Details
HySecurity HydraWedge SM50 Twin Hydraulic Anti-Ram Vehicle Barrier Wedge
The HySecurity HydraWedge SM50 Twin is a bi-parting anti-ram hydraulic wedge barrier engineered to protect some of the most sensitive, high-security locations worldwide. Certified to ASTM M50-P1, IWA 14-1, and PAS 68 crash standards with zero penetration, this wedge system delivers maximum defense against vehicle threats. The Twin configuration is designed for wide traffic lanes and bi-directional openings, while its shallow foundation allows for simpler installation compared to deep mount solutions. Featuring a powerful hydraulic drive, redundant accumulator backup, and HySecurity’s Smart Touch Controller with extensive configurability, the HydraWedge SM50 Twin offers a high-performance solution for government, military, and commercial security applications.
