Pilomat Road Blocker Mobile at UEFA EURO 2024 in Stuttgart Road Blocker Mobile by Pilomat is a modular, secure, and versatile system designed to protect areas designated for public events from unauthorized vehicle access. It was successfully deployed during Euro 2024. The recent UEFA European Football Championship took place without any significant public order issues. The event’s flawless organization ensured maximum security for teams, delegations, UEFA staff, supporters and tourists, journalists, local residents, and law enforcement personnel across the many cities hosting the matches. Part of this success can be attributed to Pilomat, the Italian company that provided several temporary traffic deterrence devices used in urban centers and near stadiums to restrict vehicle access in controlled zones. These included the RBM Road Blocker Mobile models, which are innovative solutions that require no ground anchoring. The RBM mobile road blockers were deployed in Stuttgart during match days. In the morning the RBMs were lowered, allowing authorized vehicles (such as those belonging to residents, transport services, and businesses) to access the secured areas. The blockers were raised in the afternoon, closing the access and restricting entry to pedestrians, bicycles, and emergency vehicles only. The Pilomat Road Blockers Mobile proved to be the ideal solution for securing squares and areas dedicated to temporary events with significant foot traffic. RBM units are simply placed on the ground, allowing safe passage for pedestrians, individuals with mobility aids or wheelchairs, and vehicles when the blocker is lowered. When the mobile blocking element is raised, vehicle access is prevented. Despite being the smallest configuration of its kind currently on the market, the robust structure of the RBM and its anchoring system prevent it from being moved from its installation point, even when pushed by a vehicle. This makes it possible to secure access points without requiring constant supervision. With Road Blocker Mobile, Pilomat aimed to ensure maximum security with the smallest modular configuration. Among the many crash tests performed, the one for ISO 22343-1:2023 certification best highlights RBM’s exceptional resistance features. Our road blocker was tested in a configuration consisting of two side modules with mobile blocking elements and one central pedestrian module. It successfully stopped a 7.5-ton truck moving at 50 km/h. This is a benchmark result for the safety and resilience of public spaces. Versatile and Modular Access Control To address this challenge, Pilomat designed and installed three different types of bollards, each with specific characteristics tailored to the functional and security needs of the project: The new Road Blocker Mobile RBM by Pilomat is designed to temporarily protect streets, squares, and outdoor event areas. It features a raised, drive-over platform with ramps on both ends and a central mobile blocking element that can be manually raised or lowered as needed to allow or prevent vehicle access. The modular system allows multiple modules with mobile blocking elements to be connected, forming barriers of any desired length. It also supports the addition of blind pedestrian modules, offering a versatile and customizable concept that can also integrate with Oktablock. Easily installable on any road or pedestrian surface, each module can be assembled in just 20 minutes without the need for civil works. The mobile blocking element is manually operated using an integrated handle, and optional side ramps are available to facilitate vehicle access onto and off the platform.

Pilomat and the Security of Milan’s City Center with "Milomat" Bollards Pilomat is proud to present one of its most significant and innovative projects: the security of Milan's city center through the installation of uniquely designed bollards, branded "Milomat". This project, executed with great attention to both aesthetic and functional details, is a perfect example of how security technology can harmoniously integrate into a historically and architecturally valuable urban environment like Milan. The Need: Protection and Design for the Heart of Milan Milan's historic city center required an advanced security system to protect against potential vehicular threats without compromising the beauty of its squares and historic streets. The objective was to safeguard strategic pedestrian areas from potentially dangerous vehicles, with solutions that seamlessly blend into the urban context. Pilomat's Solution: Custom Bollards for Milan To address this challenge, Pilomat designed and installed three different types of bollards, each with specific characteristics tailored to the functional and security needs of the project: Automatic bollards model 275/K4-900A: These bollards, equipped with automatic raising and lowering mechanisms, were installed in areas requiring selective vehicle access control, such as for emergency and service vehicles. They provide total protection while in use without compromising mobility when needed. Fixed bollards model 275/K4FB-900F: These robust and permanent bollards were placed at critical access points to prevent any unauthorized passage. Their anti-intrusion structure offers maximum security with high impact resistance, ideal for ensuring continuous protection of sensitive pedestrian areas. Removable bollards model 275/K4SF-900RM: A key element of the project, these removable bollards were redesigned to feature a lower installation profile. Despite their ease of use and removal, they maintain the same high impact resistance as anti-terrorism products, ensuring the same reliability as fixed or automatic bollards. Certified Safety Testing Following the design modifications for the removable bollards, Pilomat subjected the 275/K4SF-900RM model to a crash tests in certified laboratory. These tests verified the bollards' ability to withstand high impacts, confirming their compliance with international anti-terrorism standards. Thanks to these tests, the reliability and safety of the product were ensured, even in critical situations. Unique Design Features: Stone Cladding and Milan Map In addition to their advanced technology and structural strength, all Milomat bollards were designed with particular attention to aesthetics. Each bollard is clad in natural stone, allowing them to seamlessly blend into Milan's historic architecture. This refined touch ensures that the security devices are not intrusive but become an integral part of the urban landscape. Another distinctive detail is the cylinder cap: each bollard features an engraved map of Milan, with a special orientation. Every map is positioned to point towards Milan’s Duomo, the city's iconic symbol, creating both a visual and symbolic connection between the security system and the heart of Milan. Security and Style: The Perfect Combination The Milomat project is an excellent example of how Pilomat combines security, functionality, and design. The automatic, fixed, and removable bollards provide comprehensive protection while maintaining an elegance that blends seamlessly into the surrounding environment. Pilomat’s solutions not only protect but also enhance the urban context, respecting its aesthetic and historical value. Fun Fact An intriguing detail of the Milomat project is that all the maps engraved on the bollards are oriented towards Milan’s Duomo, a symbolic choice that highlights the visual connection to one of the city's most iconic monuments. This small yet meaningful detail makes the project even more unique, demonstrating Pilomat's focus not only on security but also on enhancing the cultural context in which it operates. Final Remarks The Milomat project presented an ambitious challenge, which Pilomat successfully tackled through tailored solutions, advanced technologies, and a design carefully crafted in every detail. We are proud to have contributed to the security of Milan's city center, protecting both residents and tourists without compromising its elegance and charm.

Protecting shops and commercial activities: Pilomat security bollards as a defense against ram-raids In the urban landscape, shops and commercial activities are often exposed to various risks, including the danger of car-ramming attacks. These attacks consist of using vehicles as tools to break through the walls or windows of buildings, causing enormous damage and putting people's safety at risk. To counter this type of threat and protect shops and commercial activities, various safety devices have been developed, including traffic bollards. These devices, also known as Pilomat, are structures placed near entrances or along roads which have the task of preventing unauthorized access or slowing down the speed of vehicles. Tentato furto con auto-ariete bloccato da Pilomat from Pilomat Bollards on Vimeo. Highlighted in the video is the automatic hydraulic bollard 275/P-600A from the Safety Line How do traffic bollards work? Traffic bollards are designed to provide a physical barrier against unauthorized vehicles. They can be installed in different shapes and sizes, from fixed pillars to retractable elements controlled by remote control or automated systems. These devices are made of sturdy materials such as stainless steel or other high-strength materials. They are designed to resist collisions and impacts, making it difficult or impossible for a vehicle to penetrate through them. Benefits of traffic bollards for the safety of commercial establishments Preventing car-ram attacks: Traffic bollards prevent vehicles from reaching the speed necessary to be used as collision weapons. Protection of people and property: They reduce the risk of structural damage and injury to people inside or near commercial establishments. Access Control: They can be used to regulate vehicular access by allowing only authorized vehicles to enter certain areas. Versatility in installation: Traffic bollards can be installed in different environments, such as streets, car parks or building accesses. Considerations in the selection and installation of traffic bollards Security requirements: Ensure that bollards comply with safety standards and can withstand vehicle impacts.

Maintenance and Operation: Ensure proper maintenance of devices to ensure they are always operational and ready for use in the event of an emergency. Local regulations: Comply with local laws and regulations regarding the installation of road safety devices. Traffic bollards are an effective option for protecting shops and businesses from the threat of car rammers. Their strategic installation can help prevent attacks, ensure people's safety and preserve property. However, it is essential to carefully consider various factors, including technical aspects, regulations and specific needs of the area in which they are installed, to ensure effective protection and correct integration into the urban context. ...

DIN SPEC 91414 certified temporary solution, ideal for securing squares or areas intended for specific events Pilomat once again conquers the top the podium today: the new Road Blocker Mobile RBM presented at Sicurezza - designed by the company's R&D team and built in the Grassobbio production plant - has passed a structured series of tests that establish it as the absolute pinnacle of its category. Road Blocker Mobile is in fact not only certified IWA 14-1:2013 and DIN SPEC 91414-1-2021 but also has the highest handling level ever tested for products of this kind: MK2. Designed to protect, in a given period of time, streets, squares or external areas where demonstrations or events are to be held and where a massive number of people is therefore expected - from concerts to festivals, from open-air trade fairs to Christmas markets - RBM is a temporary solution as it only rests on the ground, without any type of fixing. Extremely versatile technology, capable of adapting to different situations and areas of different sizes, this new Pilomat solution offers a modular concept, allowing you to combine multiple fixed pedestrian modules and modules with a mobile element. In the raised position, the door of the mobile modules allows the protection of the location, while, if lowered (movement occurs manually, via an integrated handle), it leaves free passage for emergency vehicles. Precisely this versatility, combined with record-breaking security level, differentiates it from more traditional products normally chosen to protect places temporarily, such as concrete barriers. Equipped as standard with a front and rear ramp, the modules also have side ramps as an option and can be moved simply with a forklift or manual crane. Prepared for installation combined with Oktablock, a temporary bollard also designed by Pilomat, Road Blocker Mobile can not only be purchased by Municipalities, event organizers or other clients, but also rented by the latter, for an easier format and with lower economic impact. Easy fitting and removal - in just 20 minutes the product can be mounted on a finished surface - the new Pilomat mobile road blocker features a series of options, useful for embellishing the aesthetics of the product or further improving its comfort: from the Design kit, a elegant customizable aluminum cover available for the mobile door, the Lighting Strip kit for night lighting, up to the Comfort Kit, equipped with a decelerator for more comfortable closing of the platform, an ergonomic handle and a system capable of simplifying the installation of ramps. Finally, RBM can be painted in any RAL color and made even more resistant by a special marine anti-corrosion treatment, ideal if you are in areas with saline environmental conditions. As regards performance, the new RBM first passed the crash test, stopping a 7,500 kg truck moving at 50 km/h and is therefore now IWA 14-1:2013 certified. Not only that: our mobile road blocker is also certified DIN SPEC 91414-1-2021-04, a standard for which a displacement test is required, which saw the product move just 10 cm from the installation point, when the truck , without a run-up, it leaned on the mobile door and started to accelerate, both a manipulation test, which simulates a real attempt at tampering and which gave RBM a MK2 level. Pilomat is the first company to bring to market a DIN SPEC 91414 certified mobile road blocker with MK2 handling level. https://youtu.be/KbgOUwTrNUo?si=iBidCnU9OkFWs9iY ...
