Successful test

for new

Heald HT1 Mantis 80 Array

Earlier last year, we launched our HT1-Mantis 80 shallowmount static bollard, which offers a great combination of security, style

and flexibility. With an installation depth of just 300 mm it allows high security at sites where deeper excavation is simply not

possible.

Research following the introduction of the Mantis 80 has shown that although it can be used as a single, standalone unit (and

was tested as such), it is often required for use in an array, to protect a much wider aperture. As such, our team has made some

adjustments to the Mantis 80’s design to enhance its performance when tested in an array of three units.

The Mantis 80 Array was tested by MIRA to the latest IWA14-1 standard, where it received a rating of IWA14-1: 2013 Bollard

V/7200[N2A]/80/90:3.5. This means that it arrested a 7.2 tonne truck travelling at a speed of 80kph. You can view video footage

of the test impact on our website; important points to note are that the Mantis Array completely stopped both the front axle

and engine block of the vehicle, completely disabling it and that the cab of the vehicle came to rest just a few metres from the

bollards.

Heald’s Mantis range offers unrivalled levels of flexibility for static bollard installation. Between the Mantis 64 and 80 single units

and the new Mantis 80 Array, virtually any site can be secured simply and stylishly.

At Heald, we believe that everything can be improved and adapted. Our designers and en-

gineers are constantly working on refining our products to make them more secure, more

cost efficient, more reliable and more user friendly.
