Non-motorized And Automatic Circular Swing Arm - Beam Barrier
The Madoors USA G-1000 Non-Motorized and Automatic Circular Swing Arm Beam Barrier — product codes DKBS 30 and DKBS 80 — is a manual crash-tested PAS 68 and K12 certified swing arm barrier engineered as the most cost-effective certified hostile vehicle mitigation solution available for locations without electrical power, infrequent vehicle throughput, and pedestrian permeability requirements. Requiring only 215mm foundation depth for hinge and receptor posts — the shallowest available foundation requirement for a K12 PAS 68 certified barrier — and providing clear widths up to 10 meters in double-leaf configuration, the G-1000 is ideal for high streets, town centers, retail car parks, hotels, commercial warehouses, factories, schools, colleges, emergency vehicle access points, and transport industry installations where certified crash protection must be achieved at minimum civil works cost.
Available in hinged single leaf, bi-parting double leaf, and fully removable configurations, finishable in any RAL color, and offering large plain face areas on both sides suitable for corporate branding or environmental blending, the Madoors USA G-1000 is a versatile, low-visual-impact, competitively priced certified barrier that continues to evolve as new applications require innovative K12 PAS 68 solutions.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
The Madoors USA G-1000 is certified to PAS 68 and K12 — the internationally recognized vehicle security barrier standards confirming independently tested hostile vehicle mitigation performance at the K12 impact classification. PAS 68 certification provides independently tested vehicle security barrier performance documentation satisfying government, institutional, and commercial procurement specifications. K12 certification confirms stopping performance against a 15,000 lb vehicle at 50 mph — the highest available K-rating for vehicle access control barriers.
Foundation requirement is only 215mm depth for both the hinge post and the receptor post — the most shallow foundation available for a certified K12 PAS 68 barrier system. This 215mm foundation depth requirement is the primary installation advantage of the G-1000 over all other K12 certified barrier types — enabling installation in locations where underground services, hard surfacing, and shallow ground conditions prevent the deep foundations required by conventional crash-rated barriers.
Clear width availability is up to 10 meters in double-leaf bi-parting configuration — covering the full range of standard road and driveway widths at high street, town center, and commercial facility pedestrian access points. Single-leaf hinged configuration covers narrower openings where run-back space on one side is available. Fully removable configuration provides complete clear width for occasional authorized vehicle access without any permanent barrier hardware obstructing the opening.
The barrier operates entirely without electrical power — swinging on the hinge post pivot by manpower for open and close cycles, with the receptor post providing the closed position structural support required for K12 certified crash performance. No motor, no control system, no power supply, and no access control wiring are required — reducing both installation cost and ongoing operational cost compared to all motorized crash barrier alternatives.
The large plain face areas on both sides of the barrier leaf provide corporate branding surfaces — accepting applied graphics, brand colors, and identification markings — or can be finished to blend with the surrounding environment through RAL color matching.
KEY FEATURES
K12 & PAS 68 Crash Certified — No Electrical Power
The G-1000 achieves K12 and PAS 68 certified crash protection without any electrical power requirement — the only K12 certified barrier solution that combines the highest available crash certification with complete off-grid operation. This combination directly addresses the specific installation challenge of locations that require certified vehicle protection against the highest threat level but cannot be served by powered barrier systems due to the absence of electrical infrastructure.
215mm Foundation Depth — Minimum Civil Works
The 215mm hinge and receptor post foundation depth is the shallowest available installation requirement for any K12 PAS 68 certified barrier — enabling installation where underground services, utilities, shallow rock, and hard surfacing prevent the 500 to 1,500mm foundations required by rising bollards, road blockers, and other certified crash barrier types. This minimal foundation depth is the engineering basis for the G-1000's description as the most cost-effective certified K12 PAS 68 solution — reducing civil works cost, installation time, and site disruption to the minimum achievable for a certified hostile vehicle mitigation barrier.
Up to 10-Meter Clear Width — Double Leaf
Double-leaf bi-parting configuration provides clear widths up to 10 meters — covering the widest standard vehicle access road widths at high street, town center, commercial, and emergency service locations without requiring intermediate support posts within the opening. Ten-meter clear width availability ensures that the G-1000 can serve as the emergency vehicle access point in a pedestrian-priority zone where the primary purpose of the barrier is to prevent unauthorized vehicle intrusion while maintaining the option for emergency vehicle passage.
Hinged, Bi-Parting & Fully Removable Configurations
Three operational configurations cover the full range of access management requirements. Hinged single-leaf provides cost-effective vehicle exclusion at narrower openings with available hinge side swing space. Bi-parting double-leaf provides up to 10-meter clear width for wider openings with access from both sides. Fully removable configuration allows the barrier to be completely cleared from the opening for occasions when unrestricted vehicle access is required — such as delivery periods, event setup, and emergency access — without any permanent hardware obstructing the full opening width.
Pedestrian Permeability — Maintained Alongside Vehicle Exclusion
The swing arm barrier geometry maintains pedestrian permeability — pedestrians can walk around or through the barrier ends and hinge point gaps without obstruction — while physically preventing vehicle passage through the certified barrier line. This pedestrian permeability alongside vehicle exclusion is the fundamental requirement of high street, town center, and retail car park hostile vehicle mitigation installations where the purpose of the barrier is to protect pedestrians from vehicle attack while maintaining open pedestrian access to the protected area.
Ideal for High Streets, Town Centers & Retail Applications
The low visual impact, RAL color availability, corporate branding surface, and pedestrian permeability of the G-1000 make it specifically suited to high street and town center retail pedestrian zone hostile vehicle mitigation — where the barrier must provide certified K12 protection against vehicle-borne terrorist attacks on pedestrian areas without creating the institutional security appearance of conventional crash barriers that would detract from the commercial and civic character of the protected environment.
Emergency Vehicle Access — Infrequent Vehicle Throughput
The swing arm configuration allows authorized emergency vehicles to pass through the barrier line by manually opening the arm — providing emergency vehicle access without requiring powered barrier activation, remote control, or access control credential verification. This simple manual emergency access capability makes the G-1000 the standard specification for emergency vehicle access points in pedestrian zones where the barrier must be openable without electrical power by emergency services personnel who may not carry access credentials for the specific installation.
RAL Color Options & Corporate Branding Surfaces
Any RAL color can be specified for the barrier arm and post finish — allowing the barrier to match the color scheme of the surrounding streetscape, corporate identity of the retail or commercial operator, or the institutional color standards of the government or educational facility. The large plain face areas on both sides of the barrier arm provide usable surface area for corporate branding graphics, wayfinding markings, and environmental integration finishes — transforming the barrier from a purely functional security element into a branded visual feature of the protected environment.
Most Cost-Effective K12 PAS 68 Solution
The G-1000 is described as the most cost-effective simple crash-tested K12 PAS 68 compliant solution currently available — with the combination of 215mm foundation depth, no electrical power requirement, simple swing arm mechanical operation, and certified K12 PAS 68 performance delivering the highest available protection level at the lowest achievable installation and operating cost. This cost advantage is sustainable across the full G-1000 product lifecycle — no motor maintenance, no electrical system maintenance, no access control system maintenance, and no power consumption cost throughout the operational life.
Low Visual Impact — Evolving Product Range
The G-1000's low visual impact design philosophy and competitive pricing position it as an evolving product range that will continue to develop as new applications identify requirements for innovative, low-impact, certified hostile vehicle mitigation solutions. This commitment to product evolution ensures that the G-1000 range remains current with emerging application requirements and procurement specifications.
ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION SEQUENCE
Opening Assessment & Configuration Selection
Opening width, available swing space for hinged single-leaf or bi-parting configuration, pedestrian flow patterns, emergency vehicle access requirement, RAL color and branding specification, and foundation depth clearance from underground services are confirmed. Hinged, bi-parting, or removable configuration is selected.
215mm Foundation Excavation & Post Installation
Foundation positions for hinge post and receptor post are excavated to the 215mm specified depth. Post foundations are concrete-set to the installation engineering specification. Post alignment and plumb are verified before concrete cures to full strength.
Barrier Arm Installation & Hinge Connection
The barrier arm is installed on the hinge post connection. Swing arc, receptor post engagement in the closed position, and manual operation effort are verified. Closed position structural engagement with the receptor post is confirmed for K12 certified performance.
RAL Finish & Branding Application
RAL color finish is applied to all barrier components. Corporate branding graphics or environmental blending finishes are applied to the large plain face areas on both sides of the barrier arm.
Pedestrian Permeability Verification
Pedestrian passage around and through the barrier system in the closed vehicle-exclusion position is verified — confirming that the barrier does not obstruct pedestrian movement while maintaining certified vehicle exclusion.
Operational Testing & Certification Handover
Manual opening and closing operation by a single person is tested across the full swing arc. Fully removable configuration function is tested where applicable. K12 and PAS 68 certification documentation and installation records are compiled into the project handover package.
