Introducing A Rapid Deploy Fence Barrier System
As the world changes and grows, so do the demands for increased security. As Henry Ford once said, “If I would have asked people what they wanted, they’d have said faster horses.” For over 40 years, Ameristar has delivered innovative fence & gate products that are high-quality, aesthetically pleasing, and of superior design strength that installs with ease yet still meets the high demands of the security industry. Our goal is to continue to provide the next best thing that helps our customers feel protected and safe.
In recent years, Ameristar has seen the need for a new kind of security fence that can be rapidly deployed. Critical sites require a system that is both robust and secure but also semi-permanent and easily relocated. Hence the introduction of our GridLock® rapid deploy fence barrier, a one-of-a-kind industrial strength security system. Designed for fast one-sided installation, this system uses a single tool to secure our patented Talon Brackets. These brackets feature a tamper resistant design and allow for infinite directional changes during install.
Following this simple installation, the 8x8 panels are attached to 2-7/8" plated posts - so no more trying to figure out what post you need. Our customers also expressed a need to be able to install this temporarily on concrete or in the ground for increased security. The singular plated post gives you the option to install using our ground anchor or on a baseplate extension utilizing our twist and lock design for a damage free installation.
“GridLock was created out of a customer demand for a solution more robust than chain-link (but not as robust as permanent fence) while maintaining the ability to quickly deploy and be moved as the needs change during construction,” says Amy Dunton, our Business Development Specialist.
When not in use, our system provides a simple compact storage solution. The storage solution can be easily stowed away on a pallet holding 35 panels or as many as 80 posts. The panels feature a .5” X 3” X 10.5 ga welded wire mesh the same mesh as our Wireworks Anti-Climb fence system - boasting the highest level of cut-through and climb resistance. The panel design has three V-folds, which add strength and allow for self-nesting during storage.
Designed with speed in mind the GridLock® rapid deploy security barrier helps save project costs by quickly securing assets. Whether for highly effective crowd control on a municipal or federal site or protecting critical infrastructure sites during construction.
