Booth #259 - Geobrugg Security Engineering presents the FENCEBOX rapid deployment fencing system

Geobrugg and its distribtuors (Universal Safety Response for the US and Palisade Fence Systems for Canada) will be exhibiting the FENCEBOX rapid deployment fencing system.  FENCEBOX is a revolutionary solution for temporary fencing and crowd control situations.  The system consists of up to 165 linear feet of fencing that is stored in a lockable steel box.  Unlike any other fencing system in the world, the fencing is deployed using a hand crank system in the box.  This allows two people to fully install 165 feet of fencing in about 10 minutes.  The same crank system allows for tear down of the fence to go just as quickly. 

 

FENCEBOX does not use any ordinary chainlink mesh.  It uses Geobrugg's patented ROMBO Mesh.  

ROMBO is a steel wire mesh that is fabricated with high tensile strength steel.  This results in a strength that is approximately 4 times greater than conventional meshes, and a higher cutting resistance.  This high strength also means greater durability.  The ROMBO Mesh can stand up to significant abuse and physical impact without any permanent deformation or need for mesh replacment. 

 

The FENCEBOX system is available in standard heights ranging from 3' to 6.5', with custom sizes also available.  Multiple FENCEBOXES can be linked together to create an uninterrupted fence of any length; and a variety of post, end piece, and gate options allows for use in mobile, temporary, semi-permanent, and permanent applications including attachment to existing fences or buildings.  This versatility makes FENCEBOX an ideal solution for use by police/security forces or event/facility staff in sports stadiums, arenas, major events, construction sites, or any situation where temporary security or crowd control is needed.  The speed of deployment, enhanced security, flexibility of use, and durability make FENCEBOX a cost-effective alternative wherever temporary fencing is used.

Booth #1147 - D & D Technologies introduces the T-Latch

D&D Technologies has developed nearly 100 innovative gate hardware products since the late ‘80s. Products are designed and manufactured from super-strong engineering polymers in the company’s own facilities, ensuring the highest quality control.

The company’s latest innovation, the T-Latch®, is now in stock and available for shipment.

D&D Senior VP Sales & Marketing Jim Paterson says, “The T-Latch is a versatile, economical floating style gravity latch that outperforms similar latches in numerous ways.

“The T-Latch’s unique toggle-action is remarkably simple and effective,” Paterson adds.

“The floating-style latch bolt toggles vertically to automatically compensate for gate sag and ground movement. The latch is both vertically and horizontally adjustable and has one of our largest horizontal gap variances at 3/8” to 1.3/4”. From our product comparisons, we feel it is one of the most adjustable entry-level gate latches in the world, and as an added bonus, it’s quick and easy to install. The T-Latch is designed to fit any square post metal, vinyl and wood gates.

“Most D&D latches have built-in key locks,” Paterson says, “but as this product was designed as a lower-cost alternative, the T-Latch is locked with the use of a padlock.

“There are innovative features in this new design that makes the T-Latch far superior to ordinary gravity latches,” Paterson says. “Among the advantages are the ability to automatically compensate for gate sag, vertical and horizontal adjustability and a built-in padlock storage feature. Coupled with the product’s stainless steel latch bolt, this latch is built to last.”

Like all D&D manufactured products, the T-Latch is backed with D&D Technologies’ limited Lifetime Warranty.
