Terror attacks with vehicles and out of control vehicles are a threat for event participants, passers-by and residents.
Municipal authorities and organizers are constantly faced with the challenge of how to ensure the safety of their citizens at public events such as markets, public festivals, festivals, Christmas markets, concerts or demonstrations.
However, it is often the high purchase price and maintenance costs of technically complex anti-terror barriers that prevent an investment.
People deserve safety
CITYSAFE® protects public places from terrorist attacks with vehicles. This new system differs fundamentally from other anti-terrorism barriers.
CITYSAFE® is a preventive vehicle lock that prevents unauthorised vehicles from passing through or breaking through. It is simple, and highly effective.
CITYSAFE® is the security tool for protecting your public events. Low acquisition costs and no follow-up costs for maintenance or repairs save municipal budgets.
CITYSAFE® is a patented development of the iron foundry Torgelow in Germany. Cast in one piece from a highly stable special material. All the barriers used in our crash test scenarios so far did not show any structural damages and could be used again immediately.
Advantages & good reasons to invest
Accessibility for some wheelchairs, prams and bicycles, low risk of tripping
Favourable acquisition costs and no follow-up costs for maintenance or repair
Unobtrusive, transparent, can be set up at short notice
Extremely robust material, supervision- and maintenance-free
CITYSAFE® exceeds international crash test standards PAS 68 and IWA 14-1
Much more escape- and panic-proof than numerous existing mobile and permanently installed vehicle locks
Delay-free access for rescue vehicles
Installation requires no foundations, electrics, hydraulics or electronic controls
Transportable, quick and easy to implement, with simple means of transport
Unbreakable even in the event of a crash, unlimited reusability
CITYSAFE® is patented
This is how it works
- In a crash CITYSAFE® flips over due to optimized center of gravity.
- The tips of its columns and the edge of the groundplate get stuck in the ground and form a wedge even for big trucks.
- In a crash at higher speed the barrier flips over and stops the vehicle by converting the speed of the vehicle into vertical forces..
- The vehicle becomes immobile.
