TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
The Madoors USA Bulletproof Ballistic Sliding Gate is certified to the following hostile vehicle mitigation and ballistic standards.
PAS 68 Classification D/7500(N2)/80/90:0:0 — stopping a 7,500 kg N2 class vehicle traveling at 80 km/h, representing 1,852 kJ of kinetic energy, with full resistance to direct impact forces exceeding 1,852 kJ. PAS 68 Classification D/30000(N3)/80/90:0:0 — stopping a 30,000 kg N3 class vehicle traveling at 80 km/h, providing the highest available PAS 68 vehicle class protection for heavy goods vehicle and truck attack scenarios. IWA 14-1 — the International Workshop Agreement standard for vehicle security barriers. ASTM F2656 — the American standard for crash-tested vehicle security barriers.
Optional ballistic protection levels are available at BR4, BR5, and BR6 under EN 1522 European standard and equivalent UL 752 American standard, providing certified protection against 9mm submachine gun fire at BR4, 5.56mm assault rifle at BR5, and 7.62mm × 39 assault rifle rounds at BR6 — in addition to the primary hostile vehicle mitigation certified performance.
Optional rocket attack resistance design is available for the most demanding military and government security applications where shaped charge and rocket-propelled grenade threats must be considered alongside vehicle and ballistic attack scenarios.
The gate blocks road widths up to 8 meters completely with a border height of 5 meters, covering the full range of vehicle access road widths encountered at government, military, and critical infrastructure facility perimeter entrances. The gate is manufactured from galvanized structural steel suitable for harsh climate conditions and finished with electrostatic powder coating to the specified RAL color.
Drive system options include PLC controlled geared motor sliding gate drive and hydraulic sliding gate motor — with selection based on gate weight, duty cycle requirements, and available power infrastructure. Manual intervention as standard for breakdowns and power outages ensures that the gate remains operable for manual opening and closing during power failure events.
KEY FEATURES
PAS 68 Certified — 7,500 kg & 30,000 kg at 80 km/h
The gate holds PAS 68 certification for both the 7,500 kg N2 vehicle class and the 30,000 kg N3 vehicle class at 80 km/h — providing certified stopping capability against the full range of hostile vehicle attack scenarios from standard vehicle-borne IED attacks through to heavy goods vehicle and truck ramming attacks. This dual vehicle class certification eliminates the need to specify different gate systems for different vehicle threat scenarios at the same entrance.
1,852 kJ Full Resistance — Zero Penetration
The gate provides full resistance to direct impact forces exceeding 1,852 kJ — the kinetic energy of a 7,500 kg vehicle at 80 km/h — with zero penetration of the protected site. Zero penetration is the highest achievable result in PAS 68 and ASTM F2656 testing, confirming that no part of the attacking vehicle crossed the gate line into the protected area during or after the impact event.
IWA 14-1 & ASTM F2656 — International Standard Coverage
In addition to PAS 68, the gate is certified to IWA 14-1 and ASTM F2656 — providing coverage across the three primary international hostile vehicle mitigation certification systems used by government and defense procurement authorities across North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific. Multi-standard certification allows the gate to be specified for projects with different national or institutional certification requirements without product substitution.
Optional BR4, BR5 & BR6 Ballistic Protection
The gate is available with optional ballistic protection levels BR4, BR5, and BR6 to EN 1522 and UL 752 standards — adding certified bullet resistance against 9mm submachine gun, 5.56mm assault rifle, and 7.62mm assault rifle threats to the gate's primary hostile vehicle mitigation performance. This combined hostile vehicle mitigation and ballistic protection capability provides a complete perimeter security gate system addressing both vehicle attack and direct fire attack scenarios simultaneously.
Optional Rocket Attack Resistance
An optional design configuration provides resistance against rocket attacks — including RPG and shaped charge threats — for installations at military facilities, government buildings, and critical infrastructure where rocket-propelled weapon attacks against the gate must be considered in the threat assessment. This highest-level optional protection configuration makes the Madoors USA gate one of the most comprehensively protected vehicle entrance systems available globally.
8-Meter Road Width — 5-Meter Height
The gate completely blocks road widths up to 8 meters at a border height of 5 meters — covering the full range of standard and wide vehicle access road widths at government, military, critical infrastructure, and commercial facility perimeter entrances, with a 5-meter height providing additional anti-climb deterrence and preventing unauthorized overhead access at the gate opening.
PLC Controlled Geared Motor or Hydraulic Drive
Two drive system options accommodate different installation requirements and operational duty cycles. PLC controlled geared motor drive provides reliable, electronically managed automated operation with precise position control and access control system integration capability. Hydraulic drive provides high-force output for the heaviest gate configurations and the highest operational cycle rates, with consistent performance across temperature extremes encountered at outdoor perimeter installations.
Manual Intervention — Power Failure Operability
Standard manual intervention capability ensures that the gate remains operable for manual opening and closing during power outages and drive system failures — a critical operational requirement for any perimeter gate at a continuously operational security facility where power failure must not result in a permanently locked entrance or an uncontrolled open gate position.
Full Access Control Compatibility
The gate interfaces with a wide range of access control equipment and systems — providing the access control integration flexibility required at government, military, and critical infrastructure facilities where the gate must integrate with existing or new security management infrastructure including CCTV, vehicle recognition, biometric readers, intercom, and centralized security management systems.
Push-Button Hold-to-Run Standard — Custom Interface Available
Push-button hold-to-run control is provided as the standard operator interface, ensuring that the gate only moves while the control button is actively held — preventing unintended gate movement and maintaining operator control at all times. Custom access control equipment interfaces are available to suit specific customer requirements, replacing or supplementing the standard push-button control with any specified access control device.
Galvanized Structural Steel — Harsh Climate Durability
The gate is manufactured from hot-dip galvanized structural steel, providing corrosion resistance and long service life in the harsh climate conditions encountered at outdoor perimeter installations — including coastal, high-humidity, high-UV, and freeze-thaw environments where ungalvanized steel would require frequent maintenance to prevent structural degradation.
RAL Electrostatic Powder Coating
The gate surface is finished with electrostatic powder coating to the specified RAL color, providing a durable, fade-resistant surface finish that complements the architectural character of the facility entrance while maintaining the galvanized substrate's corrosion resistance.
Operational Under Power Failure
The gate is designed to remain operational under power failure conditions — through manual intervention provisions — ensuring that perimeter security is maintained and the gate can be manually managed by security personnel during power interruption events without becoming a fixed, uncontrolled obstruction or security gap.
ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION SEQUENCE
Site Risk Assessment & Engineering Design
A full site risk assessment is conducted at the design stage — confirming the vehicle threat classification, required PAS 68 or ASTM F2656 rating, optional ballistic and rocket attack resistance requirements, road width, gate height, drive system selection, and access control interface requirements. CCTV system and safety system requirements are confirmed based on the gate control point position relative to the installation.
Foundation & Track Engineering
Foundation positions for the gate post, track, and drive unit are designed to the structural loading requirements of the specified PAS 68 and ASTM impact rating. Reinforced concrete foundations are designed to transfer the full vehicle impact load from the gate structure into the ground without foundation failure during an impact event.
Foundation Excavation & Concrete Works
Foundation excavations are completed and reinforced concrete foundations are cast with all anchor bolt and track fixing positions set to the installation engineering drawings. Foundation concrete achieves full design strength before gate installation proceeds.
Track & Post Installation
The galvanized structural steel gate track and support posts are installed onto the cast foundations and anchored at the specified positions. Track alignment, level, and structural connection integrity are verified before gate leaf installation.
Gate Leaf Installation & Drive System Connection
The ballistic gate leaf — with optional ballistic steel cladding for BR4/BR5/BR6 protection levels — is installed on the track and connected to the PLC geared motor or hydraulic drive system. Gate travel, track engagement, and drive connection are verified across the full open and close travel range.
PLC Control System & Access Control Interface Commissioning
The PLC control system is commissioned and all drive parameters — travel speed, limit positions, and obstacle detection — are set and verified. Access control equipment interfaces are connected and tested. Manual intervention function is tested and confirmed operational.
Safety Systems, CCTV & Operator Training
Safety systems — obstruction detection, emergency stop, and warning signals — are installed, connected, and tested. CCTV system coverage of both sides of the gate is verified where specified. Gate operators are trained on hold-to-run control, manual intervention procedure, and safety system operation.
Certification Documentation Handover
PAS 68, IWA 14-1, ASTM F2656, EN 1522, and UL 752 certification documentation as applicable are compiled into the project handover package alongside installation records, risk assessment documentation, and maintenance schedule.
