HySecurity HydraWedge SM50 Twin UPS Hydraulic Anti-Ram Vehicle Barrier Wedge
The HySecurity HydraWedge SM50 Twin UPS is a bi-parting high-security anti-ram wedge barrier engineered to protect high-risk facilities worldwide. Certified to the most rigorous domestic and international crash standards, including ASTM M50-P1, IWA 14-1, and PAS 68, the HydraWedge SM50 Twin UPS offers maximum protection with zero penetration. The Twin UPS configuration provides full operational redundancy and hundreds of cycles during power outages via its integrated DC Power Supply 120 UPS system. Featuring hydraulic drive technology, shallow foundation depth, rapid emergency operation, and durable powder-coated steel construction, this system is ideal for securing embassies, military bases, government complexes, airports, and commercial high-security sites requiring bi-directional access control.

*Wedge manufactured in metric scale. Use metric for precision measurements. All imperial measurements rounded to nearest foot.
**300 mm excavation consists of 200 mm reinforcing concrete + 100 mm roadway surface of any material.
***UPS cycle capacity varies depending on battery health, load, ambient temperature, and usage conditions.
****115V input requires 30A branch circuit.
