Crash-Rated Wedge Barriers

Crash-Rated Wedge Barriers are tested, certified, and approved by the Department of Defense (DoD). They are the highest level of barrier protection designed to withstand high-speed vehicle impacts at final denial.
 
These types of wedge barriers are commonly used at Large Corporate Campuses, Power Plants, and Government Facilities like Air Force Bases, FBI Buildings, and Embassies.

• K12 Crash-Rated & ASTM M50 Rated
• Deployment Under 1.5 Seconds (EFO)
• Deep & Shallow Mount

Hydraulic Wedge Barriers

Hydraulic Wedge Barriers

Hydraulic Wedge Barriers have a proven track record in the barrier industry and come in a variety of sizes and configurations to suit your site and threats.
 
These types of wedge barriers/mini-wedge barriers are commonly used at Sports Stadiums and Arenas.

• K12 Crash-Rated & ASTM M50 Rated
• Deployment Under 1.5 Seconds (EFO)
• Environmentally Friendly Hydraulic Oil

Electric Wedge Barriers

Electric Wedge Barriers

Fully Electric Wedge Barriers help reduce environmental impact and reduce operating costs over the life of the equipment. These wedge barriers also integrate optimally with other electronic systems very well.
 
These types of wedge barriers are commonly used in high-security Government Facilities like Air Force Bases, FBI Buildings, and U.S. Embassies.

• K12 Crash-Rated & ASTM M50 Rated
• Deployment Under 1.5 Seconds (EFO)
• Flashing, Bi-Directional LED Lights

Surface Wedge Barriers

Surface Wedge Barriers

Surface Mounted Wedge Barriers are useful when excavation is not available or limited. Oftentimes, stanchions are integrated with traffic lights and gate arms.
 
These types of wedge barriers are commonly used at Sports Stadiums and Corporate Campuses.

Wedge Barriers FAQs

How long does it take to install a wedge barrier?

+

The installation time for a wedge barrier depends on the specific model and site conditions. However, Sloan's surface-mounted and shallow-mount barriers are designed for faster installation, minimizing downtime and disruption to the site.

What is a crash-rated wedge barrier?

+

A crash-rated wedge barrier is a heavy-duty security solution designed to stop vehicles from penetrating secure areas. These barriers are tested to withstand high-speed vehicle impacts and are certified for high-level security installations.

What does K12 and ASTM M50 rating mean for wedge barriers?

+

A K12 rating indicates the barrier can stop a 15,000-pound vehicle traveling at 50 mph, while ASTM M50 is a similar rating standard. Both represent the highest level of crash protection.

Where are wedge barriers typically installed?

+

Wedge barriers are often used at critical facilities such as government buildings, military bases, corporate campuses, power plants, and high-security locations like embassies.

How fast do wedge barriers deploy?

+

Sloan's wedge barriers can deploy in under 1.5 seconds using Emergency Fast Operation (EFO), providing rapid response during high-threat situations.

What is the difference between hydraulic and electric wedge barriers?

+

Hydraulic wedge barriers use fluid-based systems for operation, while electric wedge barriers run on electricity. Electric barriers are more environmentally friendly and often integrate easily with other security systems.

What are surface-mounted wedge barriers?

+

Surface-mounted wedge barriers are designed for locations where excavation is not possible. They provide crash-rated protection and are easier to install, often requiring less maintenance.

Are wedge barriers suitable for all weather conditions?

+

Yes, Sloan’s wedge barriers are designed to function in all weather conditions and require minimal maintenance, ensuring continuous protection regardless of environmental challenges.
