What are K8 Crash Rated Road Blockers?

K8 crash rated road blockers are high-performance vehicle mitigation barriers designed to stop medium-to-high speed vehicles attempting forced entry. These blockers are impact-tested to K8 certification standards, ensuring strong resistance against high-energy collisions. Installed at sensitive access points, they control vehicle movement, prevent unauthorized entry, and strengthen perimeter security for government facilities, airports, oil & gas zones, military bases, and critical infrastructure sites.
