Anti Ram Barriers

Anti Ram Raid Barriers

Safeguarding your property from vandalism and theft is essential, whether your premises are commercial, industrial, or residential. If your business or home is located somewhere with a higher risk of being damaged by vehicles, it’s even more important to take preventative steps, such as installing an anti-ram device in front of a vulnerable entry point.

Vandals and thieves often use vehicles as tools to break into buildings in a manoeuvre commonly known as ram-raiding. The force of the impact from the vehicle against a door or window causes enough damage for the criminals to gain access to the inside, where they can cause further damage and steal property worth hundreds to thousands of pounds.

This type of financial loss can be devastating, especially when businesses are unable to operate until their damaged storefront can be repaired. It can also cause a lot of mental distress, shaking up local communities and potentially putting customers off.

Why leave yourself and your premises open to such disasters when you could lower the risk with an anti-ram barrier? These devices can deter ram-raiders and reduce the impact of their vehicle even if they do try their luck.

Ram Raid Vehicle Barriers

It’s not just shops, banks, and ATMs that are at risk from ram-raiders. Nor do they limit their targets to city centres and high streets. Any property, from convenience stores to storage facilities, could be targeted by criminals looking for something valuable to loot.

This isn’t very pleasant to think about, but it’s necessary to consider whether you’re doing all you can to protect your premises from such aggressive offences. Even if ram-raid incidents are low in your area, having an anti-ram barrier from Roller Shutter UK can provide a visual deterrent to prevent ram-raiders from viewing your property as a potential target.

Horizontal ram barriers are a cost-effective solution for limiting the risk of being ram-raided, as well as reducing the physical impact and the extent of the damage that a vehicle can do to the front of the building. They can provide protection for all kinds of buildings, especially where there is a large access point, such as a loading dock.
