A Retractable & Telescopic Bollard is a retractable security barrier that locks into place as required. It will sink into the earth when not in use, allowing vehicles to pass. But, other than that, what else do you need to know about this brilliant product?
What are the benefits of a telescopic security bollard?
They keep people and places safe
With severe crime still posing a significant danger in the United Kingdom, keeping people and places safe is vital. This is especially relevant given the surge in terrorist acts involving cars, many of which intend to seriously injury pedestrians. Telescopic security bollards that have been crash tested are highly sturdy and will withstand the force of a car strike. Indeed, crash-rated telescopic bollards are among the most dependable. As a result, they can deter bad drivers from committing such crimes; furthermore, other cars can still use public places because they retract when not in use.
They help with traffic control
Our telescopic security bollards are the perfect solution for calming and managing traffic. Bollards, for example, can be used to restrict access to pedestrianised streets, parks, and other locations while still allowing delivery and maintenance trucks to pass through.
They stop people from stealing parking spaces
Businesses and residential buildings commonly utilise telescopic security bollards to guarantee that unauthorised cars do not take up parking spaces that are not theirs.
They provide a safe and accessible solution
Telescopic security bollards are retractable when not in use and do not create an impediment or a trip hazard. In regions with pedestrian access, this may be a big help.
How does a telescopic security bollard work?
Our Telescopic & Retractable security bollards come in a variety of shapes and sizes. And we would love to discuss the best choice for you and your requirements. Telescopic security bollards are often rather deep below the ground. This provides them with the necessary strength to withstand a collision with a car. When telescopic security bollards rise, either manually or mechanically, they lock into place. When not in use, they also withdraw completely underground, leaving a smooth, flush-to-the-ground finish.
Telescopic bollards are commonly in the following locations:
Bays for deliveries. Delivery trucks must not be restricted for an organisation to work successfully. Telescopic security bollards are an excellent choice, particularly in pedestrianised areas.
Cities and towns. To keep crowded locations secure, more and more municipalities are having to employ anti-terror measures. When it comes to guaranteeing pedestrian safety, telescopic security bollards play a critical role.
Parking spaces. It’s a terrible hassle to have somebody park in your driveway or work parking spot. Telescopic security bollards guarantee that only those you grant permission to park in your designated locations.
