LW6 - FOLDING BLOCK rapid-install, heavy duty, 2.8 metre
The LW6 is being developed for more permanent installations, higher-duty cycles, and heavier impacts – up to 600 kJ. It is still capable of rapid installation & re-location, quick activation, fast replacement, and many of the other benefits common to the LW-series.
Features & Benefits
• 600 kJ impact capability
• Install in less than one day
• Activate in 0.8 seconds
• Activate hydraulically or by electro-explosive cartridge
• Capable of re-location if required
• Return affected site to normal service quickly - following an impact
• Use as speed-humps and chicanes to calm traffic and control approach speeds
• Secure onto suspended slabs
• Store off-site until required
• Integrate with Blast Mitigators to provide added protection
Impact Rating
Engineered to absorb up to 600 kJ of impact energy and arrest a 1.3 tonne vehicle traveling at 110 kph, which equates to a:
• 3.2 tonne vehicle travelling at 70 kph
• 8 tonne vehicle travelling at 44 kph
• 24 tonne vehicle travelling at 25 kph
Folding Block technology is currently endorsed by ASIO (Australian Security Intelligence Organisation) T4 Protective Security Group, for the Australian Security Construction & Equipment
Committee (SCEC) catalogue, and approved for use at federal government sites. The AVS-elli LW6 barrier - which is a heavier-duty version of the LW4 – is yet to be formally rated. |
