The Avon EB950CR Armstrong High Security Drop Arm Gates are crash beam barriers that are crash tested to PAS 68 standard providing a high level of protection where central roadway foundations are not possible / practical.

The High Security anti-terrorist drop arm gate is designed to complement the Avon Barriers range of high security PAS68 vehicle barricades, EB950CR Crash Tested Drop Arm Gates can withstand direct impact forces in excess of 720 KJ crash tested to PAS68, the anti-terrorist beam barrier provides shallow mounted protection to sites from extreme Vehicle Bourne Improvised Explosive Device (VBIED) attack.

High Security Drop Arm Gates was developed by our in-house engineering team using the Company's significant historical expertise in rising arm barrier solutions coupled with the experience of impact resistance theory, the PAS68 High Security EB950CR beam barrier is a highly dependable security product that will easily interface with a wide range of control equipment. The PAS68 crash tested beam barriers are assembled in our fabrication facilities using heavy gauge materials to give maximum strength and durability. This makes the PAS68 Drop Arm Gate a traditional looking control beam barrier with the benefits of high level physical protection.

The EB950CR high security drop arm gate has been independently physically tested in a number of full scale crash tests conducted in accordance with PAS 68 by the Transport Research Laboratory (TRL).

The EB950CR PAS68 drop arm gate is an Electro-Hydraulically operated rising arm beam barrier with arm widths of up to 4.5m span. The  barriers beam sits 1 meter above the roadway and is supported by 2 side support frames. During impact the beam slides into a locked position protecting the main drive mechanism from damage. Raised/Lowered back indication signalling can be provided to enable remote monitoring of the high security drop arm gate status on a real time basis (optional).

The hydraulic power pack is controlled by a programmable controller enabling connection of virtually any access control to the crash beam barrier. In the event of power failure a manual pump is provided to ensure operator control is maintained.

The PAS68 crash tested beam barrier comes with a push-button control as standard, however it can be customised to interface with a wide range of access control equipment to suit specific customer requirements (available as options) and any configuration including (but not limited to) inductive loop systems, card readers and communication equipment can be accommodated.

For safety reasons pedestrians, cyclists and motorcycles are advised not to use a barrier controlled roadway, additional safety measures can be incorporated into the barrier system if required. Where the Security Barrier control point is remote from the installation, we strongly recommend the fitting of a recordable CCTV system, traffic lights and safety inductive loop systems.
