Frontier Pitts’ has crash tested its new Terra Road Closer, which successfully stopped 7,500 kg travelling at 80 km/hour.
The Terra Road Closer is available to secure apertures of up to 4,500 mm. The manually operated hinged beam can be automated using either surface mounted or underground actuators.
In the closed position the beam can be securely locked using a powered locking bolt and a high security Gate Shield locking device. The hinged pin which allows the beam to swing open can be manufactured in lengths of 75-100 mm.
For added security a solid skirt can be mounted to the beam, creating a hinged gate. A latch back post comes as standard with the Terra Road Closer to allow the beam to be locked while in the opened position. Positioned back from the gate, the beam can be locked to the post again using a high security Gate Shield locking device or a Class 2 padlock. Key features of the Terra Road Closer include automation with a range of operating speeds possible, secure locking, and a choice of solid infills to fulfil the level of security required on each unique site. The Terra Road Closer requires minimal foundation depths of only 350 mm, which can be deeper to reduce the surface area, suiting individual requirements.
