Countermeasures Security Solutions Inc.
Countermeasures Security Solutions Inc. is an industry innovator and focuses primarily on physical security solutions. Recently we developed a rapid deploy type barrier called the Cobra Gate TM which can establish a security perimeter in minutes. The Cobra was designed to be versatile and easy to use in any environment and without special tools or equipment.
The Cobra Gate was designed and is manufactured by our staff at our headquarters in Thunder Bay Ontario. The Cobra Gate was designed with ergonomics and tight spaces in mind.
Cobra Gate continues to evolve and offer barrier solutions where conventional fence and gates will not work. The Cobra Gate requires no space to swing or slide. As a security barrier solution, the Cobra Gate can be deployed by only one person to secure access points in tactical situations like strike management or crowd control events.
The Cobra Gate is constructed from a light weight aluminum chassis, and contains up to fifteen meters of high strength ROMBO mesh. This type of mesh is unlike ordinary chain link fabric as it is high tensile and has:
1. Higher resistance to breaking under both static and dynamic loads
2. Higher cutting resistance. A minimum of 14″ bolt cutters are required to cut through Rombo Mesh
3. Greater resistance to permanent deformation unlike chain link mesh which is apt to become deformed over time, particularly after sustaining high loads or impact. Therefore Rombo mesh will look and last much longer while able to sustain a great deal of abuse.
