Bollards are designed with different impact ratings depending on whether they’re intended for security protection or traffic control.
For traffic management, such as in car parks, driveways, or pedestrian zones, standard steel bollards provide effective vehicle guidance and deterrence against low-speed impact. These are ideal for everyday access control and site safety without needing formal crash testing.
For high-security applications, impact-resistant bollards are PAS 68 or IWA 14-1 certified — the recognised UK and international crash-rating standards. These bollards are engineered and tested to stop moving vehicles travelling at specific speeds and weights (for example, a 7.5-tonne truck at 40 mph).
At Aremco Barriers, we manufacture UK-made steel bollards for both traffic control and security protection. Our fixed, removable, and retractable (telescopic) bollards are built from heavy-duty galvanised steel, offering the perfect balance of impact resistance, durability, and aesthetic appeal. Whether you need to protect a driveway, shopfront, or high-risk site, we can advise on the best specification for your security level and installation requirements.
