Another World First from
Heald
Heald is proud to announce a new entry in our ever evolving line
of perimeter security products – the shallowmount
HT1-Mantis. Evolved from our existing HT1-Raptor range, the
Mantis has been designed with a number of unique features to
set it apart from the crowd.
Requiring an extremely shallow excavation of only 250mm, our team can usually install the unit in a little under an hour.
This makes the Mantis one of the shallowest, easiest installs in the industry, with installation possible in locations where
more traditional solutions simply will not fit.
With this versatility in mind, the Mantis can be used with a range of covers. As standard it comes fitted with a stylish
modern stainless steel sleeve, but different options can be specified to ensure that the Mantis can be integrated into most
designs. Due to its slim, unobtrusive nature the Mantis is ideal for locations where style is of great importance, but security
cannot be compromised. It also allows easy pedestrian access, making it perfect for busy city centre locations.
All of this comes built on a foundation of Heald’s robust security. The Mantis has recently been crash tested at MIRA, and
has received a PAS68:2013 Fixed Bollard V/7500(N2)/64/90:0.0/0.0 rating. This means that it halted a 7.5 tonne truck
travelling at a speed of 64kph. Although the sacrificial steel cover was destroyed in the impact, the Mantis emerged
virtually unscathed, ensuring continued protection even after an attack.
Furthermore, the Mantis has been specifically engineered to function equally well as a standalone singular unit (as tested)
or as part of an array. This makes it the ideal solution for securing either narrow entrances where there is no space for a
large installation or much wider ones as part of an array.
