Rapid Defender VSB System

Manufactured by Rosehill, a specialist in innovative recycled rubber perimeter security products and ballistic solutions, Rapid Defender is just what its name suggests: a defensive system that is quick and easy to deploy, remove and relocate.

In fact, Rapid Defender high security vehicle barriers are so lightweight and easy to install that a four-person team can erect a barrier across the width of a road in as little as 30 minutes.

Manufactured from 100% recycled rubber, it may be more than 65% lighter than concrete, with each unit weighing just 49kgs, but it is extremely strong and resilient thanks to the natural properties of rubber. Ease and speed of installation from the Rapid Defender make these anti-vehicle security barriers ideal for public realm environments, visitor attractions, sports events and commercial environments.

Providing both a physical and visual security deterrent to protect against vehicle as a weapon (VAW) attacks and unauthorised vehicular access, Rapid Defender vehicle mitigation barriers are suitable for any type of site, event or location – from the streets around a stadium to the uneven topography of a festival site. It provides true versatility with custom configuration to include as many or as few pedestrian and vehicle portals as you need, along with optional covers for bespoke branding opportunities.

Our range of recycled rubber systems from Rosehill also includes the Impakt Defender.
