ELECTRO-MECHANICAL OR HYDRAULIC OPTIONS
The Gibraltar M50 P1 Wedge Barrier is available in two separate configurations, full electro-mechanical and hydraulic powered. In recent testing both electro-mechanic and hydraulic emergency fast operate (EFO) deployment is listed at under 1.5 seconds, making both options viable solutions for a wide variety of wedge barrier needs. In addition, no pneumatics, springs, or assists of any sort are necessary for EFO deployment.
Gibraltar performs continuous, ongoing electro-mechanical testing to ensure the durability and length of wear of all electronic parts. Currently, this ongoing testing has reached well over one million continuous deployment cycles, with no signs of slowing or stopping. In addition, all US Department of State barriers must undergo required, third-party cycle testing to ensure strict adherence to electronic barrier requirements.
