ShallowShield M50
Calpipe Security proudly introduces the PDT ShallowShield M50™, the first shallow-mount bollard system certified to the latest ASTM F2656-23 test standard, receiving an M50/P1 performance rating. Independently crash-tested and crash-certified, it stops a 15,000-pound vehicle traveling at 50 mph with less than 1 meter of penetration. Successfully tested as a 3-bollard array, it delivers maximum stopping power with an ultra-shallow 11-inch embedment depth, making it ideal for urban perimeter protection and sites where deep foundations aren’t possible. Engineered and certified for hostile vehicle mitigation and high-security applications, the ShallowShield M50™ meets or exceeds performance standards set in ASTM testing procedures including F3016-14, F3016-19, F2656-07, F2656-15, F2656-18a, F2656-20, F2656-23, and DoS SD-STD-02.01 for K12 rated barriers. This anti-ram bollard is built for anti-terror security, critical infrastructure protection, and demanding government, military, commercial, and municipal projects, offering unmatched reliability in a compact, shallow-foundation design.
