Details & Specifications

MERIDIAN’s Archer anti-vehicle barriers provide a new option for security and protect an organization’s investment in its people, facilities and assets. Best-in-class for Hostile Vehicle Mitigation (HVM), MERIDIAN's Archer 1200 Vehicle Barriers fill a specific need that is simply unmatched by anything currently on the market. Strength and flexibility make them a vital component of your overall security plan. MERIDIAN's ultimate rapidly deployable Archer 1200 Barrier can augment fixed-in-place HVM (Hostile Vehicle Mitigation) barriers or be utilized as a primary security system for entry points, roadways and perimeters.

Archer 1200 Vehicle Barriers provide drop and stop convenience with no heavy equipment required.

• Allows for one-person deployment of an 8 barrier trailer kit in under 10 minutes.
• Permits pedestrian and emergency vehicle access without moving a barrier.
• Archer Hauler allows for easy movement of barriers by adults of any stature.
• No maintenance, electricity, hydraulics or batteries required.
• Full ballistic protection for any armor piercing 50 caliber rounds.

Unlike fixed bollards, our barriers are non-lethal to the driver and minimize shrapnel spray. They are 100% reusable after impact and have a lifetime warranty.
