Tank Trap Pyramid Barriers (Dragon’s Teeth)

Defence-Grade Perimeter Security – Enhancing Defence with Proven Anti-Vehicle Fortification

Tank Trap Pyramid Barriers (TTPBs)—often referred to as Dragon’s Teeth—offer a classic yet highly effective anti-tank solution, updated for today’s strategic defence challenges. Designed to physically obstruct vehicular assaults by halting, redirecting, or disabling intruding vehicles, these robust barriers are ideal for securing forward operating bases, critical infrastructure, checkpoints, and sensitive perimeters.

Tank Trap Pyramid Barriers (Dragon’s Teeth)

Key Product Features

Pyramid Module Options
Available in both single-pyramid (approx. 760 kg) and three-pyramid interlocking units (approx. 2,500 kg).

Rugged Dragon’s-Teeth Design
Each pyramid stands approximately 850 mm high and features a sharp apex to physically impale vehicle undercarriages, effectively halting movement.

Simple, Secure Assembly
Units interlock via integrated connectors—ensuring strong, continuous barrier formations without the need for elaborate installation.

Heavy-Duty Concrete Construction
Cast from 50 N/mm² high-strength concrete, with a smooth, durable finish built to endure demanding environments.

Integrated Handling Points
Each unit includes pin-anchor lifting points to facilitate swift and safe heavy-lift deployment and retrieval.

Strategic Defence Applications

Field Fortifications & Base Perimeters
Deploy quickly as primary anti-vehicle defences in remote or vulnerable positions.

Checkpoint Enforcement & Access Control
Create vehicle stop zones that direct and delay threats, enabling response teams to engage.

Protection of Critical Infrastructure
Rapidly safeguard sites like military airfields, power generation facilities, and storage depots from vehicular incursions.

Secure Crowd Management for Military Events
Perfect for temporary staging zones, VIP movements, and exercise control perimeters.

Defence Advantages

Immediate Tactical Deployment
Ready-to-use modules allow for near-instant perimeter security without complex site prep.

Simple Logistics, Minimal Infrastructure
Requires no foundation works—ideal for austere or rapidly shifting operational theatres.

High Reusability and Flexibility
Easily deconstructed, relocated, and redeployed as mission parameters evolve.

Low Logistical Footprint
Modular design and integrated lift points reduce handling complexity and deployment time.

Historical Precedence in Defence

While rooted in Second World War fortifications—famously used along the Siegfried Line—dragon’s teeth barriers remain relevant in modern defence scenarios for their proven effectiveness in physically denying armoured vehicle movements.
