As we unfortunately see year after year around the world, vehicles have been used as a weapon to injure or kill people during special events. Typically, city owned vehicles, wooden barricades and concrete blocks are used to block off streets.

Pitagone rental barriers allow cities, towns, law enforcement and public works departments the ability to protect their citizens during these planned events. These events can be anything from live music festivals, markets, downtown events, parades, ceremonies, festivals, sporting events, car shows and more.

The Pitagone Barrier Trailer Kit is a great solution for organizations utilizing the Pitagone F18 Mobile Vehicle Barriers to easily store and transport the barriers without the stress of when and where to keep them.  The Trailer Kit comes outfitted with specially designed holsters for the Pitagone F18 Barriers.

We are increasingly seeing police and cities taking a more proactive approach to utilizing crash rated vehicle barriers to protect people. There is a lot of information to learn from understanding certified crash ratings, penetration ratings, barrier configurations, deployment time, storage options, etc. This can be very overwhelming. Our team will be glad to help you understand the different crash ratings and barrier systems on the market.

Purchasing the Pitagone Mobile Vehicle Barriers for an event will allow your personnel to use the barriers before purchasing and understand how they operate in real world scenarios. 

Another scenario is for existing customers who already own Pitagone Vehicle Barriers. While funding and budgets can impact the purchase of larger quantities, sometimes towns and police departments can only purchase smaller quantities for planned events. For a singular yearly event that requires additional street closures, you can rent the additional barriers to achieve the desired level of security.

Pitagone Mobile Vehicle Barriers can be rented for different lengths of time depending on the event or project. Let us know your project requirements, estimated rental duration and timeline, and we can create a custom rental plan for you.

We have multiple storage yards across the United States with available inventory to ensure the Pitagone barriers can be delivered on site quickly and set up can begin as soon as possible. We can typically have the barriers on site within 1-3 days.
