Worlds First, Worlds Best

One single ATG Access SP1200 Automatic Rising Bollard has stopped a fully laden 30 tonne truck travelling at 50mph, yes that was 30 tonne at 50mph.

There is nothing to compare this test to, a testing site representative who witnessed the test said “at this time this is the highest energy level ever tested to in the world, this product has performed to a level which surpasses our own original specifications”.

When the truck struck the bollard the energy produced was around 7400 kJ just for illustration this is roughly equivalent to the energy of a 1.5 tonne car travelling at over 220mph.

Words are sometimes not enough to illustrate a point, just take a look:
