The world's only high speed (BSI IWA14) Multiple Crash Tested Surface Mount Crash Block: As the growing threat of Terrorist Attacks on the public gets worse, new ways of stopping them have been developed by Safetyflex's design team to give instant H.V.M Protection. Crash Block is a surface mount block that has a special, unique design that lets the block just sit on the surface of the ground with no ground fixing. It is completely free standing and can stop an 7.5 tonne truck at 30mph/48kph, 40mph/64kph and an 18 tonne (G.V.W) truck 50mph/80kph

Four high speed impact tests were carried out on the block at (Horiba Mira) UK, vehicle impact tested centre to BSI lWA14 impact test. The first test was at 30mph/48kph at 90 degrees with a 7.5 tonne truck into the front face of the biock. The second test was 40mph/64kph at 90 degrees with a 7.5 tonne truck into the face of the block. The third test was an 18 tonne (G.V.W) truck at 50mph/80kph at 90 degrees into the end face of the block. All tests were carried out on the same block.

BONUS TEST

The blocks were impact tested at 90 degrees into a gap of 1.2 meters between the two blocks at a speed of 30mph/48kph with a 7.5 tonne truck crashing into the gap with a result of 2.9m penetration only.

The great advantage with Crash Blocks are that they can be permanent or temporary solutions as it only takes hours to install. They can also be dressed in a cladding of choice, or fitted with a planter with seating benches. All work can be done without disturbing existing ground work.
