Tom HallUK security fencing manufacturer Jacksons Fencing has expanded its hostile vehicle mitigation (HVM) range with Impakt Defender by Rosehill Security, a leading provider of engineered rubber perimeter security products and ballistic solutions. Jacksons now has exclusive rights within the UK for both direct sales of the innovative barrier, as well as hire markets.
Temporary and easy to set up, Impakt Defender is perfectly suited to one-off events, able to protect crowds from vehicle attack. Combining a large footprint and unique shape, the barrier is IWA-14 rated, capable of stopping a 7.2 tonne N2A lorry travelling at 30 mph. It is also accredited by Secured by Design.

It’s the first HVM product in the Jacksons range that requires no foundations, enabling it to be quickly installed across all types of sites. Individual units weigh in at 430 kg, and are manufactured from 100% recycled rubber bonded with polyurethane for strength.
Additionally, Jacksons Fencing’s steel security fence panels can be mounted above the barriers to provide increased perimeter security. An ideal physical and visual deterrent, the combination can be rapidly deployed for temporary or permanent security installations, helping to protect people, buildings and infrastructure from hostile vehicle attacks.

A high-quality and tested product, Impakt Defender is an excellent addition to our existing HVM range, offering our clients increased flexibility and versatility.”
