What Can an Armored Truck Withstand?

Our vehicles are created to withstand the worst an enemy can throw at you (or shoot at you). They are tested and tried against rapid fire and multiple grenades to ensure the best results every time. Small Arms Fire Armored trucks can withstand gunfire from a range of small arms, including: Handguns: Most armored trucks can resist bullets from common handguns. The bullet-resistant glass and ballistic steel panels are designed to prevent any damage from being done. Shotguns: The armor can also resist shotgun blasts, which typically involve lower-velocity projectiles. Rifles: Many armored trucks are equipped to withstand fire from higher-velocity rifles, such as assault rifles. Depending on the level of armor, they can even resist armor-piercing rounds fired from these rifles.   Explosive Devices Our trucks are equipped with undercarriage protection that helps provide security to the vehicle’s floor. Specifically, there is fuel tank protection that acts as a panel covering the tank, ensuring minor damage to the vehicle. This protection method is in favor of security from grenades. Many armored trucks can resist the blast and fragmentation from hand grenades. The armored body and reinforced glass help absorb and deflect the explosion. Tire Attacks: Armored trucks can endure damage from many different threats, one of which is being able to remain operable even after their tires have been punctured with runflat systems. This is because the devices within the tire reinforce the structure of the rims. Armored trucks are highly protected and capable of withstanding a wide range of threats, from small arms fire to explosions.

How Protected Are Armored Trucks?

Armored trucks are designed to provide the highest level of protection to their occupants and cargo. Armored trucks usually transport valuables such as cash, jewelry, or important documents. The level of security in an armored truck depends on a few key factors, such as the level of ballistic protection, the types of attacks, specific protection for an individual, and the protection of cargo.   Ballistic Protection Armored trucks are built with materials specifically designed to resist bullets and ballistic threats. The level of ballistic protection varies depending on the intended use of the truck and the environment in which it operates.   Protection Against Explosions In addition to surrounding protection with multi-layer ballistic windows, our trucks are equipped with more features to secure the finer part of a luxury vehicle. Such as undercarriage protection, which helps absorb the blast from landmines or grenades. This protection comes in the form of a fuel tank protector. In case of an attack, this extra protection allows the vehicle’s tank to go undamaged, ensuring you can continue your journey.   Occupant Protection The interior of armored trucks is fortified to protect their occupants as well as the cargo. A common feature of this is reinforced doors and cabins. Our trucks come equipped with armored door overlap systems. These are bulletproof overhangs around the window, creating a barrier to eliminate any gunfire from penetrating through the door or window.   Armored trucks offer extensive protection against rapid-fire, explosives, and offender threats. There are many different levels of security, and for all the threatening reasons, you need an armored vehicle. Considering all the armor we fortify the cars with, the likelihood of any unwanted people or ammunition getting inside is very slim.

What Is Level BR6 Armor?

BR6 level armor refers to a ballistic protection standard defined by the European EN 1063 standard for bullet-resistant glass. The "BR" in BR6 stands for "Ballistic Resistance," and the number corresponds to the level of protection it offers. BR6 Characteristics: Ballistic-Resistance BR6 armor is designed to stop high-velocity rifle rounds that are used by military rifles, assault rifles, and others. Weapon Threat Level It can stop full-metal jacket rifle bullets with a relatively high energy output. Usage BR6 protection is commonly used in armored vehicles, bank security glass, military vehicles, and, in some cases, city buildings.   BR6 is a common standard for armored vehicles, providing a balance between protection and weight. It is an ideal choice for armored vehicles that need ultimate bulletproof protection without the added weight of the BR7 armor.
