Hydraulic Road Blocker (K12/M50 Rated, Fail-Safe Operation)

Key Features

• IWA 14-1 / PAS 68 K12 Crash Rating: Tested to stop a 7,500kg vehicle impacting at 80km/h — the international benchmark for critical infrastructure vehicle exclusion; K12 / M50 equivalent rating confirms compatibility with both European (PAS 68) and international (IWA 14-1) standards cited by government procurement authorities
• 3,000mm Wide Platform: Spans a full standard two-lane approach road or wide single-lane vehicle gate — no vehicle can pass alongside or around the platform when raised
• 2–3 Second Rise Time: Fast enough to prevent a vehicle that starts moving from the access control stop point from reaching the blocker before it is fully raised — critical for manned checkpoints where a stop-and-reverse threat scenario is possible
• Flush Road Surface (Lowered Position): Platform surface is flush with the road surface when lowered — no kerb or ramp obstruction for authorised vehicles, maintaining normal traffic flow and preventing vehicle underside damage during authorised passage
• 3kW Hydraulic Power Unit: Dedicated hydraulic power unit with accumulator provides rapid rise and consistent operation across the full temperature range — accumulator stores sufficient hydraulic energy for several raise/lower cycles in the event of pump failure
• Fail-Safe Blocking Position: Loss of hydraulic pressure (power failure, pipe rupture, deliberate sabotage) leaves the platform in the raised blocking position — the system requires positive hydraulic pressure to lower, never to raise
• Traffic Light Integration: Synchronised traffic signal output — automatic red signal when blocker is rising or raised; green signal when blocker is fully lowered and confirmed flush with road surface
• Remote Operation: Dry-contact relay control from guard booth, access control panel, or remote operations centre — full integration with site access management system
• Operating Temperature −30°C to +55°C: Full hydraulic performance across the complete Bangladesh climate range, including cold mornings in highland areas and peak summer ambient temperatures in Dhaka
• Stainless Steel or Galvanised Finish: Platform and housing components available in 316L stainless steel or hot-dip galvanised mild steel — both provide corrosion resistance suitable for permanent outdoor installation in Bangladesh's humid coastal and riverine environment

Technical Specifications

Typical Applications

• Bangladesh Secretariat Main Gate: Full-lane vehicle exclusion at the primary vehicle entry point — prevents forced entry by vehicle regardless of mass or impact speed
• Military & Paramilitary Base Entry: Force protection vehicle access control at the primary approach road — fail-safe blocking position ensures the barrier cannot be defeated by a coordinated infrastructure attack preceding a vehicle ramming attempt
• Power Station & National Grid Substation: Protecting the access road to critical power infrastructure — prevents vehicle-borne device delivery to transformer yards and control buildings
• Water Treatment & Infrastructure Facility: Vehicle exclusion at the approach road to municipal water treatment plants — one of the most cost-effective critical infrastructure protection measures
• Port & Container Terminal Gate: Controls truck access lanes at port entry — integrates with ANPR and weighbridge systems for a complete port vehicle management solution
• Data Centre Campus — Perimeter Road: Road blocker at the vehicle approach to a tier 3/4 data centre campus — paired with rising bollards at the pedestrian access point for complete perimeter vehicle exclusion

Compatibility & Integration

Hydraulic road blockers integrate with access control management systems via dry-contact relay — compatible with all major access control platforms. ANPR camera integration triggers automatic blocker lowering on registered plate recognition. Integration with guard booth intercom allows operator visual confirmation before blocker lowering command. SSAL provides interface drawings and relay specifications for integration with client-specified access control and guard management systems.

SSAL Supply & Support

Smart Safety & Automations Ltd. manages hydraulic road blocker projects from threat assessment and vehicle access risk analysis through civil engineering design (pit specification, drainage, road surface reinstatement), supply, installation, testing, and crash-test certificate documentation. SSAL coordinates with civil contractors for pit construction and works closely with Bangladesh Roads and Highways Department where road blocker installation is on or adjacent to public roads. Annual Maintenance Contracts include hydraulic fluid analysis, seal inspection, drainage pump testing, and functional testing against the full rise/lower cycle specification.
