1625 Surface Mount Wedge Barrier System
The Wedge Barrier is ideal in applications where a higher degree of vehicle traffic control is desired, but without the expense of bollards or crash beams – making it ideal for apartment communities, gated condominiums, car rental agencies, parking lots and toll booths. The Wedge Barrier must be used with the 1602-590 operator (sold separately).
Surface/shallow mount system provides cost savings over foundation mount crash systems
Help prevent passenger vehicles and light-duty trucks from driving through a controlled traffic lane.
The DKS Wedge Barrier Accessory System is designed to be used with the 1602-590 operator. The Wedge Barrier is ideal in applications where a higher degree of vehicle traffic control is desired, but without the expense of bollards, wedges or crash beams – making it ideal for apartment communities, gated condominiums, car rental agencies, parking lots and toll booths.
Certification to ASTM F2656-23, PU-30 (P1,P2).
A vehicle weighing 5,070 lb traveling at 30 mph will not shear or budge the 1625 Wedge on direct impact.
CAUTION: not to be used in areas subject to freezing weather with the potential for snow and ice accumulation.

Stop Them with the 23.5” Tall Wedge
The heavy-duty reinforced steel wedge and posts are engineered to deliver debilitating damage to passenger vehicles and light-duty trucks attempting to drive through a controlled traffic lane. Not only tough but fast too, the Wedge raises and lowers in approximately 3.5 seconds, stopping vehicles with a reinforced surface area of 23.5” high by up to 13’ 8” wide of solid steel — backed by the simple physics of a timeless Wedge.

Demand Respect with the 1625 Wedge
The 1625 Wedge Barrier System provides the engineering and physical theft to stop barrier runners in their tracks — preventing theft, additional costly repairs, and further damage.
The 1625 is counter balanced and designed for simple mechanical linkage to the 1602-590 Operator, keeping Barrier Arm and Wedge Barrier in sync — with no separate motors or hydraulic valves to worry about.
