Product Overview
The Surface Mount Planter 40 is a freestanding, IWA-14 crash-tested security solution, proven to stop a 7.5-tonne truck at 40mph (64kph), with no foundations or fixings required
The Surface Mount Planter 40 is a freestanding, crash-rated solution that delivers instant protection against hostile vehicle attacks while blending seamlessly into urban environments. Tested to BSI PAS 68, it has been proven to stop a 7.5-tonne truck travelling at 40mph (64kph).
With no requirement for foundations, pinning, or fixings, the planter can be installed or removed in as little as one hour, avoiding costly and disruptive excavation works. This makes it suitable as a temporary, permanent, or relocatable measure, offering flexibility for public spaces where security and accessibility need to work hand in hand.
The planter can also double as a flood defence barrier, providing added value for sites located near riverbanks or areas prone to water ingress. Aesthetics are a key part of the design, with bespoke cladding options available to ensure it complements surrounding architecture and integrates with existing street furniture, including benches.
