The B-Protect is a high-security bi-folding gate designed for vehicle entrances where controlled access must be combined with increased resistance against forced entry. It is intended for locations where the vehicle entrance forms a critical part of the physical security perimeter.
Depending on the selected configuration, the B-Protect is available with certified forced-entry resistance classifications. Additional ballistic protection can also be specified where required by the site's security assessment.
The bi-folding design combines this enhanced physical protection with controlled gate operation, allowing the entrance to remain functional for authorized vehicle movements while maintaining the required security level.
Ideal Applications
The B-Protect is particularly suitable for locations where the vehicle entrance requires a higher level of physical protection against unauthorized access or forced-entry attempts.
Typical applications include:
- Government facilities
- Defense and military sites
- Correctional facilities
- Energy and utility facilities
- Critical infrastructure
- Other high-security compounds
The required B-Protect configuration should be selected according to the site's threat assessment, required resistance level and operational requirements.
Forced-Entry Resistance
B-Protect configurations are available with resistance classifications according to EN 1627. Depending on the configuration, RC-classified protection can provide increased resistance against defined forced-entry attempts.
The classification applies to the tested or certified configuration and should therefore be considered when selecting dimensions, construction and security options for a specific project.
Ballistic Protection
Where ballistic resistance is required, B-Protect can also be supplied in configurations with ballistic protection.
Forced-entry resistance and ballistic protection address different threats. The required combination should therefore be determined according to the security requirements of the location.
Security Integration
The B-Protect can operate as part of a broader high-security vehicle entrance. Depending on the site configuration, it can be integrated with:
- Access control systems
- License plate recognition (LPR)
- Security management platforms
- Safety sensors and vehicle detection systems
- Video surveillance systems
- Vehicle inspection systems
This allows vehicle identification, authorization, physical access and monitoring to be coordinated within the overall entrance security process.

B-Secure Bi-Folding Security Gate
Where heavy transport and intensive vehicle traffic are the primary requirements, the B-Secure provides a robust solution for demanding daily operation.
Under Vehicle Inspection Systems
UVIS technology can be integrated into the entrance where vehicles also need to be inspected before access is authorized.
Vehicle-Impact Protection
Where protection against hostile vehicle impact is required, the B-Protect can be combined with appropriately tested bollards, road blockers or other vehicle-security barriers. The B-Protect itself is not a crash-rated vehicle barrier.
