The HITOMARUKUN is a lightweight mobile crash barrier designed specifically for low-speed urban roads and construction zones. Weighing just 13.4kg, it can be easily carried by one person. Its foldable structure allows it to be stored in a vehicle trunk when not in use, ready to go wherever needed. Operating on a purely mechanical principle, it requires no electricity or hydraulics - simply unfold and use.
In the event of an accidental vehicle impact, the barrier lifts the front wheels and uses ground friction braking to bring the vehicle to a stop within a short distance, protecting construction workers and equipment on site. The aluminum body is non-combustible, does not support combustion, and is recyclable. The electrostatic powder coating ensures no fading or rusting even after long-term outdoor use. Side handles allow attachment of a cold-light arrow guide sign, providing both warning and traffic diversion functions.
Working Principle
When a vehicle strikes the barrier, the structure lifts the front wheels, causing them to lose contact with the ground. The impact force is transferred to the ground via the lever principle, with the ground absorbing the primary force. Simultaneously, the rubber plates at the base generate friction against the road surface, forcing the vehicle to decelerate and stop within a short distance.
The entire process is purely mechanical - no electronics, hydraulics, or external power required - ensuring reliable operation in all weather conditions.
Precautions
Pre-deployment checks: rubber plate facing down and fully contacting the ground, barrier fully unfolded, facing oncoming traffic, placed on flat solid ground.
After impact: Check for personnel safety first, then inspect the barrier for deformation. Minor deformation can continue to be used; severe deformation must be replaced immediately. Do not reuse.
Prohibited Actions: Use on sections exceeding 30 km/h; use in partially unfolded or folded state; use with rubber plate facing upward or placed sideways; continue using after severe deformation; unauthorized modification or repair.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is this product?
A lightweight mobile crash barrier used for perimeter isolation around construction zones to prevent vehicle intrusion, protecting on-site personnel, equipment, and property.
What are the core highlights of the product?
Ultra-lightweight at 13.4kg, foldable design, purely mechanical interception - no power or hydraulics required. One person can deploy it in two minutes without electricity.
Where is the product mainly used?
Low-speed urban sections (≤30 km/h), municipal road construction, residential work zones, temporary traffic control, and similar scenarios.
What scenarios is the product not suitable for?
It is not suitable for highways, expressways, or routes with heavy trucks or large passenger buses. It is not suitable for sections exceeding 30 km/h, nor for soft soil, gravel, or severely slippery road surfaces.
How does HITOMARUKUN stop vehicles?
Through purely mechanical principles. Upon impact, the barrier lifts the front wheels, transfers the force to the ground via the lever principle, and uses rubber plate friction against the road surface to stop the vehicle within a short distance. No electronics, hydraulics, or external power are involved.
Why is it called "non-lethal interception"?
Because the product is designed to stop vehicles without harming occupants. It brings the vehicle to a smooth stop by lifting the front wheels and using friction braking, avoiding severe collisions that could injure personnel.
What material is it made of?
The main body is made of aluminum profiles with specially formulated rubber plates at the base. Aluminum offers lightweight, high strength, corrosion resistance, non-combustibility, and recyclability. The rubber plates are wear-resistant, anti-aging, and replaceable.
How is the surface treated?
Electrostatic powder coating. The yellow/orange-yellow finish provides strong adhesion, no fading or rusting outdoors, and high visibility in construction environments.
