Why are NBI barrier systems the most proven, tested, and reliable vehicle-access-control barrier systems in the world? Absolutely NO substitute compares to the advantages of NBI barriers! NBI steel plate barriers are the perfect cultivation of engineering achievement, durability, and security.

NBI barrier systems are engineered with the best technical components and top-quality steel.
NBI barrier systems are Pre-assembled as per site specifications.
NBI barrier systems, as a standard feature, are the only systems hot-dip galvanized for lasting durability and protection.
NBI barrier systems allow NO limitations or restrict weight, and may be anchored to a foundation by excavation / casting or bolt down onto an existing concrete pad.
NBI engineered hydraulic power units are the most compact, requiring less than 3 cu. ft. enclosures. NO exposed mechanical or electrical parts.
NBI’s patented, self-contained buttress, surface-mount-steel plate barrier designs, greatly simplifies barrier installation, reducing both initial install costs and long-term maintenance requirements. Our surface-mount-steel plate designs eliminate all major site excavation.
NBI’s engineering excellence creates maximum-security, steel-plate barriers with the least barrier plate height, requiring no more than 33 inches height in full deployment position to successfully complete all Department of State K12/L3 (15,000 pounds @ 50 mph) crash certifications.
NBI offers three steel-plate model options.

1. Double Housing: Right and left EPA approved self-contained housing attached to barrier plate for hydraulic power unit enclosure. Tamper-resistant, eased manual operation with spring-loaded, counter-balanced manual bar deployment system. Optional traffic light and gate-arm located within barrier plate housing unit enclosure as pre-assembled singular unit. Housing units may be recessed into the fence-line or curbside without obstruction to roadway access.
2. Single Housing: Optional single sided, right or left EPA approved self-contained housing attached to barrier plate for hydraulic power unit enclosure. Tamper-resistant, eased manual operation with spring-loaded, counter-balanced manual bar deployment system. Optional traffic light and gate-arm located within barrier plate housing unit enclosure as pre-assembled singular unit. Housing units may be recessed into the fence-line or curbside without obstruction to roadway access.
3. Remote Housing: Flush, surface-mount barrier units require an EPA approved, remotely located hydraulic power unit enclosure. No obstructions to roadway access. Manual operation requires aid of hydraulics and/or electric motors.

The Body:
NBI’s surface-mount steel plate barrier systems use a monolithic, hot-dip galvanized steel plate, delivered in one piece (model III-d requires remote hpu) with only power source, conduit line hook up required. Add an additional 15 years to the life of your barrier. Whether a NBI pop-up steel plate, retractable bollard, and/or drop arm crash beam, NBI is the only barrier firm to provide its entire product line with hot-dip galvanization as a standard feature.

The Heart:
Utilizing the latest technology in the design of the NBI proprietary compact Hydraulic power Unit (HPU) and microprocessor based electronic control system, NBI barrier solutions provide impeccable performance, reliability, and maximum safety and security unrivaled in the industry. Relays and timers control NBI barrier systems, with optional easy to operate manual control. NBI barrier systems can be integrated into any type of access control devices, whether on or off site.

Prior to delivery, each barrier system is 100% factory tested and adjusted for normal installed operating conditions.

NBI perks don’t stop there; high quality steel, coupled with mastered installation / engineering techniques, ensures maximum energy absorption and success in the stoppage of attempted vehicle penetration of any type.
