M50 P1 Post & Beam Fence - XL-501 / RSS-F501D
Anti-ram fencing safeguards high-risk facilities that require complete perimeter protection against vehicle-borne attacks. These systems provide maximum security for buildings, equipment and hazardous materials vulnerable to high-speed impacts or in close proximity to roadways. The XL-501 Post and Beam Anti-Ram Fence offers proven, vehicle-stopping strength with an innovative design that reduces overall costs, simplifies installation and improves visual appeal.
Design Features
The XL-501 Post and Beam Anti-Ram Fence was engineered to be extremely simple and efficient in terms of the materials required to arrest vehicle impact and the effort required for construction. In fact, each fence section is made up of a surprisingly small number of components (1) nut and bolt assembly, (2) posts, (1) top cap, (10) rebar sticks and shim plates (as needed).
Constructed from heavy-duty structural steel, this unique system utilizes a single tubular beam with patent-pending, energy-absorbing technology that enables the vertical posts to be set on 30-foot centers. This design feature eliminates the need for multiple intermediate posts and cable runs used in traditional anti-ram fence products. The top cap secures the horizontal crash beam and protects the post from the elements. It is secured with a single nut and bolt. The rebar (supplied by Ross) is installed directly into posts; separate rebar cages are not required.
Ross Post and Beam Anti-Ram Fence accommodates a wide range of inherent site considerations, including layout and terrain changes. The heavy-duty galvanizing and optional epoxy primer and polyurethane topcoat provide a high-quality, durable finish that withstands the elements. And the high-strength tubing does not require initial or ongoing tensioning. Because it offers so much flexibility, this anti-ram fence is ideal for a variety of conditions such as:

M50 P1 Post & Beam Gate - XT-4200
Beam style gates are ideal for guarding access control points with wide entrances, eliminating the need to install and maintain multiple wedge barriers or bollards. And because the vertical support posts and foundations are often installed beyond the roadway margins, these barriers can reduce the risk of interference with underground utilities. The XT-4200 Anti-Ram Gate features a unique rising beam actuated by a highly reliable, electromechanical drive system. It's also engineered to integrate seamlessly into our XL-501 Post & Beam Fence to create a turnkey perimeter security solution.
Design Features
The Ross Anti-Ram Gate utilizes a structural steel tube beam engineered to travel vertically between two bollard-like posts, which perpetually anchor the beam at either end. When lowered, this cross member is housed in an unobtrusive channel and shallow foundation extending across the roadway. The efficient motion of this gate design reduces the travel distance required for the barrier to open and close compared to drop-arm gates, which pivot from one end post in a long arcing motion. This feature serves to significantly decrease the cycle time required to process vehicles and eliminates potential clearance issues with overhead objects such as trees, buildings or utilities. Normal operating time is accomplished in a mere 3 - 5 seconds.
The XT-4200 is available with many equipment options for managing operation, including control consoles, safety loops and Emergency Fast Operation (EFO). Because all of the operating components are installed above ground level, this barrier requires less maintenance than bollards and wedges and is easy to service. The Post and Beam Gate is ideal for the following conditions:

PAS 68 / IWA 14-1 Shallow Mount Fixed Bollards - XL-2500/2600 Heald Mantis
Fixed and removable bollards are designed to restrict vehicle access while allowing pedestrians and bicycles to pass through freely. The Mantis Series Fixed Bollards are another forward thinking solution from Heald. Like the Fixed Raptor, they're designed for locations where anti-ram security is essential but where standard bollard foundations are not practical or permissible. The Mantis also offers its own unique architectural shape and a choice of higher-level crash ratings.
Design Features
Mantis Fixed Bollards offer a unique combination of contemporary style to enhance architectural appeal and an imposing presence to deter potential threats. While boasting higher crash ratings than the Fixed Raptor, the Mantis Series still features shallow excavation depths of just 10" (250 mm) for the Mantis 64 and 12" (300 mm) for the Mantis 80. And like the Fixed Raptor, each model was crash tested as a single unit, so they can be installed as a stand-alone bollard or as part of an array of multiple units.
Mantis Bollards consist of a rectangular shaped element that extends 43" (1100 mm) high and 8" (200 mm) wide for the Mantis 64 or 44" (1112 mm) high and 8" (190 mm) wide for the Mantis 80. The element is anchored below-grade by a structural frame designed to withstand a large impact. The foundations for both models are very compact, and because the structural frames incorporate factory-provided rebar, there is no need for additional rebar mats to be supplied and built onsite. The Mantis series bollards are ideal for the following conditions:
