Automatic Bollard Installation

The installation process begins with a detailed assessment of the site, including ground conditions, traffic flow, and access requirements. Our engineers plan the positioning and spacing of each automatic bollard to ensure effective coverage and reliable operation. All automated bollards are installed in accordance with current safety regulations and configured to suit the operational demands of the location.

Features

Blue Check
Automated Bollards Operation
Automated bollards operate through hydraulic or electromechanical systems that raise and lower the bollard as required. These systems allow for controlled access, enabling authorised vehicles to enter while restricting unauthorised movement.

Operation can be managed through access control systems, remote devices, or timed settings depending on site requirements.
Blue Check
Access Control Integration
Automatic bollards can be integrated with a range of access control solutions, including keypads, proximity readers, and intercom systems. This integration allows access to be granted securely while maintaining oversight of vehicle entry.

The system can also be configured to work alongside wider security infrastructure, supporting coordinated site management.
Blue Check
Safety and Control Features
Safety features are incorporated into all automatic bollard systems to support safe operation. These may include obstacle detection, warning signals, and emergency lowering functions.

Such features help ensure that bollards respond appropriately to vehicles and pedestrians within the vicinity.
Blue Check
System Design
The design of automatic bollards is tailored to the environment in which they are installed. Factors such as vehicle frequency, required level of security, and available space are considered during the planning stage.

Bollards can be arranged as single units or in groups, depending on the level of control needed at the access point.
Blue Check
System Configuration
Each automatic bollard system is configured to match the specific needs of the site. Settings such as raising and lowering times, access permissions, and operational schedules can be adjusted accordingly.

This level of configuration supports consistent and controlled use throughout daily operations.
Blue Check

Automatic Bollards FAQs

High-security and PAS 68 rated bollards are designed to stop hostile vehicles. We assess your risk level and recommend the right impact rating for your site.

Fixed bollards stay in place permanently. Removable bollards can be taken out by hand for occasional access. Automatic bollards retract into the ground at the press of a button or via an access system, giving controlled vehicle entry.
