Pitagone’s range of mobile Hostile Vehicle Mitigation barriers, developed to provide scalable protection across a variety of public environments. Each system is engineered and manufactured in Belgium and tested in fully operational configurations, reflecting how barriers are used on site rather than in idealised conditions.
Our barriers allow clients to select an appropriate level of mitigation based on threat profile, layout, surface conditions and operational access, supporting protection that is both effective and proportionate.
The F-11 is designed for lower risk environments where flexibility, speed of deployment and minimal visual impact are priorities. It can be installed by a single person, requires no additional accessories and adapts to a wide range of surfaces, including uneven or sensitive ground.
F-11 is often used in locations where layouts change frequently or where a discreet form of mobile HVM is required.
The F-18 provides a higher level of protection while remaining fully mobile and straightforward to operate. It is well suited to medium risk public spaces and events, deployments where security needs to work alongside regular vehicle access.
Its design allows controlled opening for authorised vehicles, supporting operational flexibility without compromising mitigation.
The F-24 is Pitagone’s heavy duty mobile HVM system, developed for higher threat environments and strategic locations. It is designed to form part of a more robust protection strategy where increased stopping capability and resilience are required and is used in both temporary and semi-permanent deployment.
The F-24 is typically deployed as part of a planned installation and integrated into wider security and site management considerations.
Alongside physical barriers, Pitagone offers Protect- PA, a security planning software designed to support the assessment and design of Hostile Vehicle Mitigation in public spaces.
Using intuitive geographical mapping, Protect-PA allows users to plan the placement of movable equipment, measure potential vehicle speeds and visualise exposure to vehicle borne threats. With Pitagone products already integrated, and the ability to incorporate additional HVM measures, Protect-PA supports clearer planning, stronger justification and more confident decision making.
Selecting the right HVM solution depends on understanding risk, context and how a space is used. Pitagone UK supports clients in navigating these decisions, helping identify systems that are appropriate to the environment, practical to deploy and aligned with wider safety responsibilities.
