HT-2 Matador Shortlisted for IFSEC Awards

Earlier this month, we announced that we are finalists in the European CEO Awards in the “Best Security Tech Manufacturer 2015” category, and it seems like Heald are on a roll. We are very proud to announce that our HT2-Matador Surface Mount Sliding Bollard has been shortlisted for the prestigious IFSEC Awards 2015, in the Access Control Product of the Year (Including Biometrics) category.

The HT2-Matador 3 automatic surface mounted sliding bollard system has revolutionised the perimeter security industry. Based on the award winning HT1-Matador, the HT2-Matador is the only surface-mounted automatic sliding bollard system to be IWA-14 tested to hault a 7.2 tonne truck travelling at 64 kph (40 mph). Not only did the Matador arrest the test vehicle with a zero penetration rating, but it also continued to function following the impact, with zero repairs necessary.

The HT2-Matador can be installed in locations where even a shallow mount is impossible, giving it a huge advantage over more traditional security barriers. It is available with a range of sleek covers and can also be supplied with granite or stone inset in the base plate to enable integration with any surroundings.

This unique product is just another innovation in the long line of successful perimeter security solutions that we offer.
