20 Delta MP5000 mobile deployable vehicle crash barriers have been ordered by the Secret Service to protect participants and observers from the new preferred method of international terrorists, using vehicles as a weapon. These mobile deployable vehicle crash barriers carry a K8 rating (M40 ASTM rating), stopping 7.5 ton (6400 Kg) vehicles traveling at 40 mph (64 kph).
“With the highly publicised vehicle attacks in Nice, Ohio State, Berlin and in Jerusalem, it is an absolute necessity that attendees at the January 20 inauguration of Donald Trump be protected against this threat,” avows Delta Vice President-Sales and Marketing Greg Hamm. The totally self-contained MP5000’s tow into position to control vehicle access within 15 minutes. No excavation or subsurface preparation is required. Once positioned, the mobile barricades will unpack themselves by using hydraulics to raise and lower the barriers off their wheels. DC-powered pumps will then raise or lower the barriers. Once the event is over, procedures are reversed and the barriers are towed away.
Delta always keeps an inventory of the MP5000s for purchase and quick delivery. In many cases, they are needed for events that come up quickly, such as politician or celebrity visits and other unexpected incidents.
