Why develop a swing gate to mitigate small, medium and large vehicle attacks?
Around the world we are seeing a change in hostile events, where the weapon used to stage an attack are smaller and easier to access such as light and medium vehicles. These are specifically used to inflict harm on innocent people gathering in open and public spaces, highlighting the need for increased protection against all and every vehicle threat.
Traditionally Cova Security Gates have led the way in developing perimeter security solutions designed and tested to stop high mass, high-speed vehicle attacks. Today we are also concerning ourselves with protecting people and places against a range of attack methods using smaller vehicles. Importantly the design philosophy used to deal with higher velocity high mass attacks are not always suitable for a 4x4 or a small car, as such we have spent considerable time and energy ensuring one gate is effective in stopping multiple vehicle types.
Purposely designed as a low maintenance solution, suitable for locations with no access to electrical power yet require complete protection from a range of vehicle-borne threats.
Ideal for high streets, town centres, airports, markets and sports stadiums where the solution needs to be permanent or semi-permanent.
YOUR Duty to Protect People and Places
As of 15th November 2021 the UK National terrorism threat level has been raised from substantial to SEVERE – meaning an attack is highly likely.
With the proposed The Protect Duty placing greater emphasis on duty holders to 'mitigate' threats to their event, and with recent relaxing of Covid-19 restrictions opening the doors to events such as Christmas markets, sport or concerts, NOW is the time to review your security needs.

Construction
Comprises our patented arrestor system (European Patent No 2369126) within an aluminum enclosure.
The barrier can be hinged or completely removable.
Designed to be mounted between Cova’s standard range of crash tested bollards, adapted with hinge and locking pins.
With just a shallow foundation depth of 215mm.

Operation
Removal of pin, pushed open or closed manually.
Opens with tamper proof locking function.
Easily secured in the closed position with a specific padlock which is applied to the hinge pin and locking pin.
The barrier can be hinged or completely removable via hi-ab lorry within minutes.

Finish
Finished in a client specified RAL No.
However, given the flexibility of the design, we can discuss other methods of finish.
The large flat areas on both faces of the barrier can be customised signage, branding, company logo, advertising or any aesthetic brief to blend with the installed environment.
