Capra Y-Boom: high security without groundworks
Capra is a mobile high-security fence from CAPRA GmbH in Germany. Every element stands on a steel-reinforced concrete base of 8' 7" x 19-11/16" x 11-13/16", about 1,875 lb, with forklift pockets and a patented interlock: set the elements side by side and the bases lock into each other, so the line cannot be pushed apart or knocked over. No digging, no anchors, no concrete pour.
Mesh, posts and fixings
The panel is an 8/6/8 (5/16", 1/4", 5/16") double-wire mesh with 2" x 7-7/8" openings, 8' 2-13/16" x 6' 7-15/16". It is held between 2-3/8" x 1-9/16" x 1/8" posts that bolt into the ends of the base, with a 6' 8-5/16" x 1-9/16" x 3/16" cover strip over each edge and M8 carriage bolts, so the panel is firmly bolted in. Adjoining elements are joined at the top with a 1-9/16" x 5/16" x 6-5/16" post connector.
Y arm with barbed wire on both sides
The posts carry a Y arm with three rows of barbed wire on each side, six in all, so the top is protected from both sides of the line. NATO razor wire can be laid on the arms for the highest security.
Where it is used
Capra secures ports and airports, logistics yards, data centers, energy sites under construction, events and police cordons: anywhere a strong perimeter is needed fast, and needs to move again later. The manufacturer states that the system meets ICAO and ISPS requirements for airports and ports.
Set up and moved by forklift
Each element arrives pre-assembled. Place it with a forklift on level ground and set the next one against it so the interlock engages. To change the perimeter, lift the elements out and set them down again, on the same site or the next one. Level ground is the only requirement.
Finish
Hot-dip galvanized to DIN EN ISO 1461, or galvanized and powder-coated jet black RAL 9005. In the United States we stock the black version.
