The Mobile Barriers MBT-1m is an integrated, modular, rigid wall trailer that has many capabilities: provide extreme protection for our troops and assets, assist in crowd control operations, provide on-base and rolling protection, block roads, secure airport entrance & perimeters, protect against hostile vehicle ram attack, set up mobile spot inspection points, assist with repairs and can be used on base for additional security. The original MBT-1® has proven itself domestically by repeatedly turning cars and trucks and protecting workers. Displayed at Fort Leonard Wood, the MBT-1® was hailed as a “long overdue force protection” by military personnel. A special MBT-1m version was designed specifically for security and defense applications. With around 1,000,000 lbs. (4450000 N) of sheer strength and up to 9 feet (2.7 meters) tall, the MBT-1m can stop a car, pickup or straight truck in a direct 90 degree impact of at least 45 mph (72 kmh). It’s capable of stopping or deflecting even more, particularly when angled to the approach. The MBT-1m will withstand small arms fire and can provide higher levels of blast protection.
