Frequently Asked Questions
VENDOR PARTNERS
Only the best products, every time.
and many more.
What kind of foundation is needed for bollards?
The foundation depth and design vary depending on the bollard type and crash rating. High-security bollards often require deep, reinforced concrete foundations, while standard traffic or decorative bollards may need much less.
Do bollards require regular maintenance?
Maintenance needs depend on the type of bollard. Fixed bollards typically require minimal upkeep, while retractable or automated bollards should be checked regularly for mechanical, hydraulic, or electronic issues to ensure reliable operation.
Are decorative bollards available without compromising security?
Absolutely. Many bollards can be fitted with decorative sleeves or covers made of stainless steel, cast iron, or other materials, allowing you to maintain aesthetic appeal without sacrificing protection.
Can bollards be removable or retractable?
Yes. Bollards are available in fixed, removable, or retractable (manual or automatic) styles. These are ideal for locations needing flexible access—like service drives, event spaces, or emergency vehicle routes.
What’s the difference between crash-rated and non-rated bollards?
Crash-rated bollards are tested and certified to stop vehicles traveling at specific speeds and weights, based on standards like ASTM F2656. Non-rated bollards offer visual deterrence and light impact protection but haven’t undergone formal crash testing.
What are crash-rated bollards, and why are they important?
Crash-rated bollards are designed and tested to withstand high-impact vehicle collisions, providing critical protection for high-security areas. They are certified to specific crash ratings, such as M30 or M50, and are essential for safeguarding critical infrastructure, sensitive facilities, and pedestrian zones.
What is the difference between removable and retractable bollards?
Removable bollards can be manually taken out of place, allowing for temporary access to restricted areas, while retractable bollards can be lowered or raised electronically or manually to control vehicle entry. Retractable bollards offer a more seamless solution for areas requiring frequent access and security.
How do lighted bollards improve security?
Lighted bollards are equipped with LED lighting, enhancing visibility at night or in low-light conditions. This added visibility helps prevent accidents and deter unauthorized access, making them ideal for public spaces, parking lots, and critical infrastructure areas.
Can crash-rated bollards be used in areas with frequent traffic or access needs?
Yes, crash-rated bollards, such as retractable or removable models, are perfect for areas requiring both high security and frequent access. These bollards can be deployed to prevent unauthorized vehicle entry while offering flexibility for controlled access as needed.
Are bollards customizable for different security needs?
Absolutely! Bollards come in a variety of styles, including fixed, removable, retractable, and lighted options. They can be tailored to meet specific security requirements, such as impact resistance, ease of access, or aesthetic preferences, making them versatile for various applications.
