Crash Rated – Hydraulic Bollards

Since 1993, our company has specialised in manufacturing crash rated bollards designed to secure strategic access points against ram-vehicle threats, ideal for locations requiring enhanced security. These crash rated bollards control vehicle access into restricted areas while permitting pedestrian movement at entry and exit points, improving safety and movement control at high-profile locations. The automatic bollards can be quickly raised or lowered with a button upon authorised access, featuring quieter, safer, and more reliable operation. Constructed from high carbon or stainless steel, these bollards are customisable in height (600 – 1200 mm), diameter (150 – 300 mm), and thickness (3 – 6 mm).

Equipped with an electro-hydraulic or electro-pneumatic drive, they operate with rapid opening and closing times of 1-3 seconds for raising and 3-6 seconds for lowering. Additional features include a micro-processor-based control panel, safety features like photocell beam sensors or loop detectors, and various operational interfaces such as RFID, ANPR, biometrics, or card readers. Each bollard also includes an illuminated ring of LED lights for enhanced visibility. This below-ground, cylindrical steel arrangement not only effectively blocks unauthorised vehicle access but also absorbs impact force, transferring it to the foundation, thus ensuring durability and resistance to impacts and atmospheric elements.
