The NOR89 Surface Mount Wedge Barrier implements a design focused on simplicity and minimal operational hassle while maintaining the strong force protection of a Norshield vehicle barrier system. The NOR89 is tested and certified by the United States Marshall’s Service, capable of stopping a 4,000 lb vehicle traveling at a speed of 30 mph. The NOR89 provides a moderate level of security within a refined design perfect for sites seeking mid-range force protection. Upon impact, forces are first absorbed by steel weldment and then transmitted to the foundation of the unit creating strong force protection.
