Fixed Vehicle Surface Barrier
Inverted Curbed VSB F-10™
The VSB F10™ is a hydraulically operated, compact, low-profile,
high energy absorbing vehicle security barrier. The physical "footprint"
is relatively small and, when installed in high traffic locations, the
low profile provides a solid, unobtrusive driving surface. No vehicle
barrier on the market today provides more stopping power than the VSB
F10™.
• All steel construction, welded and inspected to AWS D1.1
• 2" thick, one-piece steel plate wedge
• Wedge height is 39" - higher than others for added vehicle
capture
• Twenty-seven 4" wide solid steel load bearing hinges
• 2" diameter load bearing hinge pin fabricated from high
strength steel
• Seven 2" thick solid steel load bearing struts arranged
in a progressive energy absorbing system
• Forty 1 1/2" diameter high strength anchor bolts
• 144" wide x 96" long footprint
• Weight - approximately 12,500 pounds
• Minimum excavation
• Hydraulic and electrical systems are highest quality and reliability
• 15,000 lb. vehicle @ 50 mph (by DOS crash test) - vehicle stopped
and destroyed - impact absorbed by primary struts only, secondary struts
not engaged - no structural damage - barrier fully operational after
impact - received highest DOS crash rating K12/L3.
• 60,000 lb. vehicle @ 50 mph (by analysis) - vehicle would be
stopped and destroyed - impact absorbed by primary struts - no significant
structural damage - possibly replace primary struts and return to operation.
• 80,000 lb. vehicle @ 50 mph (by analysis) - vehicle would be
stopped and destroyed - impact absorbed by primary and secondary struts
- potentially structural damage - minor structural damage to replaceable
sacrificial struts.
The F10™ is especially suited for high security locations where
below ground, low profile barriers can be installed. Because only minimal
excavation is required for installation, high water table, bedrock,
or underground cables and pipes generally are not a problem. The F10™
will support normal traffic loadings up to 50,000 lbs. axle weight.
Because of its unique design, the F10™ can be quickly and easily
installed or moved to a new location if a secured roadway is abandoned
or redesigned. Installation of the F10™ requires only minor excavation.
Because the hydraulic and electrical components are self-contained,
it can be installed on practically any surface and does not require
expensive site preparation.
Accepts all optional vehicle detection and warning equipment. Basic
or integrated control system. Normal up in 8 seconds or less; emergency
up in two seconds or less. Improved performance is available when required
with normal up in 5 seconds or less and emergency up in 1 second or
less.
Biodegradable hydraulic fluids are available for use in sen-sitive environments
such as high water table and porous soil.
Maintenance and repair costs are reduced through the use of highest
quality parts and construction. Off-the-shelf parts for reliable quick
repairs.
