Anti-Ram Vehicle Barriers, Physical Security, Perimeter Protection and Anti-Terrorism Solutions

10/09/2026

Not every application requires the same level of protection. And not every bollard is built for the same job.

This photo from our Greensboro manufacturing facility captures just a small part of the range of bollard solutions we manufacture at Barrier1 Systems.

From a Tomcat S10 bollard with a 4" OD, crash-certified to stop a 5,000 lb vehicle traveling at 10 mph, to a Hercules M50 bollard with a 10-3/4" OD, crash-certified to stop a 15,000 lb vehicle traveling at 50 mph, the difference is hard to miss.

From storefronts and pedestrian areas to high-security facilities and critical infrastructure, different environments face different vehicle risks. That's why Barrier1 offers a broad range of bollard solutions designed for different threat levels, site conditions, and applications.

The right protection starts with the right barrier.

Protection you can stand behind.

Barrier1 Systems has a long history of supporting emerging talent as they enter the workforce and begin building careers in skilled manufacturing.

Two of our recent hires represent an exciting milestone in that history.

After connecting with Barrier1 at a recruiting event at Guilford Technical Community College (GTCC), Tyanna Whitehead and Jade Nguyen recently joined our manufacturing team as the first two female welders in Barrier1 Systems' history.

We're proud to welcome them to the team and to provide opportunities for the next generation of skilled tradespeople to learn, grow and build their careers in manufacturing.

Welcome to Barrier1, Tyanna and Jade!

Hospitals are places of care, but their entrances and pedestrian areas also see constant vehicle activity, including patients and visitors arriving during stressful and sometimes emergency situations. Protecting patients, visitors and healthcare professionals from both deliberate vehicle threats and accidental vehicle impacts is an important part of creating a safer facility.

These 25 Barrier1 Hornet M30 Shallow Mount Bollards shipped last week for installation at a hospital. The Hornet is a high-security, crash-rated bollard system designed with a foundation depth of just 12 inches, making it an ideal solution where underground utilities or other site conditions limit excavation depth.

Once installed, the bollards will also receive stainless steel covers, combining high-security protection with a clean, finished appearance.

Protection You Can Stand Behind.

The benefits of our new facility extend beyond the manufacturing floor.

The additional space has also improved our shipping and receiving logistics, making it easier to move products in and out of the facility and helping our team work more efficiently throughout the process.

As we continue settling into our new space and working through a busy production schedule, we’re already seeing the benefits of having more room to build, move and ship our products. We appreciate the patience of our customers and partners throughout this transition and look forward to continuing to improve our processes and efficiency.

Two Avenger M50 Manual Surface Set Drop Arms recently headed west to help protect a major electrical substation.

Electrical substations require more than perimeter fencing. Vehicle access points must remain secure while still allowing maintenance crews, contractors, and emergency responders to enter when needed.

The manual Avenger is well suited for these environments. Its surface-set design helps reduce excavation around underground utilities, grounding grids, conduits, and other buried services. Delivered prefabricated and pre-assembled, the Avenger helps streamline installation and minimize disruption to active facilities.

Manual operation provides dependable access control without relying on electrical power or hydraulic systems, while its M50 crash-rated performance helps protect against unauthorized vehicle access.

We're proud to manufacture solutions that help utilities and other critical infrastructure operators protect the facilities that keep our communities powered.

Protection you can stand behind.
