What are K8 Crash Rated Barriers?

K8 Crash Rated Barriers are impact-tested blocking systems designed to stop a 7.2-ton vehicle at approximately 40 mph (65 km/h), preventing forced intrusion at high-risk access points. These hydraulic and electro-mechanical road blockers are tested under ASTM F2656 / PAS 68 standards and provide certified protection for medium-to-high-risk sites. K8 barriers are commonly deployed at embassies, airports, defence facilities, industrial complexes, and locations requiring robust perimeter security with safe vehicle management.
