Rising Beams
Sloan's certified technicians specialize in the safe installation and maintenance of crash-rated Rising Beams. Choose from both M50-rated hydraulic and electric configurations.
Rising Beam Crash Ratings
Acquiring crash-rating certifications for rising beams is imperative, involving rigorous testing protocols to assess their performance and resilience in diverse collision scenarios. These tests meticulously consider variables such as vehicle speed, penetration depth, and structural integrity, simulating real-life accidents for experts to analyze occupant protection.
A critical element of this certification involves controlled collisions at different speeds, providing valuable insights into the crashworthiness of rising beams. Assessments thoroughly examine how protective elements absorb and disperse impact force, ensuring the overall structural integrity of the rising beams.
Rising Beams: Hydraulic vs Electric
Rising beams are commended for their robust force, making them fitting for high-security settings. However, drawbacks include slower operation, intricate maintenance, increased energy consumption, higher installation costs, and potential environmental considerations
In contrast, electric rising beam barriers are recognized for rapid operation, meticulous control, easy installation, and adaptability, excelling in scenarios requiring Emergency Fast Operation (EFO). Despite these advantages, electric barriers may face limitations such as potentially lower force, reduced durability in extreme conditions, dependence on electricity, and a possible environmental impact.
Compare Vehicle Barriers
Vehicle barriers primary function is to impede unauthorized vehicles from entering or exiting a property, thereby thwarting potential acts of violence or other criminal activities.
For many years, both passive and active vehicle barriers have been employed. Each type serves distinct purposes for installation. Typically, a blend of both passive and active barriers is deployed around the perimeter of a property to enhance security measures.
