A barrier system constructed of modules which includes a frame, a concrete foundation, a frame attached to the concrete foundation and supporting a non-vertical front side plate and a vertical rear side plate so that the front side plate and rear side plate meet at the top and are spread apart from each other at the bottom, slotted connectors on the front side and connectors on the rear side, the module adapted to be joined to an adjacent module either at the same elevation or a different elevation. The modules are joined together via bolts in the rear side connectors and threaded toggle bolts and drop toggle nuts through the front side slotted connectors. Extenders within the slots of the open ended connectors are used when connecting adjacent modules at different elevations to accommodate for slotted connectors of different sizes which must be connected to each other.

A shallow mount safety bollard assembly includes a bottom plate having a front edge, an aft edge, and a longitudinal axis extending in a front-to-aft direction and a lateral axis orthogonal to the longitudinal axis, a pair of side bars, having front ends and aft ends, attached to a top plate surface of the bottom plate, and extending generally parallel to the longitudinal axis, and a bollard connected to the bottom plate between the pair of side bars. The bollard may be permanently or removably connected to the base of the assembly.

An exemplary crash gate to guard against motor vehicles crossing a roadway in a direction from an attack side to a protected side including a buttress post assembly secured below ground in a first concrete foundation on a side of the roadway, the buttress post assembly having two buttress posts forming a barrier passage, a latch post assembly secured below the ground in a second concrete foundation on an opposite side of the roadway, the latch post assembly having two latch posts forming a latch gap, a barrier with a gate beam disposed in the barrier passage and extending from a buttress end to a latch end, and one of a vertical pin or a hook connected to the latch post assembly and positioned in the latch gap and the other one of the vertical pin or the hook located on the latch end, when the barrier is in a closed position the latch end is located in the latch gap and the vertical pin is positioned outside of the hook.

In one embodiment, a safety trailer has semi-tractor hitches at both ends and a safety wall that is fixed to one side of the trailer. That side, however, can be changed to the right or left side of the road, depending on the end to which the truck attaches. A caboose can be attached at the end of the trailer opposite the tractor to provide additional lighting and impact protection. Optionally, the trailer can be equipped with overhead protection, lighting, ventilation, onboard hydraulics, compressors, generators and other equipment, as well as related fuel, water, storage and restroom facilities and other amenities.

Disclosed herein is a bollard system including an impact receiving post and a foundation cage. The impact receiving post includes an outer surface, a proximal end, and a distal end. The foundation cage defines a three-dimensional lattice structure. The foundation cage is coupled to the proximal end of the impact receiving post and is configured for installation in concrete beneath a ground surface. The foundation cage defines a recess to receive a proximal portion of the impact receiving post. The foundation cage includes a horizontal stop member at least partially extending across the recess and supporting the impact receiving post and preventing the impact receiving post from extending further into the foundation cage before the concrete sets.

A vertically folding barrier gate arm has a proximal first segment and a distal second segment connected by a pivot hinge allowing them to fold. An extension set pivotally affixed to an outer offset bracket on the housing for the motor of the gate arm is connected to an outer offset bracket on the distal gate arm segment by a multi-articulated compound hinge formed by a plurality of links attached to each other by hinges providing a constrained range of rotation relative to each other. The gate arm translates from a fully extended position where the proximal and distal gate arm segments are parallel and co-linear along a horizontal longitudinal axis, to a vertically folded position where the proximal and distal gate arm segments lie substantially against each other within the plane of rotation of the first segment.

An end treatment array for crash attenuation includes a transition barrier module formed of side walls, end walls, a top wall, and a bottom wall, wherein the module walls together define an enclosed interior space. The end treatment array further includes a containment impact sled having an axially extending frame. The frame has a width sufficient to contain the transition barrier module within the frame when in an assembled configuration, and has an axial length which is at least one-half the length of the transition barrier module. The frame defines an interior volume, the purpose of which is to contain a substantial portion of the transition barrier module in the assembled configuration, and to contain debris caused by destruction of the plastic barrier modules in a vehicular impact. The containment impact sled is attached to the transition barrier module.

An erectable barrier's basic unit comprises a base configured to rest on a ground and a movable hurdle pivotally connected to the base and configured to be in a resting position and in an active upright position. The movable hurdle comprises a first movable hurdle portion and a second movable hurdle portion parallel one to the other, and connected by at least one connecting rod. An erectable barrier comprises a plurality of erectable barrier's basic units connected one to the other by at least one connector.

A variety of systems, methods, and compositions are disclosed, including in one method, a security arm barrier system, the system comprising: a drive stanchion mounted to a first substructure; an arm barrier coupled to the drive stanchion, wherein the arm barrier further comprises: a first member, wherein a proximal end of the first member is coupled to the drive stanchion; a second member, wherein a proximal end of the second member coupled to a distal end of the first member; and an articulating joint that couples the first member and the second member, and an energy absorbing material disposed within the first member and the second member; and a receiver stanchion mounted to a second substructure capable of receiving a distal end of the second member.
