The Patriot Anti-Ram Security Barrier has a rapid deployment rate and remains functional even after a crash, making it an excellent choice for high security access control.

Furthermore, by installing the rising beam barrier within close proximity to an entry point enables the Patriot to work in tandem with a gate system to control vehicular traffic.

The Patriot Barrier utilizes a hydraulically actuated structural beam that is recessed flush with the roadway when granting vehicle access.

The Patriot crash beams’ primary excavation is outside the roadway opening, allowing minimal excavation across entry, thus avoiding underground utilities or obstructions
