They are effective on both manned and unmanned sites. Like the surface mounted road blockers, the kerbs are manufactured from welded galvanised steel to withstand heavy-duty vehicles driving over it. They are available as electrically operated or hydraulic operated and come in a range of widths and designs to suit individual site specifications. Where an entrance or exit is wide enough to accommodate it, rising kerb blockers can be installed side by side to ensure maximum security with a fast-operational time. They are more suited to locations that are high-risk and are often used as an anti-terrorism security measure.

They can be electrically operated or hydraulic operated, however, the hydraulic option is more suitable if the premises have a high volume of traffic each day. The steel is galvanised during manufacture to protect from corrosion.

Road Blockers FAQs
What are road blockers and when are they needed?
Road blockers are high-security vehicle access control systems designed to prevent unauthorised vehicle entry. They are commonly used where anti-ram protection is required, particularly on sites that hold sensitive information, valuable stock or face a higher security risk.
What types of road blockers does Boundary Gate & Barrier offer?
Boundary Gate & Barrier offer a range of road blockers including rising kerb road blockers, surface mounted road blockers and fully automated PAS 68 road blockers. These options allow the system to be matched to the security level, traffic demands and physical layout of the site.
What is the difference between rising kerb, surface mounted and PAS 68 road blockers?
Rising kerb road blockers are suited to high-risk sites and can be installed side by side for wider entrances. Surface mounted road blockers are a more cost-effective option and can be installed quickly without disturbing the concrete. PAS 68 road blockers are designed for locations where a high-profile, high-security deterrent is needed, such as government or consular environments.
Are road blockers available in electric and hydraulic versions?
Yes. BGB can install both electrically operated and hydraulically operated road blockers. Hydraulic options are particularly suitable where the site experiences higher daily traffic volumes and consistent operation is essential.
Can road blockers be integrated with other safety and access control equipment?
Yes. Road blockers can be supplied with additional features including flashing beacons, warning signage, warning sirens, LED traffic lights and battery back-up, and PAS 68 blockers can also be interfaced with other access control systems.
Are road blockers suitable for both manned and unmanned sites?
Yes. The page specifically notes that rising kerb road blockers are effective on both manned and unmanned sites, making them a strong option where reliable automated perimeter protection is needed.
How disruptive is road blocker installation?
