The test was conducted to prove the arresting capability of a Frontier Pitts Terra Mount Blocker when impacted with a 7500kg test vehicle at a speed of 80km/hour (50mph). In accordance with BSi PAS 68:2007, which surpasses the requirements of the Department of State test standard SD-STD-2.01 Revision A, Certification Class K12, a new style 18 ton lorry was used to act as the test vehicle. The DoS standard has now been superseded by the ASTM standard F2656.

On impact the Terra Mount Blocker brought the vehicle to a complete halt with zero penetration onto site or past the impacted face of the unit. The Terra Mount Blocker did not move on impact and remained fully functional with the operating mechanism continuing to raise and lower, without the need for repair.
