Fixed Vehicle Surface Barrier
Curbed VSB F-10™
The VSB F10™ is a hydraulically operated, compact, low-profile,
high energy absorbing vehicle security barrier. The physical "footprint"
is relatively small and, when installed in high traffic locations,
the low profile provides a solid, unobtrusive driving surface. No
vehicle barrier on the market today provides more stopping power than
the VSB F10™.
• All steel construction, welded and inspected to AWS D1.1
• 2" thick, one-piece steel plate wedge
• Wedge height is 39" - higher than others for added vehicle
capture
• Twenty-seven 4" wide solid steel load bearing hinges
• 2" diameter load bearing hinge pin fabricated from high
strength steel
• Seven 2" thick solid steel load bearing struts arranged
in a progressive energy absorbing system
• Forty 1 1/2" diameter high strength anchor bolts
• 144" wide x 96" long footprint
• Weight - approximately 12,500 pounds
• Minimum excavation
•Hydraulic and electrical systems are highest quality and reliability
• 15,000 lb. vehicle @ 50 mph (by DOS crash test) - vehicle
stopped and destroyed - impact absorbed by primary struts only, secondary
struts not engaged - no structural damage - barrier fully operational
after impact - received highest DOS crash rating K12/L3
•60,000 lb. vehicle @ 50 mph (by analysis) - vehicle would be
stopped and destroyed - impact absorbed by primary struts - no significant
structural damage -
possibly replace primary struts and return.
• 80,000 lb. vehicle @ 50 mph (by analysis) - vehicle would
be stopped and destroyed - impact absorbed by primary and secondary
struts -minor structural damage to replaceable sacrificial struts
The F10™ is especially suited for high security locations where
below ground, low profile barriers can be installed. Because only
minimal excavation is required for installation, high water table,
bedrock, or underground cables and pipes generally are not a problem.
The F10™ will support normal traffic loadings up to 50,000 lbs.
axle weight.
Because of its unique design, the F10™ can be quickly and easily
installed or moved to a new location if a secured roadway is abandoned
or redesigned. Installation of the F10™ requires only minor
excavation. Because the hydraulic and electrical components are self-contained,
it can be installed on practically any surface and does not require
expensive site preparation.
Accepts all optional vehicle detection and warning equipment. Basic
or integrated control system. Normal up in eight seconds and emergency
up in two seconds or less. Improved performance is available where
required with normal up in five seconds or less and emergency up in
one second or less.
The F10's™ unique self-contained hydraulic system traps fluid
to prevent seepage in the event of a system leak. The result, a roadway
barrier suitable for use in sensitive environments such as high water
table and porous soil. Biodegradable hydraulic fluids are available.
Additionally, maintenance and repair costs are reduced further through
the use of highest quality and reliability parts and construction.
