29/06/10: HEALDS NEW PRODUCT THE HT1-RAPTOR
Overview
On 26.04.2010 at MIRA, impact tests were undertaken against Heald’s shallow mount HT1-Raptor. The test was conducted using an empty 18 tonner (weighing 7.5 tonnes) travelling at 80 kph (50 mph). The RAPTOR successfully arrested the vehicle and conformed to BSI PAS 68: 2010 (Specification For Vehicle Security Barriers). with the HT1-RAPTOR continuing normal operation following minor repair.
Standing at a height of 985mm, the unit is 380mm wide x 300mm deep and is manufactured from 15mm profiled sheet steel. The unique design of this product gives it immense strength, the blocking element was therefore undamaged after this impact.
UNIQUE DESIGN ENSURES NO TRAPPING HAZARD, no safety skirt required, the Raptor is safe to operate as there is no overhang or dangerous void therefore conforming to current health and safety laws.
Only minimal concrete is necessary and no pre-casting of the pit is required, enabling fitting to be completed quickly and efficiently (usually within one day). The unit sits 435mm into ground and is supplied in its own housing which is concreted into ground using a standard C35 mix.
The cabinet is manufactured from 3mm Zintec sheet (900mm wide x 1200mm high x 600mm deep) and powder coated grey or white as standard (alternative colours on request). The cabinet is fitted with an integral lock.
Mechanism
The RAPTOR is operated via a heavy duty hydraulic power pack housed within the cabinet complete with a programmable control system with visual status. Various access controls are available to operate the RAPTOR. Available with the option of an accumulator and push button for Emergency Fast Operation.
