Certified to international standards, these barriers offer high impact resistance and feature fast operation speeds through hydraulic or electro-mechanical systems, ensuring minimal disruption to authorised vehicles. They integrate seamlessly with existing security infrastructure, including access control systems and CCTV and are customisable in size and finish to meet requirements.
Road Blockers
Our road blockers provide a versatile solution for controlling vehicle access without compromising on security. Ideal for entrances with high traffic flow, they are built with reinforced steel capable of halting heavy vehicles. Designed for continuous use with low maintenance requirements, they ensure long-term reliability. Safety features such as safety edges, traffic lights and audible alarms protect pedestrians and authorised vehicles during operation. Engineered to perform under extreme weather conditions, they include corrosion-resistant coatings and efficient drainage systems.
Why Choose Wedges and Safety Barriers
Implementing wedges and safety barriers brings multiple advantages that enhance your facility’s overall security posture. They offer enhanced vehicle security by acting as a physical deterrent, significantly reducing the risk of vehicle-ramming incidents. By deterring and delaying potential intruders, these barriers provide critical response time during attempted breaches, safeguarding people and valuable assets. They ensure compliance with security requirements set by government bodies and international standards organisations.
Rapid deployment and operation are crucial in high-security environments. Our barriers are designed for swift installation with modular designs that minimise downtime and disruption. User-friendly controls and remote operation capabilities enable security personnel to manage access effectively. Emergency features like Emergency Fast Operation (EFO) allow barriers to deploy rapidly in response to imminent threats.
High impact resistance is at the core of our product design. Using high-quality materials and engineering, our barriers ensure long-term performance and can withstand environmental challenges. Their low-maintenance design reduces operational costs over their lifespan, and adherence to safety standards protects your facility as well as operators and users interacting with the barriers.
Applications of Wedges and Barriers
Government Buildings
Securing government facilities is paramount due to the sensitive information they contain. Our barriers protect embassies and consulates against potential terrorist attacks, civil unrest and secure military bases by preventing unauthorised access. They also safeguard critical infrastructure like power plants and water treatment centres from sabotage, ensuring national security interests are maintained.
Commercial Facilities
Businesses must safeguard their people and operations. Our barriers help control access to corporate headquarters, preventing theft and unauthorised entry. Financial institutions, as high-value targets, benefit from robust barriers that deter and prevent vehicular attacks. Industrial sites like warehouses and factories are protected from potential breaches that could disrupt operations or endanger staff.
Public Spaces
Ensuring public safety in communal areas is a top priority. Our barriers prevent accidental or intentional vehicle entries in pedestrian zones such as shopping districts and plazas. They enhance security at event venues like stadiums and arenas without hindering pedestrian movement. Transport hubs like airports and train stations maintain security without disrupting passenger flow, thanks to our sophisticated access control solutions

A wedge barrier is a heavy-duty vehicle security barrier that rises from the ground to block vehicle access. It is commonly used at high-security entry points where unauthorised or forced vehicle entry needs to be prevented, while still allowing authorised vehicles through when the barrier is lowered.
Ezi Security options such as WEDGE I and WEDGE II are designed for sensitive entry points where strong vehicle access control and impact protection are required.
A boom gate controls vehicle access using a raising arm, but it is not designed to stop a forced vehicle attack. A wedge barrier provides a much stronger physical barrier for sites that need higher impact protection.
For example, WEDGE I and WEDGE II are suited to high-security entry points where unauthorised vehicle entry could create a serious safety or security risk.
Road blockers and wedge barriers are commonly used at government buildings, embassies, military sites, transport hubs, industrial facilities, commercial sites, airports, power stations and critical infrastructure.
Products such as WEDGE I are suited to highly sensitive entry points where vehicle access must be controlled and a stronger physical barrier is needed at the perimeter or entry point.
Yes. Wedge barriers are designed for high-security applications where the risk of unauthorised or forced vehicle entry is significant. They are often used at controlled access points where vehicles need to enter and exit, but the site still requires strong perimeter protection when the barrier is raised.
Ezi Security products such as WEDGE I and WEDGE II are suitable for sites that need a more robust vehicle security measure than a standard access control gate or boom gate.
Yes, selected wedge barriers are designed to withstand vehicle impact and help stop forced entry. The right product should be matched to the site’s risk level, vehicle approach, available stopping distance and required impact rating.
High-security wedge barrier options such as WEDGE I and WEDGE II may be suitable where a site needs stronger protection against unauthorised or hostile vehicle movement.
Wedge barriers can be designed for fast operation using hydraulic or electro-mechanical systems. Some systems also include emergency fast operation for urgent security situations, helping sites respond quickly while still managing authorised vehicle movement.
For example, WEDGE II includes technical features designed to support efficient raising of the blocking element, including pressure spring pistons and optimised lifting power.
Yes. Wedge barriers can integrate with access control systems, CCTV and other security infrastructure to help manage authorised vehicle movement.
Depending on the site, this may include intercoms, keypads, card readers, remote controls, vehicle detection or control room operation. Products such as WEDGE I and WEDGE II can form part of a broader high-security access control system.
Safety features for a road blocker or wedge barrier may include safety edges, traffic lights, audible alarms, vehicle detection, warning signage and emergency operation controls. These features help protect pedestrians, drivers and authorised vehicles while the barrier is in use.
Depending on the product and site requirements, systems such as WEDGE II may also include additional safety-related options, such as a safety skirt.
Yes. Road blockers and wedge barriers should be regularly maintained to support reliable operation, safety and long-term performance.
Maintenance may include checking moving parts, hydraulic or electro-mechanical systems, controls, safety devices and general wear from daily vehicle use. This is especially important for high-security products such as WEDGE I and WEDGE II, where reliable operation is critical.
The right option depends on the site’s risk level, traffic flow, available space, vehicle approach and how often vehicles need access. A wedge barrier or road blocker is generally suited to higher-risk sites that need stronger impact protection, while a vehicle gate may be suitable where controlled access and perimeter closure are the main requirements.
For sensitive sites, products such as WEDGE I or WEDGE II may be more appropriate than a standard boom gate because they are designed for stronger physical vehicle protection.
