The ARX Stopper™ is a Hostile Vehicle Mitigation (HVM) Product, designed to slow and halt vehicles from progressing into safe zones or secure areas whether high security installations or pedestrian areas.

As a two part product they are easily transported and erected in a very short period of time and can be connected together by means of chains or poles to offer maximum protection.

Each ARX Stopper™ has arms with crowns situated at the end; if a vehicle comes into contact with the crown of the product, it is designed to tip and penetrate the body or underside of the vehicle to slow it down and eventually halt it. A securing bar locks the two elements of the product together by simply sliding straight through the middle of each. Anchor bars are situated within the arms of the product, to which a steel rope can be secured by a D-Shakle. This adds extra security and rigidity to the overall build.

The ARX Stopper™ holds a Vehicle Attack Standard (VADS) rating from CPNI (Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure), whose role it is to protect UK national security and to reduce the vulnerability of the UK national infrastructure to a variety of threats such as Terrorism, Espionage and Sabotage.
