All Howick Automation rising kerbs and road blockers integrate with:
The HA8000 Automatic Rising Kerb is a tough, fully automatic vehicle security solution designed to control site access and deter unwanted vehicles. Suitable for commercial parking areas, logistics facilities, industrial estates, and secure compounds, it provides an effective barrier against unauthorised entry.
Constructed from a fully welded rectangular hollow section steel frame with a chequered top plate, the HA8000 is built for strength and long service life. An advanced hydraulic power pack ensures smooth raising and lowering, while a programmable logic controller coordinates the hydraulics, access control systems, and traffic light integration.
Available in multiple widths and security heights, the HA8000 can be tailored to suit varying threat levels, from standard vehicle control through to enhanced security against larger vehicles.
The galvanised finish and high-visibility top coating ensure both durability and clear driver awareness, making it ideal for busy vehicle access points. The HA8000 is a proven solution for sites requiring secure vehicle management without compromising operational efficiency.
The HA10000 K12 Crash Rated Road Blocker offers enhanced protection for environments facing the highest security risks. Tested to PAS 68 K12 standards at higher impact speeds, this system is designed to stop heavy vehicles travelling at significant force.
Like the K8 model, the K12 version utilises a heavy-duty hydraulic power pack with PLC control, delivering rapid deployment and continuous duty operation. The HA10000 K12 combines extreme impact resistance with reliable automated operation, ensuring uncompromising vehicle security. Ideal for:
For sites requiring higher levels of protection, the HA10000 K8 Crash Rated Road Blocker provides certified impact resistance against hostile vehicle threats.
Crash tested to PAS 68 standards, the HA10000 K8 has been successfully tested at 40mph with zero penetration, remaining operational after impact. This makes it suitable for government buildings, critical infrastructure, defence facilities, and high-risk commercial environments.
Powered by a hydraulic system with inverter and PLC controls, the HA10000 K8 delivers fast and reliable operation while maintaining full duty cycle performance. Its robust construction and anti-skid surface finish ensure durability and safe vehicle interaction during normal operation.
This road blocker provides serious perimeter protection while integrating seamlessly into wider access control systems.
