Best Selected Exhibitor
at Counter
Terror Expo 2014
Here at Heald we were very proud of our stand at Counter Terror Expo this year; a lot of hard work went into
the design of the backdrop and layout, not to mention the preparation of our products for display. So it was
especially nice to hear that we have won the prestigious “Best Selected Exhibitor” award from the directors
of Exhibition Update magazine. This award is presented to the exhibitors considered by the judges to be the
most eye catching and impressive at the show.
This year, we had two demonstration products on the stand, the award winning Matador 3 surface mount
sliding bollard system and the unique shallow mount Raptor rising bollard. These were operated by our
revolutionary new Hydra remote control and monitoring system.
Heald Mantis 80 IWA14-1
Crash Test Success
Earlier this year, Heald’s Mantis 80 shallow mount static was tested to the new IWA14-1 standard at MIRA’s
testing ground. With a classification of IWA14-1: 2013 V/7200[N3]/80/90 the Mantis will halt a 7.2 tonne truck
travelling at a speed of 80kph (approx. 50mph). As well as proven high security, the Mantis is also designed
to be easy to integrate with existing modern architecture and landscape design. It is available with a range
of stylish stainless steel covers to blend in with any environment.
Heald Launch
Revolutionary
Hydra Remote
Control and Monitoring System
Heald are already well known for innovation in roadblocker and bollard design, with an award winning
range that includes the world’s only surface mount sliding bollard system (the Matador), the world’s only 30
tonne tested blocker (the Commander), the unique shallow mount Raptor bollard and the shallow mount
Viper blocker. The new Hydra remote control and monitoring system is set to completely revolutionise the
way that perimeter security systems are used.
The Hydra works on a master / slave principal. Slave units are installed in each blocking unit, and can be
controlled by a central master unit through a static control panel, similar to existing systems. Each slave unit
monitors the status of its blocker unit, and reports back to the master any changes in status. This could in-
clude raising and lowering or any faults. This information can be relayed to security operatives via the static
control panel. However, this is far from the limit of the Hydra’s communication abilities. Faults and status can
be relayed via text message or via a tablet app, which can also be used to control units. The Hydra can also
report specific issues that may occur in a bollard or blocker, allowing faster and more efficient repairs to be
made. If the faulty or damaged unit is part of an array, the Hydra will allow remaining units in the array to
function normally, causing as little disruption to traffic as possible. The Hydra is currently only available with
Heald automatic perimeter security systems.
