HySecurity’s HydraWedge™ SM50 and StrongArm M30™ made a huge splash among the 30,000 ASIS security show attendees at the Anaheim Convention Center in September. "ASIS is a very important place for HySecurity to show its latest and greatest high security products," says Pete Hakio, HySecurity VP of sales. "There were few moments when our sales and engineering staff weren’t demonstrating HydraWedge and StrongArm M30 for government, military or industrial security professionals. ASIS is always an important HySecurity show, but this year we hit a home run exhibiting two unique and impressive crash vehicle barriers."
Gate installers can count on more HySecurity crash specifications and direct sales opportunities because HydraWedge brings HySecurity’s highest-reliability hydraulics to crash. "Other companies set a very low hydraulic reliability bar for crash products," says Richard Woltjer, HySecurity VP of marketing. "They are notoriously highmaintenance and unreliable. HySecurity leverages its highest-reliability hydraulic brand to its first anti-terrorist wedge."
HydraWedge meets installers’ business need for quick, easy and inexpensive installation. Its 12" deep foundation, lightweight frame and less than 350 lbs. of reinforcing steel allow two technicians to install HydraWedge in an unheard of 1.5 days. HydraSupply XL also benefits installers. Expect the same HySecurity "no callback," reputation from HydraWedge SM50, whose hydraulic design is based almost entirely on hundreds of thousands of ultra-reliable hydraulic gate operators. HydraWedge SM50 redefines crash product reliability.
Most crash manufacturers compete with the installers to whom they owe their success. They sell directly to end users and actually install the product themselves. Not HySecurity. StrongArm M30, StrongArm M50 and HydraWedge SM50 sell directly to installers or by installer request, through established HySecurity distributors. This policy insures that HySecurity crash products are installed by experienced and qualified technicians, resulting in high quality, successful and profitable installations.
Many specifiable benefits support installers to sell HySecurity crash products successfully. HydraWedge operates at superfast, one-second EFO speeds. The highly engineered wedge design combined with HySecurity’s renowned and advanced digital controls separates it from competitors. "We kept hearing comments like, ‘Incredible, and 'Finally, someone did it right,' while at ASIS," says Nick Valdez, HySecurity specification engineer. HydraWedge SM50’s 12-inch shallow mount, compact hydraulics, intelligent controls and the smallest, least expensive and easy to install foundation appealed to C-level security attendees who said they have been disappointed with existing crash wedge products that are typically overbuilt, deep mount, unreliable and require high maintenance.
"HydraWedge transports HySecurity into the mainstream vehicle barrier marketplace," says HySecurity VP of marketing, Richard Woltjer, "and it brings with it, HySecurity’s reputation for highest reliability and functionality. HydraSupply XL and HySecurity’s common platform Smart Touch™ Controller come with an unequalled five-year warranty, assuring end users of the highest reliability crash wedges in the industry."
"We don’t introduce new products before their time," says HySecurity owner and President Brian DeNault. "HydraWedge SM50 is the result of a year-long R&D effort and powerfully leverages our potent hydraulic and controls strengths. I could not be more impressed with the HydraWedge ASIS premiere last month. Our deep market research and engineering design is paying off in exceptional interest, leads and promising first installations."
