The Active Line
Five ways to open a crash-rated line.
Slide and swing gates, a rising wedge, a drop-arm beam, and a net barrier — matched to how the opening is used and how much energy the connection has to absorb.

Compare the range
Active barriers at a glance.
Slide gates are crash tested on BSP articles to ASTM F2656-23; swing gates are manufactured under license to a crash-tested design. Test reports and certifications travel with the submittal package.
Built at the Connection
Where active barriers earn their keep.
The connection, not the panel
A pin, not a hinge
A gate fails where the load leaves the panel and enters the ground. BSP carries the impact through a three-inch 4140 steel pin and stacked plates into a reinforced foundation.
Your infill, not ours
Match the fence
Chain link, ornamental picket, palisade or welded mesh on the same crash-rated frame — so the access point looks like the rest of the perimeter.
Retrofit where it counts
Replace in place
An existing non-rated gate can often be replaced in the same opening. The posts and foundations change; the drive surface and fence line either side usually do not.
