The need for an experienced and dependable company to assess, integrate, install, and maintain perimeter security devices grows as more manufacturers enter into the Perimeter Security and Access Control Industry, and as more locations look to integrate multiple security items. Now, more than ever, it is time to assess the various external threats to your location and to determine the most effective way to integrate various devices to protect your assets from unauthorized vehicle entry.

TAGlink Access Control Point System

The TAGlink ACP System is currently the most sophisticated, cost effective, and experienced system available on the market.  It meets and/or exceeds the current UFC requirements as an Access Control Point Device.   TAG has implemented this system at many locations and have passed the rigorous PVT testing requirements.   It can seamlessly integrate and automate any available vehicle barrier, bollard, gate, beam, turnstile, traffic arm, or signs and signals. 

Do not get stuck utilizing an unproven ACP system that may cost less up front.  Having to retest the system multiple times with the government will wind up costing you more. 

TAG Vehicle Barrier Systems

Total Automation Group has experience with a wide range of VBS products consisting of barriers, gates, and bollards which are mounted or installed at a vehicular access point. Typical operation extends from below the ground into the path of oncoming vehicles to prevent passage and on demand retract to allow vehicle passage and traffic control. These products are designed to multiple levels of threat based on the weight and speed of the vehicle. For many products, testing and certification are according to the U.S. Department of State standard SD-STD-02.01 Rev. A. or ASTM standards. TAG can handle maintenance and service on all DOS rated and non DOS rated products.

Vehicle Barrier Services

Total Automation Group offers a wide range of services to compliment the industry’s various products. We perform technical assistance, turn-key installations, maintenance, service, and support. A relationship established with Total Automation Group does not end with the procurement of products from us or the manufacturer, but continues to the service and maintenance of the units for the life of the barriers.

TAG-RSS2000

The RSS2000 Electric Wedge is currently the most recommended product in the industry. Total Automation Group has had great success installing, supplying and integrating this unit at hundreds of locations. It is on cutting edge of innovative vehicle barrier systems. It represents advancements in nearly all aspects of the traditional shallow foundation wedge barrier. The reasons for our success with this product can be attributed to the following:

1- High Duty Cycles – Capable of completing 300 complete up/down cycles per hour
2- Normal Operational Speed – 3 seconds during normal use
3- EFO Speed- Within 1.5 seconds during emergency fast operation sequence (EFO)
4- Fully enclosed Electric Motors- The ServoEM actuators are IP-67 and can operate under water and are “drip-proof totally enclosed enclosures
5- Cold Weather Solution- There is not a better option than the RSS2000 or RSS3000 for cold weather applications. The servo motors and internal heating systems provided with these barriers are designed to operate in extreme environments. Snow and freezing temperatures do not affect these units. (see attached pics)
6- Manual Operation- The ServoEM is specially designed to be “manually operated with cordless drill fitted with the proper drive”
7- ServoEM – This barrier is the only barrier with a “Servo-electromechanical actuator and motor to allow for high volume usage”* In fact, this barrier is designed to be operated like an aluminum gate arm as far as it relates to duty cycle. The RSS-2000 can go up and down all day, everyday combining the highest level of crash rating at K-12 with the ability to operate as an access control device.
8- Battery Backup System- The RSS-2000 is the only K-12 barrier that can provide “200 operations” of no power operation in the case of lost power. In fact, internal testing shows our system can operate two 5Post barrier’s over 400 times off our battery backup system. Our total system battery backup is a custom designed RSSI product that far exceeds the no-power operational capabilities of any other crash rated barrier.
9- Warranty- 3-year Electrical and 5-year Mechanical warranty goes above and beyond the standard barrier warranty offered by other manufacturer’s of one year.

There are many “crash certified” products but the certification is no longer the end user’s concern. A crash certification is 1/10th of the goal for architects, engineers, etc. The real concern is reliability, warranty, maintenance costs and integration capabilities. The end user wants to know that the unit will operate effectively and properly when needed. It is no longer acceptable for a barrier to be just DOS K12 or ASTM M50 rated. TAG pushes for quality and reliability throughout the life of the product. Feel free to contact us for CAD drawings, specs or for any questions.

HYDRAULIC WEDGE BARRIERS

There are several hydraulic vehicle barriers available in the market and TAG can supply, install, integrate, or maintain any and all units from B&B ARMR to ATG Certified products.
We do have our preferences based on our many years of experience. The Model 820 from B&B has improved tremendously in the past year and is extremely reliable with the proper maintenance structure in place. These units can be also be integrated with stop lights, wig wags, gate arms, etc. Feel free to contact us for CAD drawings, specs or for any questions.

Model 400 & 450

The B&B ARMR Model 400 and Model 450 Cantilever Crash Gate displays the best combined vehicle and intruder protection available. This gate showcases the strongest force protection of any gate inside an expert design that optimizes functionality, reliability, and operation. TAG has installed a large amount of these gates around the US as it has demonstrated the most reliability and integration capabilities. Feel free to contact us for CAD drawings, specs or for any questions.

Model B30 & ATG bollards

The B&B ARMR Model B30 family of bollards is powerful, reliable, and versatile systems that command considerable force protection. The bollards use a TAG supplied hydraulic power unit, a state of the art integral actuator system, offering better performance in a limited space. TAG also supplies and installs various ATG bollards from non rated manual units to shallow foundation bollards. Feel free to contact us for CAD drawings, specs or for any questions.

RSS3000 Beam Barrier and CR-25

The cable beam barrier is a powerful force protection product integrating quality with strength. Cable beam barriers are tested and certified by the United States Navy for a crash rating, capable of stopping a 10,000lbs vehicle traveling at a speed of 18 mph. The barrier provides a high level of security within a refined design. Our recommended manual and operable units for large openings is the CR-25E or CR-25M.

The RSS3000 is the cutting edge all electric beam barrier with an ASTM M30 crash certification. This unit has all of the same attributes as the RSS2000 Electric Wedge but is an above grade rising beam. Its smooth operation reduces wear on its operational components which reduces future service costs. It is an extremely reliable unit for cold weather applications and now is supplied to raise to a full 90 degree angle, allowing large trucks to adequately drive into the location. It is the most reliable K4 rated beam on the market today.

TAGBDL Barrier Data Link

The TADBDL system is an integrated network installed and supplied by TAG that combines controls of multiple devices into one “Smart” access control system. If you have vehicle barriers, slide gates, card readers, stop lights, and gate arms, the most effective way to properly set up the controls is to integrate all of these items into one panel to reduce the amount of buttons or actions security personnel will have to take when allowing or disallowing access to the facility. This system tremendsously reduces the potential for user error.
