Delta Scientific, a leading manufacturer of counter-terrorist vehicle control systems used in the United States and internationally, today announced that 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,” said Keith Bobrosky, 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.”

 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.
