Caiman barbed wire classification

Under the brand name Caiman, a wide range of security barriers of various types and purposes are produced and sold. In order to make it easier to understand this variety, we briefly describe the design and purpose of all types of security barriers that can be bought under the Caiman trademark. To simplify the perception of the product, the correct technical name of which is "reinforced razor tape, compressed type", we will call the usual phrase "barbed wire". All security barriers Caiman differ in design, scope, features of operation and installation, efficiency and price. An analysis of all these factors is a topic for a large review, and not one that can be found in the future on our website, but for now it is possible to familiarize yourself with a brief description of all types of Caiman barriers. The brief description indicates the exact name of the product, common names, the main technical parameters of the product, design options and the scope of the specific type of Caiman barbed wire barriers.

Caiman barbed wire

"Egoza-Caiman" razor wire
Egoza-Caiman barbed wire - reinforced barbed tape in one thread, having a core of carbon spring wire with a diameter of 2.8 mm and cutting spikes from barbed tape 0.5 mm thick. Zinc coating of the core - at least 100 g/m2, razor tape - in the range of 140-290 g/m2, which is quite enough to ensure a long service life of barbed wire and products from it. The Egoza-Caiman barbed wire can be used in one thread to enclose the territory in one or more rows, and is also the material for the manufacture of all other types of Caiman security barriers.

Caiman spiral barrier

"Egoza-Caiman" concertina security barrier
The Caiman spiral barrier, or the Caiman concertina barrier, is the best known type of razor wire security barriers. Its prototype is the Bruno spiral of ordinary barbed wire, invented at the beginning of the 20th century during the First World War. Caiman concertina barrier is made from Caiman barbed wire and has a spiral diameter of 400 to 1500 mm, from 5 to 11 clips are used to fasten adjacent turns of the spiral. Caiman spiral barrier is well suited to protect the territory of any objects, allows you to create fences of any design and configuration.

Caiman flat barrier

"Egoza-Caiman" flat security barrier
Caiman flat barrier, or Caiman flat security barrier - a compact version of the Caiman barbed wire obstacle, in which the turns of the Caiman barbed wire are in the same plane and are offset from each other. This design of the fence allows you to reliably protect the protected object without protruding beyond it. The width of the strip of turns of barbed wire is 600 or 750 mm, the length of one section of the fence is 6 or 7.5 m. The Caiman flat barrier is well suited for fencing objects located in the city area, for creating fences or visors on fences, mounted on sliding gates and other similar facilities.

Caiman quick-release barrier

"Egoza-Caiman" rapid deployment barrier
Caiman quick-release barrier, or the Caiman rapid deployment barrier, is a special type of fast-mounted Caiman barbed wire obstacle. The Caiman rapid deployment barrier is a Caiman spiral barrier, mounted on two metal frames, providing the convenience of its storage, transportation and quick installation on the ground. The design of the Caiman rapid deployment barrier uses a Caiman spiral security barrier with a diameter of 950 or 1250 mm at the customer’s choice, preferably with a maximum number of staples per spiral loop. The Caiman quick-release barrier is designed to quickly fence territory, block passage or passage by police, special services, military or security services.

Caiman razor mesh

"Piranha" razor mesh
Caiman razor mesh, or Piranha barbed mesh - a special type of razor wire obstacle for fences. The Piranha razor mesh has the form of a flat network with a width (height) of 2 to 2.7 meters with diamond-shaped cells. The Piranha barbed mesh represents a failure set of parallel Caiman barbed wire strands interconnected by clips. The Piranha razor mesh design allows you to connect individual rolls of barbed mesh into an endless canvas, forming fences of any length without joints. The height of the razor mesh of 2.7 meters allows you to use it as a means of undermining, deepening part of the razor mesh into the ground. The Piranha barbed mesh can be used both for the construction of new fences, and to strengthen the design of old fences - it is easily attached to any type of fence, for example, from welded panels or chain-link netting.

Caiman pyramidal barrier

"Caiman" pyramidal security barrier
Caiman pyramidal barrier is a special case of the use of the Caiman spiral barrier. But the specificity of the design and application features make it possible to distinguish the Caiman pyramidal barriers into a separate type of razor wire barriers. The Caiman pyramidal barrier is a few spirals made of Caiman barbed wire, connected not only in series, but also in parallel in the form of a pyramid in cross section. The composition of the pyramid may include 3, 6 or 10 spirals of the same or different diameter, more than 10 spirals are impractical to use. This allows you to create razor wire barriers of almost any required height and length without any fences and other structures, but also to install them on any uneven terrain both in the longitudinal and transverse directions. Such barriers can be installed on a permanent or temporary basis, in addition, there is the option of quick installation of a pyramidal mobile fence with road transport.
