Why HVM Ratings are not enough for Luxury Retail

Ram-raids on stores are not terrorism. They are smaller cars, reversed into shopfronts, striking again and again at low speed, until a person can climb through. The established Hostile Vehicle Mitigation (HVM) crash standards were never designed to measure that.

Luxury retailers everywhere are facing a surge in vehicle-enabled theft.

The security industry’s instinct is to reach for (HVM) standards: the bollards, barriers and crash rated products developed to stop vehicle-borne terrorism. But that standard answers a different question.

HVM was built to stop a heavy vehicle, driven forwards at speed, in a single decisive impact, and it judges success by how far the vehicle penetrates or how far debris travels.

Using HVM to set standards for retail security does not tackle the real threat and delivers different results for what failure looks like.

 

A high-speed vehicle-impact rating does not automatically answer the luxury retail question.

Retailers do not only need to know whether a vehicle is stopped. They need to know whether a realistic repeated attack can create a human accessible size opening.

Stackdoor has documented real-life retail incidents to construct an attack profile, and from that built a methodology to physically test the threat that luxury retail actually faces.

Whereas other anti-ram systems are designed to combat counter terror scenarios, the Stackdoor Anti-Ram is specifically designed for when a vehicle is used as a means of forced entry.

Built on the Stackdoor RC3 burglary-resistant structure and overlaid with dedicated anti-ram reinforcement the Stackdoor Anti-Ram defends the opening itself.

And because it is a Stackdoor system, it still stacks away into a minimal space above the entrance when open, preserving the clean, visible shopfront a luxury brand depends on.

This specialist Stackdoor product has been engineered to give physical, anti-ram protection for luxury retail environments, while maintaining an elegant, minimalist appearance when deployed.
