Q: A two-ton heavy vehicle travelling at 70km/h rams into a Spider Wire electro-mechanical barrier. How far does it travel before coming to rest?
A: 0 metres.
Spider Wire’s Electro-Mechanical Barrier Systems are impenetrable. Many other barrier systems make this claim. We can actually prove it. As this test graphically demonstrates, when a heavy vehicle travelling at 70km/h hits the Spider Wire barrier, it’s the vehicle that breaks apart upon impact. The barrier remains intact.
But our anti-ram control point system isn’t just one of the most effective solutions in the market. It is also the most cost-efficient. Whereas similar systems work on complicated hydraulics and pneumatics, Spider Wire’s patented electro-mechanical technology ensures maintenance costs are lower than any other barrier system available worldwide.

Control vehicle entry or exit at: embassies, shopping centres, casinos, high-security installations, police stations, military and naval facilities, power grids and substations, airports, banks and office buildings.
Improve your shopping centre security and casino security, and attract more clients.Spike barriers are designed to puncture a vehicle’s tyres. The problem with this is that even after the tyres have been punctured, the vehicle is still able to travel a significant distance, allowing assailants to either escape or gain access to your facility. Fortunately, Spider Wire’s anti-ram barriers are designed to stop a vehicle completely in its tracks.
