Traffic access control

professionals can now set up MP5000 portable barriers on concrete, asphalt, compacted

soils or vegetation in 15 minutes or less to provide certified M50 stopping

power. Original models provide M40 protection while the new models stop 15,000

pound (6804 kg) medium-duty trucks traveling at 50 mph (80.4 kph).

"Significantly, we

are releasing the first M50 rated portable barrier system to the world at a

time when military grade portable protection is imperative," emphasizes

Keith Bobroski, Delta Scientific senior vice president. "With over 2,000

working units in the field over the past decade, this portable barrier has

proven its capabilities to clients throughout the world. Especially important

to our government customers and select commercial clients, high security

professionals can now protect assets that have traditionally required an M50

rating with a portable product."

The MP5000 is available in 12-, 16- and 20-foot openings. It is easily

towed behind a truck or other vehicle to its location where it sets up in less

than fifteen minutes. Once it has performed its duty, it is quickly packed up

and towed to its next project. The MP5000 is self contained and battery

powered. It has been seen at G20 meetings, presidential inaugurations, papal

parades, international embassies, municipal parades, Mardi Gras, stadiums and

other civilian locales from the United States to Australia and is especially

popular at forward operating military bases from Afghanistan through the rest

of the world.
