What are the advantages of using Retractable & Telescopic Bollards?

They ensure the safety of people and environments

With serious crime still constituting a considerable threat in the United Kingdom, keeping people and places secure is critical. This is especially significant considering the increase in terrorist activities employing automobiles, many of which aim to injure pedestrians. Crash-tested telescopic security bollards are very strong and can resist the power of a car hit. Indeed, telescoping bollards with crash ratings are among the most trustworthy. Consequently, they can dissuade criminal drivers from committing such crimes; also, because they retract when not in use, other automobiles can still utilise public locations.
