VPCB (Vertical Pivot Crash Barrier) systems have many features that make it effective, reliable,
and easy to use, and some of these important features are summarized in this manual. Note that not all
systems are identical as width, gate panel implementation, finish, accessories such as lights, and other auxil-
iary component options vary order to order. The most notable visual difference in crash models are the foun-
dation and bolster design. Drop arm only or those with gates are common and optional for all models. They
can be outfitted with full gate panels are typically comprised of chain link, ornamental, industrial, high-security
and anti-climb fencing to add anti-personel entry along with your forced entry denial.
The
Shield® M30 is available in two different foundation depths. Model VPCB-M30 is our standard founda-
tion and has a depth of 54”. Model VPCB-M30-SF is our Shallow Foundation and has a depth of only 20”.
The Shallow Foundation is ideal for locations with utilities that cannot be disturbed, high water tables, and
locations that cannot otherwise support our standard foundation depth. Our VPCB-M50 has one foundation
size and a depth of 66”.
