What Is the DSC1500 Portable Beam Barrier?

The DSC1500 portable barricade is a crash-rated vehicle barrier that sets up in less than 10 minutes, offering a 16-foot (4.8 m) clear opening to block vehicles quickly and effectively. 

Certified to meet U.S. Department of State standards and rated ASTM M30, the DSC1500 can stop a 15,000-pound vehicle traveling at 30 mph. This ensures that critical areas remain secure during high-risk situations.

Features of the DSC1500

  • Quick Setup: Deploys in under 10 minutes.
  • Crash Certified: Stops vehicles up to 15,000 pounds (66.7 kN) at 30 mph (48 kph).
  • Temporary and Portable: Ideal for short-term use during events, construction, or road closures.
  • No Excavation Required: Can be set up on any surface without the need for sub-surface preparation.
  • Hydraulics: Easily raise and lower barriers using hydraulic systems.
  • Flexible Deployment: Perfect for both small and large-scale operations requiring quick vehicle access control.

How the DSC1500 Portable Barrier Works

The portable beam barrier is designed for ease of use and flexibility. Easily towed into position by a trailer, the DSC1500 requires no pre-installation or groundwork. Once in place, the barrier unfolds using manual hydraulics, and its self-deploying trailer facilitates the lifting and positioning of the unit.

For either temporary events or urgent needs, the process is simple: deploy, secure, and remove the unit in under 30 minutes. The portable beam barrier is designed to be simple to transport and easy to store, with a re-packing time of just 10 minutes when the need for security is over.

Cost-Effective Security Solution

Investing in portable barricades like the DSC1500 can be more affordable than permanent security solutions. Unlike fixed installations, which require extensive planning and budget approval, portable beam barriers offer the same high level of security but with much less overhead.

As Delta Scientific’s President Keith Bobrosky, explains: “Quick deployment barriers are easy to procure, store and use in many different arenas for security. From blocking a farmers market to securing a construction entrance at an airport.”

Flexibility for Unpredictable Events

The DSC1500 portable beam barrier is designed to adapt to a wide range of temporary security needs, offering quick, reliable protection to meet any challenge head-on.

This temporary barrier is perfect for:

  • Event security: Effortlessly manage crowds and control vehicle access at festivals, concerts, or large gatherings.
  • Construction zones: Prevent unauthorized vehicle access to hazardous areas, ensuring the safety of workers and the public.
  • Emergency roadblocks: Set up barriers in minutes to protect critical infrastructure or redirect traffic during unforeseen events.

In addition to these applications, the portable barricade is ideal for any situation where quick, temporary security is needed. With its rapid deployment and M30 crash certification, the DSC1500 ensures that your site stays protected, no matter the urgency.
