M50 Wedge Barricade Barrier
The Madoors USA RBWB-4500 Series M50 P1 Wedge Barricade Barrier is a shallow foundation automatic wedge barrier certified to ASTM F2656-07 standards with M50 P1 certification. Available in widths from 3 meters to 20 meters and up to 1 meter high, with crash ratings from K4/M30 to K12/M50 and less than 1 meter penetration at K12/M50, in hydraulic and electromechanical versions with galvanization or LINE-X coating for extreme environments and any Pantone or RAL color matching, the Madoors USA M50 Wedge Barrier provides the first line of defense at embassies, nuclear facilities, military bases, corporate headquarters, and any critical facility requiring high-speed operation, shallow foundation installation, and ASTM-certified anti-ram stopping performance.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
The Madoors USA RBWB-4500 Series Wedge Barrier is certified to ASTM F2656-07 — the American Society for Testing and Materials standard for vehicle crash testing of perimeter barriers — at the M50 P1 level. M50 certification confirms stopping performance against a 15,000-pound (6,800 kg) vehicle at 50 mph (80 km/h). P1 penetration rating confirms vehicle penetration of less than 1 meter — 3.3 feet — after impact. This M50 P1 combination is the highest available ASTM vehicle barrier certification, confirming the RBWB-4500 as capable of stopping the largest and fastest vehicles at the most demanding vehicle attack threat levels.
The K4 to K12 rating range provides the complete crash performance spectrum — K4/M30 for standard anti-terrorism access control at commercial and institutional facilities, K8 for government and military intermediate threat profiles, and K12/M50 for the highest threat military, diplomatic, and critical infrastructure positions. All configurations maintain less than 1 meter penetration at the certified rating level.
Available widths from 3 meters to 20 meters cover single traffic lane through multi-lane road positions and wide facility entrances — the same RBWB-4500 Series product family serves narrow single-vehicle access points and the widest facility entrance configurations with consistent certified crash performance across all widths.
The shallow foundation installation reduces the civil works requirement compared to conventional deep-foundation wedge barriers — enabling installation at sites with constrained excavation depth, underground services, and structural constraints that deeper foundations cannot accommodate. The shallow foundation directly reduces installation cost and construction timeline.
High-speed hydraulic and electromechanical operation provides the rapid emergency deployment rate required for counter-terrorism barricade applications — the barrier lowers from the raised blocking position to the ground-flush authorized vehicle pass position and raises from ground-flush to the full blocking height at high speed for active threat response. High-speed operation confirms the RBWB-4500 as appropriate for high-traffic locations requiring rapid emergency fast operation rates without queue build-up.
For extreme environment installations, galvanization and LINE-X protective coating options provide complete corrosion and abrasion resistance — galvanization for the highest corrosion protection in marine and coastal environments, and LINE-X for the maximum impact and abrasion resistance in high-cycle heavy vehicle traffic positions. Any Pantone or RAL color matching allows the barrier to complement any facility architectural color scheme.
KEY FEATURES
ASTM F2656-07 M50 P1 Certified — Less Than 1 Meter Penetration
The ASTM F2656-07 M50 P1 certification — the American standard's highest vehicle barrier classification — confirms independent crash test verification of less than 1 meter vehicle penetration after impact by a 15,000-pound vehicle at 50 mph. This certified penetration performance directly protects the critical area behind the barrier line from vehicle access even in the most severe vehicle attack scenario. The less-than-1-meter penetration at M50 confirms that the entire vehicle is arrested before it can reach the protected facility perimeter.
K4/M30 to K12/M50 Range — Any Threat Level
The complete crash rating range from K4/M30 through K12/M50 provides a single product family that covers every threat assessment from standard commercial anti-terrorism access control to the highest military and diplomatic threat level. This range allows the specific barrier rating to be matched to the confirmed threat assessment of each installation without procuring a different barrier product for each certification level — the same RBWB-4500 Series engineering platform delivers all ratings across the standard width range.
3 to 20 Meter Width — Single Lane to Wide Entrance Coverage
The 3 to 20-meter width availability covers the complete range of access point widths encountered in anti-terrorism barrier applications — from the narrowest single-vehicle access lane at 3 meters through the widest multi-lane facility entrance at 20 meters. This width range eliminates the need for multiple barrier units side-by-side for wide entrances — a single RBWB-4500 Series barrier spans the full entrance width with continuous certified crash performance from edge to edge.
Hydraulic & Electromechanical — Drive System Flexibility
The hydraulic version provides the highest force output and the most reliable high-cycle operation for the heaviest barrier widths and the most intensive traffic positions. The electromechanical version provides the highest precision position control and quietest operation for premium architectural installations and facilities where hydraulic system maintenance is a concern. Both versions provide the high-speed operation required for emergency fast deployment at counter-terrorism barrier positions.
Shallow Foundation — Constrained Site Installation
The shallow foundation requirement directly enables M50/K12 certified anti-ram wedge barrier installation at sites where conventional deep foundations cannot be achieved — constrained urban sites, sites with underground services, bridge and elevated road approaches, and any location where the available excavation depth is insufficient for standard anti-ram barrier foundations. This shallow foundation capability is the installation advantage that extends certified M50 wedge barrier protection to the most constrained critical facility entrances.
Galvanization & LINE-X — Extreme Environment Durability
The galvanization and LINE-X coating options for extreme environments provide the material protection required for the most demanding installation conditions — marine and coastal environments with continuous salt spray and tidal exposure, high-cycle heavy vehicle traffic positions with maximum surface abrasion loading, and chemically exposed industrial facility positions. These extreme environment coatings directly extend the operational service life of the barrier to match the long design lifespans of the critical facilities it protects.
Nearly Maintenance-Free — Long-Term Low-Cost Operation
The nearly maintenance-free operational characteristic of the RBWB-4500 Series directly reduces the total ownership cost across the long service life of a permanently installed critical facility barrier — minimal maintenance requirements translate to minimal maintenance downtime, minimal maintenance cost, and maximum operational availability throughout the barrier's service life.
