DSC7000 K12 Rated Crash Beam Barricades

DSC7000 K12 Crash-Rated Beam-Style Barricades for Wide Roads

K Rated Barrier: Certified K-12 Crash Rated Barrier
Installation Design: Shallow Foundation Barrier
Model #: DSC7000

The DSC7000 crash-rated road barricade is used worldwide at locations where wide roadways need to be secured from attacking vehicles. It covers and protects roadways from 12- to 30-foot wide (3.7 to 9.2 m). The 725-pound beam of the vertical lift barricade stops a 15,000-pound (66.7 kN) vehicle traveling 50 mph (80 kph) dead in its tracks, equivalent to 1.2-million foot-pounds of kinetic energy.

DSC7000 Beam Road Barricade Specifications

Properly engineered vehicle barricades are a critical component of perimeter security, helping to prevent unauthorized access and protect high-risk sites. Below are the key specifications that make the DSC7000 an ideal choice for facilities requiring dependable, crash-rated protection.

The DSC7000 meets the K12 crash certification standard set by the United States Department of State.

The DSC7000(H) operates from a standalone hydraulic pumping unit that can be upgraded to accommodate beam lengths up to 30’.

The HPU can be powered from a local single or three-phase power source. Alternatively, the DSC7000(H) can be powered and operated automatically from a battery-powered HPU, which can be maintained at operating power level by a solar array or by low-power alternative sources.

Barrier Clear Opening

The standard clear opening is 144 inches (3.66 M) as measured inside of the hinge and locking buttress. Optional configurations allow for clear openings up to 360 inches (9.14 m).

Additional Crash Testing and Certification Information

Delta Scientific certifies that the DSC7000 beam has been tested to the United Kingdom BSI Standard PAS:68 2007 in the DSC7500 configuration. Crash tested with a 7.5-tonne EU truck at 80 kph with zero penetration. The beam held and was wedged in place, ready for a second attack.

Manual-to-Automatic Conversion

The manual version of the DSC7000 Drop Arm Beam Barrier can be upgraded to fully automatic operation by adding a Delta hydraulic power unit and appropriate control options.

Best Applications for the DSC7000 Beam-Style Road Barricade

The DSC7000 is an ideal solution for high-security applications where wide roadways need to be secured against high-speed vehicle threats. Its versatile design, shallow foundation, and K12 crash certification make it well-suited for areas with limited installation space or where large clear openings are necessary.

However, for situations where higher-frequency operation or deeper foundation requirements are needed, other Delta beam barricades might be more appropriate. In addition, for locations requiring a higher volume of traffic flow or faster cycle times, a more specialized, rapid-deployment barrier beam might be a better fit.

The DSC7000 strikes an impressive balance of strength, flexibility, and reliability for most high-risk sites.
