If your looking for an effective driveway security solution along with flexible access control at the point of installation, telescopic bollards would be the perfect choice.

You will generally see a variety of telescopic bollards installed on driveways, vehicle dealerships, forecourts, private car parks and shop fronts etc, as this type of retractable bollard has been purpose built to provide the highest level of security to protect vehicles and property.

Telescopic bollards are manually lifted into position and locked into place, and when you need to open up the area, they can be quickly lowered by unlocking and sliding the bollard down into the steel outer casing.

The bollards steel outer casing needs to be installed beneath the ground within a concrete foundation and should be installed by someone who has the relevant knowledge and experience to ensure they have installed it correctly to the manufacturers specification.

All of the high-security retractable bollards within our range have been inserted with the 'Award Winning' 10-pin push button top lock which is designed to withstand vandalism or any attempt to pick or drill out the lock.

Don't be tempted to cut corners by going for a cheaper pad-lockable telescopic bollard, because if you are looking to protect your vehicles and property, this type of post will only be as secure as the padlock you use, and most padlocks can easily be cut or knocked off with a hammer or saw, so bear this in mind.

Forecourts and car dealerships have used steel telescopic security bollards for many years as they have proven to be the most effective long term access control solution to protect their valuable fleet of vehicles.

Heavy Duty (Anti Ram Raid) telescopic security bollards are designed and built to protect your driveway, perimeter or business premises from an attempt to penetrate beyond the bollard with a vehicle or mechanics.

Engineered with a heavy gauge steel wall or an internal steel reinforcing, heavy-duty telescopic bollards will provide the highest level of protection for any anti-ram raid application. 

To secure and lock the bollards into position when raised, all of the anti-ram raid telescopic bollards within our range have been manufactured with the ‘award winning’ 10 pin anti drill integral push button locking mechanism as standard. 

Reinforced heavy duty retractable bollards are obviously much heavier to use than a standard domestic bollard, so if the physical lifting weight is a concern then we would recommend you consider lift assisted telescopic bollards which are designed to reduce the operational lifting weight of the bollard by up to 70%.

While being much easier to raise and lower, this type of bollards strength and performance is not compromised, as they are built to the same high level specification as the heavy duty telescopic bollards.

Lift assist bollards are purely designed to aid the user and reduce the risk of injury for the operative.

Automatic rising bollards will provide you with a high level of security and protection whilst offering you the luxury and convenience of being able to control the bollard with a remote control from within your vehicle or property.

Modern day automatic bollards are manufactured as a self contained pre-wired unit that need only be installed into the ground and wired back through a ducting to the control panel.

The control panel will operate up to 4 bollards on the same system and is responsible for accepting commands and controlling the opening and closing phases of the bollards cycles when in use.

Non electrical semi automatic rising bollards are designed and manufactured to provide rapid access control without the need for any physical lifting or lowering of the bollard.

Although they are not intended or built for use as a high security bollard, a semi automatic bollard would be ideal for access control applications where speed and ease of use for the operative overrides the need for high security.

No electrical power supply is required, as semi automatic bollards are designed with a high pressure internal gas strut that will drive the bollard out of the ground once the valve has been released. 

Removable bollards are the perfect alternative for when you need effective access control and security but are restricted as to how deep you can excavate beneath the ground.

When underground services or poor ground conditions dictate that deep installation is not an option, a removable bollard should be considered as this will allow you to have the access control you need without any compromise on the strength and performance of the bollard.

They are designed to be easily and quickly removed from the socket and stored away from the site and can be stored in a socket installed adjacent to the parent bollard.

While not as resilient as a telescopic bollard, a fold down post or bollard will provide you with many years of stress free parking at your home or business and can be quickly installed within a car park without the need for any deep ground excavation. 

Designed and built to secure a private parking space from unauthorised users, folding parking posts are not designed to provide impact resistance, as they can be easily damaged when driven into by passing traffic or if driven over by the vehicles wheels when parking.

Be sure to allow for the ground clearance specified the post you choose.The ground clearance needed will depend on the vehicles you intend to allow access over the bollard so you will need to bear this in mind when choosing the correct type of parking post for your project.

Fixed steel bollards act as a permanent physical steel barrier to protect pedestrians and perimeters.

They are designed to remain permanently in position but can also be supplied as a removable bollard if you would need any temporary access at the point of installation.

Fixed bollards are normally embedded into the ground to a depth of up to 400 mm although they can also be supplied with a bolt down fixing plate should your location not allow any form of ground excavation.

Static bollards are manufactured in a wide variety of designs and specifications for locations that demand a strong aesthetic appearance along with a practical and robust performance.

Fixed hoop barriers are generally used on perimeter security applications that require a cost effective solution to secure the boundary.

With a wide overall ground span, a single hoop barrier can be used in place of 2 fixed or telescopic bollards, thus saving money throughout the project.

Where access control is required at points on the perimeter, a telescopic bollard or matching removable hoop barrier could be sited where the access is required.
