fortified with turnkey perimeter security solutions that are custom designed to suit a facility’s unique needs. RISK TO VEHICLE OCCUPANTS AND FACILITY Some vehicle barriers are designed to direct or channel traffic, whereas others primarily serve as arresting devices to stop unauthorized vehicles from entering a protected area. What is oftentimes lost in vehicle barrier design is consideration of the risk to human life and property damage. It’s an ethical quandary with expensive consequences and high potential for a public relations nightmare. In order to fortify this type of vulnerability, it’s worth considering less-than-lethal alternatives to traditional vehicle barriers. Less-than-lethal perimeter security products are designed to provide ultimate security while reducing the likelihood of injury to the vehicle occupants and destruction of property. Using energy-absorbing technology, less-than-lethal products have the ability to stop vehicles weighing up to 80,000 pounds and vehicles traveling at speeds over 50 mph. Unlike a standard vehicle barrier, they result in significantly less damage and can be reset and fully operational within a short period of time. Global GRAB works with their partners and customers to save time, money and lives with their innovative, award-winning, turn-key capabilities and extensive knowledge of perimeter security.
