PORTABLE BARRIERS

Delta Scientific – Crash Tested Portable Vehicle Barriers & Bollards for Enhanced Security

Why Crash-Rated Protection Matters

Delta Scientific offers several portable vehicle barriers that are physically crash-tested to meet or exceed ASTM M30, M40 and M50 standards. Our towable portable barrier systems were originally designed for rapid deployment and hardened protection from terrorist threats globally, and they continue to provide proven protection to troops and civilians around the world.

Quick Deployment Portable Barrier Solutions

Delta Scientific’s movable vehicular barriers offer crash test-rated performance in a quickly deployed modular setup. You can install them on existing concrete or asphalt pavement, compacted soils, and other compacted hard surfaces. They require no excavation or subsurface preparation. Our portable systems have been used by the Social Security Administration and the U.S. Department of State, amongst others.

Top Crash-Rated Portable Barricades

Towable barricades are robust temporary barrier systems that are ideal for addressing specific threats, such as bomb or terror threats. They also work well for enhancing security at special events. You can use towable security barriers as a more permanent solution by upgrading to the 24v H8050 HPU which allows for more control options and faster speeds.

Advantages of Delta Scientific Crash-Tested Portable Security Barriers

Protection in 30 Minutes.

Crash-rated movable vehicular barrier solutions are engineered to meet industry standards. They then undergo rigorous testing to ensure they operate as expected. Even the installation method is scrutinized. If they perform successfully, they receive an M rating from the American Society for Testing and Materials. 

At Delta Scientific, we engineer our access control products to meet the highest security standards. Our portable product line consists of vehicle barriers that have achieved M30, M40 and M50 ratings through rigorous testing.   They can stop a 15,000-pound truck traveling at 30, 40 and 50 MPH with various distances of penetration.

This is very different from barriers that are simply designed or engineered to stop vehicles. Achieving a crash-test rating means that the products you select can and will protect you as intended.

Crash Testing Provides The Strongest Defense Available

Today’s electric trucks, including the Ford F150 Lightning, Tesla Cybertruck, Rivian R1T, and Chevy Silverado EV, are heavier than standard gas and diesel versions. Additionally, they offer responsive acceleration, which enables them to reach high speeds quickly and in a short distance. That makes them an effective weapon for charging through gates, fences, and crowds. 

The New Year’s Day attack in New Orleans involved an F150 Lightning. Despite weighing over 6,000 pounds, the truck quickly reached 60 mph over a short distance, and traveled three blocks before stopping. An M40-rated, temporary crash-tested barrier can stop a similar vehicle within feet, helping to keep crowds safe in situations like this, where permanent bollards had been removed for repairs. 

Proven Portable Vehicle Barriers

Delta Scientific provides proven, crash-tested portable vehicle barriers to clients around the world. Our systems are quickly deployed to meet a variety of unique situations. They meet or exceed ASTM standards, with models certified at M30, M40, and M50, to provide the strongest defense possible for your public events.
