1 ORIENTATION
1.1 Overview
The Model 730 vehicle barrier is designed to contain a high-speed vehicle impact and
prevent that vehicle from entering a restricted access control area. The barrier consists of
cast in place foundation stanchions and a barrier beam designed to raise and lower with
the aid of a hydraulic cylinder.

Figure 1: Model 730 Gate Beam Barrier
Figure 1 orients you to the basic components of the Model 730 vehicle barrier:
1.1.1 Gate Arm
The steel gate arm is engineered to distribute the crash impact load over the drive and
receiver stanchion. Coupled with the specified concrete bases, the stanchion frames
ensure the barrier does not move on impact.
1.1.2 Drive Stanchion
The drive stanchion includes both the hinge pin assembly and the drive system solution.
The product is offered in several configurations both manual and automatic. Either
solution employs the use of a hydraulic cylinder to push the barrier beam open or allow
gravity to lower the beam in a controlled descent. It is engineered using a “H” frame
structure to assure strength and rigidity. The drive stanchion is cast in place in a
subterranean concrete pour and has elevation grade locators to aid the installation. The
installation requires no above-grade concrete.
