Xentry 3TP – high security for critical sites

One of the solutions we will be presenting at Security Essen is the Xentry 3TP High Security. This Speedgate has been developed for sites where high levels of burglary resistance, controlled vehicle access and operational reliability are required.
The Xentry 3TP has been developed in accordance with the European resistance classes SR2 – RC2, RC3, RC4, RC5 – FB6 and is suitable for critical infrastructure, government facilities, defence sites, data centres and other high-security environments.
Depending on the required security level, the construction can include reinforced anchoring, hinge points, guidance systems and secured connections. This allows the Speedgate to be tailored to the specific risk profile of each site.

Xentry On Street – flexible security without a traditional foundation

The Xentry On Street will also be on display at our stand. This solution combines the quality, appearance and functionality of a permanently installed Speedgate with the flexibility of a temporary or semi-permanent installation.

The Xentry On Street does not require a traditional foundation. Cabling and other provisions are integrated above ground, and the fully assembled installation can be positioned using a forklift. This makes the solution particularly suitable for existing sites, renovation projects, temporary security requirements and environments where extensive groundwork is not possible or desirable.
The installation can also be relocated at a later stage, redeployed at another location or incorporated into a permanent security solution.

For sites with higher security requirements, the Xentry On Street is available with an additional pin construction. The Speedgate is designed according to the principles of resistance class RC3, with an increased level of resistance against burglary attempts as a key consideration.
This makes the Xentry On Street a flexible solution for sites where both security requirements and site conditions may change over time.

TESCON crash-tested bollards

In addition to our Speedgates, we will present several TESCON Security solutions designed to protect sites against unauthorised vehicle access.

One of the highlights is the TC-RB 300/1100, an electro-hydraulic retractable high-security bollard designed for sites where maximum protection against vehicle impact is required. The bollard has been tested with a 30-tonne truck travelling at 80 km/h. According to the test results, the system remains operational after impact.
The TC-RB 300 is intended for applications including government buildings, military sites, embassies, airports, energy facilities, industrial sites and other critical infrastructure.

At Security Essen, we will also show the video of the bollard crash test, giving visitors a close-up view of the forces this type of vehicle security solution must withstand in the event of an impact.

TESCON Anti-Terror Telescopic Bollard

The TESCON Anti-Terror Telescopic Bollard will also be part of our presentation. This electro-hydraulic retractable telescopic bollard has been developed for situations where a high level of vehicle security is required but the available installation depth is limited.

The telescopic design enables a blocking height of 1,000 mm with a foundation depth of just 950 mm. The bollard has been tested as a single unit in accordance with PAS 68 using a 7.5-tonne truck travelling at 48 km/h.
This makes the solution particularly suitable for urban areas, sites with underground cables and utilities, car parks, airports, military sites and critical infrastructure.

The first Speedgate with MKI score in the National Environmental Database

HTC parking & security is the first in the world to map the complete lifecycle of its Speedgates through Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs). The associated EPDs have been published on the international MRPI website, and the MKI scores are officially registered in the National Environmental Database. Three models have been certified: the Xentry 2, Xentry 3 and Xentry STS.

Xentry 3: innovation at the highest level

The Xentry 3 Speedgate combines high security with speed and ease of use. Ideal for commercial parking, prisons, high-security locations, courthouses, truck parks, healthcare facilities and ambulance entrances. We will provide a live demonstration at the trade fair.

Available in various resistance classes: from SR2/RC2 (opportunistic burglars) to RC5 (heavy power tools) and bullet-resistant FB4 (.357/.44 Magnum) to FB6 (5.56/7.62 mm rifle). This way, the Xentry 3 always offers the right balance between accessibility and maximum safety.

Refurbished Speedgate: high-quality security meets circularity

HTC will showcase a refurbished Speedgate (Xentry 2TP) at the Intertraffic trade fair. This demonstrates that high-quality security and circularity go hand in hand. Each motor is completely disassembled, cleaned and fitted with new parts where necessary.

HTC has established processes with suppliers for refurbishing motors, galvanized/coated components of construction and drive systems, and stainless steel parts. The result? A Speedgate that is ready for years of reliable use with full warranty.

Xentry Control: the control system that thinks along with your challenge

With thousands of successful projects behind us, we know exactly how to help you. The result? Xentry Control. The new generation control system that is not only smart and stable, but also truly understands what you encounter daily. That’s why we have chosen complete standardization. One control system for all applications. No more variations. No surprises during replacement or expansion. The advantages: high uptime, 24/7 online monitoring, long lifespan (8 to 10 years), fast assembly and low Total Cost of Ownership.

SmartLED Display: more than a traffic light

The SmartLED Display is the most innovative traffic light on the market! The difference between a standard entrance and a smart entry starts with the SmartLED Display. Intelligent communication transforms every entrance into a professional and welcoming reception moment. The display does more than just give instructions. Messages are displayed dynamically and receive more context, making them much more noticeable and better understood. Through seamless integration with our Speedgates, safe and efficient flow is guaranteed. The SmartLED Display functions as a dynamic traffic light and as a communication tool that strengthens your organization’s identity. This way, you turn every entrance into your personal business card.

• RC5: Planned attacks with heavy electric tools
• FB4: Bulletproof against firearms such as a .357 or .44 Magnum
• FB6: Bulletproof against firearms such as a 5.56 x 45 mm or 7.62 x 51 mm rifle

Interactive traffic light

New this year is the interactive traffic light an innovation that is not only functional but also enhances the user experience. It welcomes guests in a unique way and provides real-time information about driving, stopping and any operational deviations in the Speedgate.

The LED screen also displays clear instructions and warnings, such as maintenance alerts, fire detection, and temporary events. Thanks to icons and simple explanations, users know exactly what is expected of them. You can even add your company logo for a personalized touch.

A future full of innovation

Export Manager Marcel van Dijk is excited about Perimeter Protection 2025:

“At HTC, we continue to innovate to improve access management and security.

Residential gates: safe and elegant

HTC’s stand at the MASTERS EXPO is dedicated to the new line of residential gates. Our team look forward to welcoming you at the HTC stand in hall 11. They’ll be able to tell you all about the residential line, naturally completely free from obligation. This line of low, fast folding gates and exclusive speedgates has been especially developed for the private market. The appearance of these residential speedgates can be adapted in line with your own tastes and requirements. For example, you can opt for a gate with an elegant and modern design, tailored to your site or home’s architecture. A gate which will feel like coming home to you and one which will make a positive impression on your guests, but that will also keep out any unauthorised people.

The residential gates will offer a safe and user-friendly entrance to your site or home. The speedgates open and close quickly, which means there’s very little risk of someone following a car in. A speedgate from HTC will give you a top quality industrial product and the certainty of a professional organisation, as HTC has been the European market leader in the field of vehicle entrances for many years. The speedgates are also produced in-house at our production location in the Netherlands.

• Don’t think in product features, but think in processes (as experienced by the customer).

• You’re not there with an idea, or a development. It’s all about discovering, developing and organising.
