoadBlade tyre shredding system prevents unauthorised vehicles from entering restricted locations. The RoadBlade slices each tyre on the targeted vehicle, stopping them from proceeding into controlled areas.
The maximum Security RoadBlade is a complete package that includes everything you need to use in both portable or permanent applications. It is ideal for facilities that are planning changes to their access roads or will frequently change the location of the system. The system provides the integration of a permanent unit with the mobility of a portable unit.
The Maximum Security RoadBlade can provide understaffed locations additional security at their perimeter. While the blades are active, the RoadBlade provides personnel with additional tine to verify identification or perform a vehicle check. Should a vehicle attempt to flee the RoadBlade will stop it by slicing 3 to 47.62 cm gashes in all four tyres. The retractable blades will defend against approaching in either direction.
Maximum Security RoadBlade Package
Contains:
1 - Actuator box, 1 – Daisy chain cable, 1 – Logic box, 1 – Control connection cable, 1 – Power cable, 7-50.8cm modules, 1- Portable power supply, 1 – DC neoprene power cable, 1 – AC neoprene power cable, 1 – 4 Button pendant control, 4 – Mil-SPEC cases (63.5cm x 50.8cm x 30.48cm)
The Maximum Security RoadBlade system has a standard length of 3.66 metres and can be extended to a maximum 7.62 metres, per control box. Traction spikes attach to the underside of each module to keep the system in place on dirt or asphalt surfaces. If deployed on concrete surfaces bolting the system to the concrete is required. The Maximum system is designed to handle heavy traffic loads. Multiple systems can be integrated to operate as one by using the daisy chain cable and remote logic box. The Maximum system is unique because it is designed for both permanent and portable deployments. Remove the tractions spikes and it can be anchored to the road surface and left in place for extended periods of time.
