Product Overview
Rising kerbs and road blockers provide a high-security vehicle access control solution designed to physically prevent unauthorised entry while still allowing controlled, authorised traffic flow. These systems are engineered as a visible and robust deterrent for sites where perimeter protection is critical, including commercial facilities, logistics hubs, utilities, government buildings and secure compounds.
Built using heavy-duty steel construction and designed for hydraulic operation, the system rises from ground level to create an instant barrier against vehicle intrusion. Depending on specification, units can be crash-rated and tested to recognised impact standards, making them suitable for high-threat environments where forced vehicle entry is a risk.
Available in multiple widths and configurations, rising kerb systems can be deployed as standalone protection points or combined across wider entrances to secure full roadway access.
Operation & Integration
Rising kerbs operate via hydraulic power units that control a smooth lift-and-lower cycle. Activation can be triggered through a wide range of access control inputs including ANPR systems, keypads, proximity readers, remote control devices, and centralised security management platforms.
For operational safety, systems are typically fitted with inductive loops, safety edges, and integrated traffic light indicators to manage vehicle movement during operation. This ensures drivers receive clear visual guidance at all times, reducing risk during entry and exit sequences.
Integration capability is a key feature, with systems designed to interface directly with gates, barriers, CCTV monitoring, intercoms and wider site automation infrastructure. This allows the rising kerb to function as part of a fully coordinated perimeter control system rather than a standalone barrier.
Installation & Support
Installation is carried out by specialist engineers with full consideration of ground conditions, drainage, service access and traffic flow requirements. Units can be installed in both new build and retrofit environments, with surface-mounted options available where excavation depth is restricted.
Commissioning includes full hydraulic testing, control system configuration and safety validation to ensure compliance with operational standards. Site-specific programming is applied to match security protocols and traffic behaviour.
Ongoing support includes preventative maintenance, breakdown response and system servicing. Regular inspections ensure hydraulic performance, safety systems and control integration remain fully operational over time.
