What Are Crash-Rated Barriers?
Crash-rated barriers are physical security structures engineered to stop or deflect vehicles—ranging from sedans to heavy-duty trucks—traveling at high speeds. These systems are certified to standards such as ASTM F2656, PAS 68, or DoD K-ratings, ensuring measurable and tested stopping power.
