How do you choose an automatic retractable bollard?
An automatic retractable bollard lowers to let authorised vehicles through, then rises to close off access. The choice depends on how the site is used: access for residents, deliveries, service vehicles or protection of a sensitive site.
- Use and frequency of access: specify the vehicles involved, access times and the expected number of operating cycles, particularly at peak times.
- Level of protection: distinguish day-to-day access management from the need for resistance to a vehicle-ramming attack. Check the tested model, test conditions and installation requirements; a performance rating does not automatically apply to the entire range.
- Dimensions and positioning: compare the height above ground, diameter and housing dimensions. Positioning and spacing must be assessed according to the access route, pedestrian use and protection objective.
- Control and operational safety: define how vehicles will be authorised, the safety equipment required and the expected operation in the event of a power cut. Check the capabilities of the selected model.
- Installation and maintenance: have underground services, the power supply, drainage and maintenance access checked. Foundation dimensions and installation conditions must follow the product documentation and site assessment.
Automatic, semi-automatic or manual?
An automatic bollard has a motorised mechanism controlled by the access management system. A semi-automatic bollard requires on-site intervention, with assisted operation depending on the model. A manual bollard is operated directly by the user. Compare our manual and semi-automatic retractable bollards according to your operating arrangements and access frequency.
Compare models and prepare your project
See the A25-60-1548 and A25-100 7548 product pages to review their specifications and available technical documents. Your final choice of retractable bollard must take account of the constraints of your installation.
To prepare the assessment, specify the type of site, access width, authorised vehicles, frequency of access and required level of protection.
