Designed for ease of transportation, speed of installation and robust protection.
The ARX Stopper
The ARX Stopper is a compact, mobile hostile vehicle mitigation (HVM) barrier engineered for quick deployment and certified vehicle impact resistance. Ideal for protecting pedestrian zones, public events, or restricted access areas, the ARX Stopper delivers certified security without the need for ground fixings, tools, or extensive operational teams.
This versatile, self-contained barrier provides instant protection, easily positioned by a single operative and removed or reconfigured as needed, without sacrificing security, stability, or visual deterrent.
- Surface-mounted with no ground fixings
- Certified to IWA14 and VADS for vehicle impact protection
- One-person deployment – no tools or anchoring required
- Fully pedestrian permeable for free-flowing foot traffic
- Allows for bespoke event branding or advertising
How It Works
The ARX Stopper’s effectiveness lies in its robust chassis, stable geometry, and anti-skid base. On vehicle impact, the system absorbs and dissipates energy through controlled resistance and structural redirection, halting forward movement.
The system is linked together utilising cables hidden effectively by bright yellow pedestrian ramps, allowing pedestrian permeability between modules — perfect for high-footfall environments for ingress and egress.
