Portable Barrier: A New Standard in Commercial Event Security
Pruwitt Gates and Barriers is excited to offer the Portable Barrier, the first in a new category of commercial, crash-tested vehicle barriers designed for temporary events. The portable barrier is a fully self-contained unit, stored and towed on its own trailer, providing unmatched convenience and protection. Whether for municipalities, event organizers, or anyone hosting temporary events like farmers’ markets, concerts, or sports games, this barrier offers a simple, effective solution for safeguarding attendees from potential vehicle threats.
Using innovative Soft Stop technology, the portable barrier is designed to safely stop errant drivers, minimizing harm to both pedestrians and drivers. Unlike traditional anti-terrorist barricades that cause a hard stop, the portable barrier decelerates the vehicle over a short distance, reducing the risk of injury by maintaining the structural integrity of the vehicle’s passenger compartment. This approach makes it ideal for situations where the goal is to prevent accidents rather than combat deliberate threats.
Tested to ASTM P40 standards, the portable barrier is built to withstand impacts from vehicles weighing up to 5,000 pounds (2,300 kg) traveling at speeds of 40 mph (60 kph). It offers municipalities and event organizers a reliable, easily deployable solution to ensure the safety of their event spaces.
Efficient and Portable: The Special Event Barrier
The new portable barrier, offered by Pruwitt Gates and Barriers, is light enough to be towed by a golf cart and can be set up in just 10 minutes. Having passed the rigorous ASTM crash test, it successfully stopped a 5,000-pound (2,300 kg) vehicle traveling at 40 mph (64 kph), earning an impressive ASTM P40 rating for crash safety.
Designed for ultimate convenience, the portable barrier requires no foundation or electrical hookup. Two people can easily deploy or take down the barrier within minutes. Its self-contained power system provides all the energy needed to lift the unit onto its trailer and operate the barrier, while a battery-powered system recharges via a solar panel or external power source. For added security, the controls can be locked and operated either directly at the barricade or remotely.
