Road Blockers – Mex Rising Kerb
Mechatronix offers crash-rated protection of your company premises through a wedge-shaped road blocker, also known as “Mex Rising Kerb”. As a large portion of its supporting frame makes direct contact with the concrete-filled earth at all times, it is considered an extremely effective security solution. A heavy-duty Hydraulic/Pneumatic Power Unit is used to operate the machine. Additionally, automation may be provided by loop detectors, IR sensors, or magnetometers.
The K crash rating designed wedge barrier deters traffic and is highly visible when in use. MEX Security aimed blockers have been designed to suit various security needs.
The automatic (PLC-based) UHF Reader, Remote control, and Under-Vehicle Surveillance system can easily integrate with the road blocker. The blocker dimensions can be according to the site open clearance or upon client request.
Mechatronix Road Blocker Types
Surface Mount Blocker Machine
Surface mounts are designed and installed for high-security risk areas. The surface mount road blocker is a solution for quick installation and low maintenance. The surface mounts are unique in design and highly secured. The machine does not have any depth (the machine has no depth), as its installation does not require heavy civil work.
It is operated with a Hydraulic control unit. In case of power failure, hand pumps and valves can lift or lower the barricade manually.
It can be integrated with wide range of Biometric & Access control devices and control system. The internal control panel is PLC based.
• Hydraulically Operated, imported HPU
• Strong I-beam Main/ Movable Frame with a MS chequered top plate
• C-channel rectangular Supporting Frame with end-butt welded joints
• Relatively shallow excavation needed for blocker fitting or can even be surface-mounted
• Rust prevention through galvanizing, surface protection through epoxy coating
• Enamel top coat with user-defined color scheme
Delta – D Type Road Blocker
Delta type Road blockers are designed for permanent installation in an RCC foundation. The machine is hydraulic or pneumatically controlled that quickly raises or retracts.
It is a crash-rated, tested and certified solution for controlling heavy-duty vehicles. The design and construction include heavy steel sections with mild steel skirts and covers. The top plate is a checker sheet anti-slip plate to withstand an axle load of 15-20 tons.
The blocking segment shall be secured into a subsurface mounting frame and will be rotated through 35~ 43 degrees to secure the roadway. On impact, the forces exerted on the blocking segment should be partially absorbed by the structure, with the balance transmitted through the substantial frame and into the reinforced foundations. The segment is designed to absorb/withstand impacts from small and large commercial vehicles like Cars, Vans, SUVs & and other higher chassis vehicles.
Segment Height
The height of the segment when in the closed (raised) position, as measured from the top of the mounting frame, will be a minimum of 650mm (can be customized) to minimize the possibility of site penetration and to ensure that higher chassis vehicles are restrained.
Segment Width
The nominal width of the blocking segment can be 4,000mm although this may be decreased and increased to a maximum of 7,000mm. (Please note that it is not advisable to install units wider than 4,000mm due to the significant risk of a security breach caused by the possibility of dual lane traffic flow.)
Finish
The segment and mounting frame are to be finished with an anti-corrosion paint in black with yellow, black with white and Red with White diagonal stripes over-painted on the segments front skirt and road plate with highly reflecting text of “STOP” on the front skirt.
Hydraulic Operated/controlled Blockers
This is used for controlling the entry/exit of vehicles to sensitive security buildings, which has a threat of terrorism or crime by any sort of vehicle attack.
Most reliable and helpful for controlling the access of vehicles to sensitive perimeter. Hydraulically operated road blocker with Crash Rating can be installed for maximum security and safety applications.
• It is K-8/K-12 Rated Blocker (6,803.886 Kg 40 @ mph & 50mph)
• Military air bases, ministries and governmental buildings.
• Security buildings and police stations.
Product Description:
The Mex Road Blocker, along with MEX security features, includes safety loop detectors and light sensors for vehicle safety. A heavy-duty hydraulic system is best suited for continuous operations.
According to international standards, our products are K-Rated, Certified and tested. The K-Rated barricades are tested and proven to stop 15000 lb with an impact Rate at 30, 40, or 50 MPH. The K-Ratings are K-4, K-8 and K-12.
The road blockers feature manual raising and lowering, and install flush to the finished roadway when retracted.
