Anti-ram road blockers

Road blockers are anti-ram barriers: a steel plate rises hydraulically from the road surface at an angle and stops a vehicle in an accidental or deliberate impact. Unlike a bollard, a road blocker closes the full width of the lane with a solid barrier. The range covers the TiSO M series (M30, M40, M50) and three Ultra Shallow models.

How to choose road blockers

• Security rating. Under ASTM F2656-07, M30 is rated M30 (K4) and M50 is rated M50 (K12). The Ultra Shallow series passed BSI PAS 68:2013 and IWA 14-1:2013 crash tests with a 7.5 t truck at 48, 64 or 80 km/h.
• Installation depth. Ultra Shallow needs only 200 mm — for sites with utilities under the pavement. The whole M series is shallow-mounted; M50 needs 600 mm.
• Lane width. Modules are 2000, 3000 and 4000 mm. In the M series the blocked width can reach 9000 mm.
• Plate height. From 800 mm on M30 and Ultra Shallow 48 km/h to 1200 mm on M50.
• Load and climate. Axle load is 15 t, or 30–50 t as an option on the 80 km/h model. The blocker is IP 67; without heating it works down to −10 °C, with optional heating down to −40 °C.

FAQ

How much does a road blocker cost?

Ultra Shallow models show a price on their product page; for the M series we quote per project. It depends on the security rating, lane width and options such as heating, a higher axle load rating or an IP 65 control cabinet.

How is a road blocker different from a bollard?

A road blocker closes the whole lane with one plate, while bollards are installed as a row of separate posts.

How fast does a road blocker rise?

In 3.5 s in normal mode (3.5 ± 1 s on Ultra Shallow) and in 1.5 s with EFO. Lowering takes the same time.
