Concentric Security hydraulic crash beam barriers offer high security protection from low to medium speed vehicular attacks and prevent vehicles from entering restricted areas. Our Model GS-05-712 barriers are designed for frequent use and are intended for high security and moderate traffic flow applications.

These barriers are crash tested to US Navy specifications (OR098-09-88) and have obtained a K1.1/L3 equivalent certification.

Each crash beam consists of a cast in place hinge and receiver assemblys, and an extruded aluminum beam. The beam contains a high tensile wire rope designed to absorb impact and transfer it through the stanchions to the ground. Our Model GS-05-6119 hydraulic pumping unit is also included and can be configured to operate several separate barriers.

Crash beam operating times are approximately 9-19 seconds to fully open or close, but are dependent upon beam length and hydraulic pumping unit.

Crash beams are available in 9’ to 18’ widths. All hydraulic beam barriers come equipped with our standard “up and down” controller; however, custom controllers are available to make your unit operate in conjunction with card readers, audible alarms, loop detectors, and lights.

Installation requires excavation (approximately 48” deep) on both the hinge and receiver stanchions.
