Truckstopper 3 (K4 Type) Fixed Bollard
Product Notes

- (Similar to K4 and ASTM F2656 M30-P1)
Product Summary
For a permanent security solution that combines outstanding durability with aesthetic appeal, choose the Truckstopper 3 K4 crash rated bollard. This zero-penetration bollard is lightweight and easy to install but provides an impressive amount of stopping power for your high-security concerns.
The Truckstopper 3 bollard system offers commercial, municipal, government, and military sites across the country a “moderate plus” level of protection. The result is zero penetration (upon impact) from medium-duty truck-based attacks or unintentional vehicular collisions at busy commercial sites (also tested at a 45-degree vehicle impact angle). It has been manufactured using an innovative spring steel design that can stop a 16,534 lb. (7.5 metric ton) truck traveling at 30 mph, according to crash test data. The bollard system includes durable rebar and an eye-catching 316L stainless steel shroud/cover.
The Truckstopper 3 bollard system can only be installed to be fixed/static — an ideal bollard solution for airports, banks, and other permanent high-security areas. If removable bollards are required within an array, Truckstopper 6-30 removable bollards can be substituted/mixed with Truckstopper 3. The shrouds are the same, and there would be no visible difference. The Truckstopper 3 can be installed either as a single bollard for smaller areas or a large array of building-surrounding solutions, depending on your facility’s security needs. It features a shallow 20-1/4″ depth.

What crash rating does the TruckStopper 3 fixed bollard deliver, and at what speed?
The Tymetal TruckStopper 3 is a certified fixed crash bollard tested to vehicle impact standards consistent with its model designation, providing reliable perimeter protection against vehicle threats. For specific certification speed, mass, and penetration distance data, refer to TYMETAL’s product specification sheet or contact TYMETAL directly for current certification documentation.
What depth and foundation design are needed for installation?
The TruckStopper 3 requires an embedded steel sleeve set in a reinforced concrete foundation with embedment depth and concrete dimensions specified by TYMETAL to achieve the bollard’s certified crash performance. The foundation design is engineered to anchor the bollard against the full impact force of the rated vehicle strike without pullout or tipping.
What materials and finishes protect against rust and impact damage?
The TruckStopper 3 features decorative sleeves that are standard in stainless steel, with powder coat available for color customization. Stainless steel provides excellent corrosion and impact resistance for outdoor installations without requiring additional protective coatings.
Are tests or certifications available demonstrating performance?
Yes. TYMETAL crash bollards are independently crash-tested to ASTM F2656 or equivalent government standards, and certification documentation is available to support project specifications, security assessments, and facility accreditation requirements. Contact TYMETAL for the specific test report and certification letter applicable to the TruckStopper 3 configuration.
