Publifor® HVM is a flexible, surface-mounted hostile vehicle mitigation (HVM) barrier, designed for situations where immediate protection, fast deployment and flexibility are required.
The system combines a heavy steel jersey barrier with high-security fencing infills to provide crash-tested vehicle stopping performance without permanent foundations.
- Crash-tested flexible HVM solution
- Surface-mounted – no excavation required
- Fast installation and redeployment
- Modular system for straight lines, corners and slopes
- Compatible with multiple high-security infills
- Suitable for temporary or semi-permanent use
Publifor® HVM has been crash tested in accordance with IWA 14-1:2013.
Classification:
V/7200 [N2A] / 64 / 90 : 3.5
The system is designed to stop a 7.2-ton vehicle at 64 km/h, with controlled penetration.
Publifor® HVM is a modular flexible barrier system consisting of:
Steel jersey barrier base units
Vertical and horizontal steel posts
Interlocking “tooth & pin” connection system
Optional fencing and screening infills
Base units can be filled on site to increase mass and friction while remaining transportable when empty.
Installed using forklift or crane
Up to 25 m installed in approximately 1 hour
Easy to dismantle, relocate and reconfigure
Ideal for sites where protection must be installed or removed at short notice.
The unique tooth & pin connection system mechanically links each unit, maintaining barrier continuity even after impact.
A rubber layer beneath the base units increases friction during impact, improving stopping performance on concrete surfaces.
Straight alignments and angled sections
Internal corners (90° and 270°)
Adaptable to slopes up to 5%
Stepping capability up to 100 mm between units
Publifor® HVM can be combined with different infills to match security and visibility requirements:
Securifor® welded mesh – maximum security
Nylofor® welded mesh – security with visibility
Polycarbonate panels – transparent protection
Branding or privacy screens – visual screening and communication
Barrier length: approx. 1,750 mm
Barrier width: approx. 800 mm
Overall height (with fence): up to 2.0 m
(Exact dimensions depend on configuration and infill type.)
