Building on from the success of Heald’s existing product range, most of which are powered via hydraulics, the company are delighted to announce the launch of an electro-mechanical (EM) product range.

One of the primary benefits of EM over the hydraulic system is the ability to deploy products faster owing to motors being installed within the product which removes the need for an additional unit to house controls and having to install hydraulic ducts for the products to operate.

An additional benefit of Heald’s EM range is a reduced carbon footprint due to requiring on average, over 60% less electricity to operate.

The EM range will extend to our existing products including the Raptor, the Evo Bollard and the EM Matador. The Matador specifically will revolutionise temporary and small event security due to its shallow foundation depth and its ability to run off a generator or temporary power supply.

Having revolutionised the perimeter security industry with the automatic Matador, Heald will be showcasing the EM Matador at the UK Security Expo 2017 which takes place in London on the 29-30 November.
