Whether it’s a city festival in springtime, a summer festival or a Christmas market in winter, the certified mobile vehicle blockers from Hörmann are an efficient solution allowing access to different outdoor events as well as at-risk areas and buildings, regardless of when and where.
The mobile vehicle blockers prevent vehicle passage, making them a crucial part of your security concept. As they do not require any earthworks or anchoring, the module systems are easy to install and remove and can be quickly relocated for further use – a key advantage in cities and municipalities hosting events.

How the OktaBlock works
Mobile vehicle barrier OktaBlock secures access to event grounds. One of its most important features is its octagonal base with a jagged edge. In the event of a vehicle impact, the bollard tilts forward and the base plate with its prongs wedges between the vehicle and the road. Due to the braking effect achieved in this way, the vehicle comes to a standstill and is unfit to drive in just a few metres.
Due to its axisymmetric geometry, the Hörmann OktaBlock has no predefined impact side and can thus prevent a vehicle collision from any direction.
Certified personal protection
The effect of the OktaBlock has been proven in multiple crash tests
The mobile vehicle barrier meets the crash test standards of the international safety standards BSI PAS68:2013 and IWA-14-1:2013. In standard testing, an unmanned lorry with a test weight of 7.5 tonnes and a speed of 50 km/h drives into a single OktaBlock module. The resulting impact energy is around 750,000 joules.
The OktaBlock TR is designed and certified in accordance with the even stricter requirements of the technical guideline of the German police for mobile vehicle blockers. In the test carried out on a wet road, the barrier must absorb an impact from two different angles of 90 and 45 degrees, with a maximum impact energy of up to 986,000 joules in protection category SK1B.
In contrast to other mobile solutions, all certificates are also valid when individual modules are used, meaning it is not necessary to join multiple modules. This ensures maximum flexibility and provides unobstructed escape routes without impairing visibility.
Tailored to your event
Maximum flexibility
OktaBlock blockers can be arranged individually, in rows or offset. This allows individual protection concepts to be implemented according to requirements. In addition, the blockers provide unobstructed escape routes at all times without impairing visibility. The Hörmann OktaBlock is also suitable for narrow streets and pavements or bike paths, which can often be certifiably secured effectively with just one module. Blockers with unlimited width are possible, as well as a sluice arrangement or defined passage points for emergency and rescue vehicles.
Individual security concepts
Hörmann recommends that an expert develop a perimeter protection concept to ensure that the installation complies with requirements and standards. The Hörmann OktaBlock blends inconspicuously into the overall concept of events and is not perceived to be threatening. The surface of the vehicle blockers can also be used for advertising or information purposes.
Simple logistics
By means of a transport aid that can be screwed into the bollard cover, the completely assembled individual blocker can be easily put into position with a crane or forklift truck, and installed and removed without special technical knowledge. Without a crane or forklift, the vehicle blocker cannot be moved or manipulated and therefore does not have to be guarded before and during the event. The individual elements can be stored outdoors and transported on standard lorries in a space-saving manner.
