How It Works

The Claw is a solid steel, surface-mounted HVM unit that is simply positioned in place – no tools, no groundworks, and no need for guarding. Its unique shape and weight distribution allow it to delay and disrupt the motion of an incoming vehicle upon impact, without appearing hostile or obstructive in its passive state. 

Easily deployed by a single operative, The Claw can be relocated and reconfigured in moments to adjust to new layouts or crowd management requirements. Its compact profile and galvanised finish ensure both visual deterrence and weather durability.
