Product Overview
The Planter 40 is the world’s smallest crash-rated security planter, tested to BSI PAS 68 to stop a 7.5-tonne truck at speeds of up to 50mph (80kph)
The universal slimline planter is the world’s smallest crash-rated security planter and the only product of its kind that can be manufactured to any size required. Designed as a surface-mounted system with an ultra-shallow foundation, it avoids the need for costly utility diversions and is ideal for sites with restricted space.
Its slim profile makes it well suited for narrow walkways outside banks, train stations, stadiums, and other busy public areas, providing high-level security without taking up valuable floor space. Weighing only 100kg, the planter can be positioned without heavy lifting equipment, offering quick and simple installation. The minimum standard size is 1.48m in length and 450mm in width, with bespoke dimensions available to suit client requirements.
The planter has been crash tested to BSI PAS 68, proven to stop a 7.5-tonne truck travelling at 30mph (48kph), 40mph (64kph), or 50mph (80kph) at 90 degrees.
