Protection of Highly Sensitive Entry Points

elkosta Road Blockers "DSP" offer maximum security for highly sensitive entry points against unauthorized vehicles of all sizes and weights.

Crash Tests carried out under the supervision of the TV (Technical Inspection Agency) with an impact of a 7.5 ton truck traveling at 80 km/h certify the high reliability of the Road Blocker: heavy duty vehicles at high speed are also reliably stopped.

The Road Blockers "DSP" are designed to remain fully operational after the impact and consequently continue to guarantee the full level of security.

Functionality

When activated the extremely heavy blocking segment will extend and block the entry. The average blocking height is 650 mm. With a dynamic road blocker the barrier is "lifted" and can therefore reach a blocking height of 850 mm. Due to the eye-catching warning colour and the warning lights the blocking segment is clearly visible to approaching vehicles which allows the vehicles to stop in good time. In the lowered position the Road Blocker is absolutely unobtrusive and flush with the road surface.

Equipment

  • compact hydraulic unit with motor, pump, solenoid valve and high pressure hydraulic cylinder
  • red flashing light in blocking element
  • emergency operation during power failure using hand pump
  • control in separate control box
