At Harrow, each vehicle undergoes sophisticated and advanced manufacturing procedures. The objective of any armoring process is to ensure the safety of the passenger/cargo against ballistic or blast threats from any point outside the vehicle. We at Harrow follows two general types of Armoring Process.
Cube On: In this type of design, an entirely new cabin is designed fixed on the OEM chasis. The vehicle will not have similarities of the OEM vehicle. The benefit of such an armoring process is that we have the freedom and flexibility to add any accessories or design changes as per the customer requirement. We can include turret platforms, gun ports, strobe lights and so on.
Cube In: In this type of armoring, ballistic steel is installed inside the OEM vehicle body. This is the armoring choice for civilian armored vehicles where the vehicle retains the visuals of the OEM vehicle, but provides protection against ballistic threats. At Harrow we are equipped with state of the art technology to cut, bend and modify the ballistic steel to fit inside the shell of the vehicle.
An entirely new shell of armor is designed over the OEM chassis. Each vehicle can be accessorized for the customers' requirements. The vehicles are equipped with reinforced door hinges to compensate for the added weight of armor. Upgraded suspension and brake systems are also included to compensate for the weight of ballistic armor added.
In a "Cube In" type of armoring process, the armor is integrated within the shell of the OEM vehicle. The vehicle is discreetly armored with specific attention given to the priorities of the customer as well as the purpose of the vehicle. At the initial stage of armoring, light-weight composite or armor plates are added to the floor, roof and side walls. Passenger cells of armored vehicles are always built as a self-supporting structure. The manufacturing process may vary with the utility of vehicle , however, the added weight of the vehicle will be handled by the upgraded and reinforced suspension braking systems.
