Common Questions About ARX STOPPER!™ Vehicle Barriers

Has The ARX STOPPER Been Crash-tested & Certified?+

There are various surface mount HVM (Hostile Vehicle Mitigation) products available but with varying test result criteria so it is essential that your project has a Threat, Vulnerability & Risk Assessment (TVRA) which will identify the risks and potential threats specific to your site.

Surface mount means the units do not need to be “bedded in” or physically anchored into the ground and are used mainly for temporary events and are quick and easy to deploy and recover but still offer a good level of physical perimeter protection.

The ARX STOPPER!™ is rated:
IWA14-1:2013 Barrier V/7475(N2)/48/90:23.4
PAS68:2013 Barrier V/7475(N2)/48/90:20.7/0.0

To achieve the performance ratings shown, the ARX STOPPER!™ was deployed with a 2-line defence of 4 units in front and 3 behind in a slalom setup. The units are spaced 1.2m apart side to side and front to rear allowing for pedestrian permeation with ramps covering the steel ropes which connect the units to each other.

This provides a protected area of 6.5m wide, although this can be extended with additional units.

The ARX STOPPER!™ also holds an NPSA Vehicle Attack Standard (VADS) rating with a minimum array of 3 units in a straight line configuration for both the small and for the large units.

How Is The ARX STOPPER Setup?+

The two main stopper sections are simply slotted together and secured with bars.

Each assembled unit is 800mm high by 750mm wide.

When positioned, in an array, the units are linked with wire ropes, to provide a tested, certified HVM system.

There are cable covers to reduce potential trip hazard and cover boxes to protect by-passers which can be used for branding and advertising.

When deployed in this way, you have a safe, pedestrian permeable HVM solution.
