FutureWEDGE® 3100
Product Information
The FutureWEDGE® 3100 is a crash-tested, all-electric vehicle barrier engineered for high-security environments requiring robust protection with minimal installation depth. Certified to ASTM M40 P1 (K8) standards, it effectively halts a 15,000 lb (6,800 kg) vehicle traveling at 40 mph (64 km/h) within 3.3 feet (1 meter) of penetration.
Designed with a shallow 12-inch (304 mm) foundation, the FutureWEDGE® 3100 minimizes excavation requirements, making it ideal for sites with underground utilities or space constraints. Its all-electric operation eliminates the need for hydraulic fluids, reducing maintenance and environmental impact.

Core Advantages
Certified High-Impact Protection in Minimal Space
The FutureWEDGE® 3100 is crash-tested to ASTM M40 P1 standards, capable of stopping a 15,000 lb vehicle at 40 mph with just 1 meter of penetration. Its shallow 12-inch foundation allows for installation in sites with underground obstructions or limited excavation depth, without sacrificing crash-rated performance.
All-Electric Design
Operating entirely on electric power, the 3100 eliminates hydraulic fluids, reducing both maintenance and environmental impact. Its PLC and VFD controls offer smooth operation and precise performance, with fewer failure points than traditional hydraulic systems
Seamless Integration
Pre-assembled and available in single or dual buttress configurations, the FutureWEDGE® 3100 is designed for rapid deployment. It integrates easily with access control systems, CCTV, intrusion detection, and gate automation, making it a versatile solution for a wide range of security environments.
