Crash-tested solutions to counter vehicle ramming attacks

Crash-tested perimeter security systems

Every year, Christmas markets attract thousands of visitors to open, high-traffic areas. However, these temporary pedestrian zones can be vulnerable to vehicle ramming attacks and unauthorised vehicle intrusions.
To address these security challenges, it is now essential to deploy comprehensive perimeter security systems that combine access control, flow management and appropriate physical protection.

Crash-tested perimeter security systems
In the face of evolving threats and urban densification, the security of public spaces and events relies on the deployment of crash-tested physical protection systems, adapted to the uses and levels of risk.
Our range covers a wide spectrum of equipment dedicated to the defence of sensitive sites and public events, including:
- fixed, semi-automatic, manual, removable or retractable bollards,
- roadblocker-type devices, spikes, gates and heavy barriers, designed for areas requiring a very high level of resistance.
This equipment is designed to slow down, deflect or stop a hostile vehicle in order to prevent any intrusion into the areas to be protected.

Proven resistance to ram-raiding vehicles
All devices are crash-tested and certified, demonstrating their ability to withstand impacts from vehicles of different weights and speeds, from 1.5 tonnes up to 12 tonnes.
This performance provides a reliable physical barrier against ram-raid attacks, while ensuring pedestrian safety and continuity of use in public spaces.

Securing events without compromising aesthetics
The protection of gathering places should not come at the expense of the user experience. Security devices are therefore designed as genuine street furniture, integrated into their environment:
- careful design,
- customisable finishes and cladding,
- harmonious integration into city centres, pedestrian areas and event spaces.
This approach reduces the visual impact and limits the anxiety-inducing effect of overly visible security equipment.

Consistent protection of pedestrian areas and traffic flows
Integrated into a perimeter of protection, our products make it possible to:
- prohibit access to unauthorised vehicles,
- secure pedestrian areas and visitor flows,
- reinforce the protection of gathering areas.
Combined with a comprehensive approach to access, traffic and usage, these devices provide robust, consistent physical defence that is adapted to contemporary intrusion risks.
