Description
Following the success of Safetyflex’s surface mount Crash Block, the design team has developed the Surface Mount Planter 40 in response to growing client demand. This innovative unit integrates seamlessly with bench seating to complement existing public realm schemes, while delivering immediate hostile vehicle mitigation (HVM) protection.
Crash-tested to stop a 7.5-tonne truck travelling at 40mph (64kph), the Surface Mount Planter 40 is entirely free-standing, requiring no foundations, fixings, or pinning. It can be installed or relocated within as little as one hour, removing the need for disruptive and time-consuming excavation work.
In addition to high-impact resistance, this dual-purpose system can also be used as an effective flood defence solution along riverbanks, offering versatile protection for urban and at-risk areas alike.
