Bollard Types 101: The Ultimate Guide

Bollard Types 101: The Ultimate Guide

Bollards are highly effective measures for both businesses and homes, whether employed to mitigate collision impact or deter vehicle theft.

Heavy-duty steel bollards serve as particularly robust deterrents, offering reliable protection in various scenarios, while their height ensures the appropriate level of defence in all circumstances.

Removable Bollards

Removable bollards offer a versatile solution for preventing unauthorised vehicle entry into private driveways, forecourts, car parks, town centers, supermarkets, and garages, while still allowing pedestrian access. These heavy-duty bollards are securely locked with a padlock and are housed in low-maintenance sockets embedded within concrete.

Their installation in embedded sockets ensures durability and stability, requiring minimal maintenance. Removable bollards present a more aesthetically pleasing alternative to cones and boast high visibility with two orange reflectors and a white band.

Aremco Barriers' removable bollards are particularly well-suited for securing parking areas. Featuring two handles on the larger version for ease of removal and installation, each bollard comes with a socket designed for ground installation and a padlock for security.

These bollards, crafted from square hollow section, are lightweight and easy to move, available in three sizes to suit various needs. Additionally, a dual-purpose flap is fitted to the socket to prevent the accumulation of debris when the post is removed and to secure it in place when installed.

Telescopic Security Bollard

Our Telescopic Security Bollards are versatile solutions for preventing unauthorised entry into private driveways, forecourts, car parks, town centers, supermarkets, and garages, while still allowing pedestrian access. Additionally, they can effectively deter potential thieves when used in front of roller shutter doors or in domestic applications.

These bollards lie flush to the ground when not in use, featuring an easily retractable lifting handle for seamless access in pedestrian and vehicle traffic areas. Raised vertically and locked in seconds with a padlock (not supplied), they ensure quick and secure access control.

Furthermore, the bollards slide directly into their host tube when not in use, eliminating trip hazards. Crafted from galvanised materials, they offer enhanced durability and a longer life expectancy.

With their folding function, these bollards facilitate easy monitoring of vehicle entry and exit in designated parking areas, while ensuring safe passage for vehicles.

It's essential to consider the ground clearance provided by these bollards to prevent damage to vehicles, and they are not intended to be driven over.

At Aremco Barriers, we offer various types of Padlock operated Folding Bollards. These bollards are suitable for driveway security, car parking spaces, or any location requiring a non-removable post for access control, making them ideal for domestic use.
