Shallow Mounted “Ht Raptor” Vehicle Barrier

From the UK specialist engineers, Heald Ltd, we re-introduce the Raptor – part bollard, part roadblock, forming an effective vehicle barrier, but with a foundation depth of only 435 mm into the ground. This revolutionary product has been successfully tested to European PAS68 and ASTM standards receiving triple performance classification of V/7500 80/90:3.3/18.9 /ASTM M50-P1 (zero penetration) and also C40P1. The raptor was useable after the test.

Use:	To prevent planned intrusion by vehicles into high security areas, where deep excavations are not possible or not permitted.
Construction:	The Raptor vehicle barrier generally manufactured from 15mm thick steel plate apart from the top plate of the blocking unit which 10mm thick chequer plate fixed by button head set screws. Cabinet from 3mm thick zinc plated and painted steel with integral lock All manufactured in excess of BS6571 and welding BS4872. Another unique feature is that no pre-casting of the foundation pit is required; just drop the unit into the ground and concrete into position because the Rebar is already attached to the base unit.
Control Functions:	Latest version PLC controllers with in-built safety features and manual release. Facility to link all access and automated systems, fire alarms, and other devices.
Optional Control Functions:	Single direction entry or exit Dual direction entry and exit Push button up-stop-down to be sited in guard house Key selector switch – automatic function/manual/remote Intercom and pedestal Card readers Tickets and cash (not in our remit)
Drive:	The blocking segment raised and lowered by hydraulic operation. The immersed pump, valve block and PLC controller housed in freestanding cabinet. This may be located at any distance from the vehicle barrier; with no restriction on distance (additional cost may apply). Cabinet also to accommodate accumulator if required (see options). Normal operating speeds 6 seconds to raise or lower. Fast operation via accumulator if fitted.
Finish:	All RAPTORS primed and painted black and yellow, drive cabinet powder coated white. Other RAL colours available. Optional finish – stone or granite inset on the cover plate to match adjacent road surfaces.
Power Supply:	415/220 three phase. 50Hz (or to suit country requirements) PLC control voltage 110v AC. Motor size 3KW (as standard, without accumulator).
Size:	Width of blocking segment 380mm Width of casing 540mm Length of casing 2500mm Height of blocking segment when raised 985mm Depth of unit 435mm Excavation depth into the ground 500mm (can be less if required) Control cabinet 1200mm high x 600mm deep x 900mm wide – variable with more than one raptor unit and special access control systems.
Optional Safety Equipment:	Stop/no entry signs fixed to freestanding post or to drive unit cabinet. Traffic lights, red/green, 100mm diameter in black casing installed above drive cabinet or on freestanding posts – single or double sided. Flashing yellow signal light Below ground vehicle detection loops essential for automated systems. Electronic eye beams. Cold weather protection with space heater in cabinet and heating coil fitted to hydraulic hoses set into duct and temperature control around the ram. NB: There are no entrapment areas on this unique product
Testing & Certification:	The raptor has been physically tested and certificated under the PAS 68 requirements giving result of: V/7500(N3)/80/90:3.3/18.9 It has also been tested to ASTM and received M50-P1 (zero penetration) classification. It has further been tested with a Kia Rio to assess accidental damage and received C40.P1 with no damage to the raptor after impact. International patent application: PCT/GB2011/000575
