Why Install Retractable & Telescopic Bollards at Your Premises?

July 20, 2022

Retractable & Telescopic Bollards is a security barrier that retracts and locks into position as needed. When not in use, it will sink into the ground, enabling cars to pass. However, other than that, what else do you need to know about this fantastic product?

What are the advantages of using telescopic security bollards?

They protect people and places

With serious crime being a significant threat in the United Kingdom, keeping people and businesses safe is critical. This is especially important considering the increase in terrorist activities utilising cars, many of which aim to injure pedestrians badly. Crash-tested telescopic bollards are extremely strong and can resist the power of a car hit. 

Telescopic bollards with crash ratings are among the most trustworthy. As a result, they can dissuade drivers from committing such crimes. Also, because they retract when they are not in use, other automobiles can still utilise public locations.

Retractable Telescopic Bollards aid in traffic control

Our telescopic security bollards are ideal for slowing and regulating traffic. Our bollards, for example, can be used to restrict pedestrian access to streets, parks, and other areas while still allowing delivery and maintenance trucks to pass through.

They prevent individuals from stealing parking spots

Telescopic security bollards are often in commercial and residential buildings to ensure that unauthorised vehicles do not take up parking places that are not theirs.

They provide a safe and accessible solution

When not in use, telescopic security bollards are retractable and do not constitute an obstacle or a trip hazard. This can be quite useful in areas with pedestrian access.

What is the operation of Retractable Telescopic Bollards?

Our security bollards are available in a range of designs and sizes. We would be more than happy to discuss the best option for you and your needs. Telescopic security bollards are frequently installed rather deep down into the ground. This gives them the strength they need to withstand an automobile crash. Telescopic security bollards also lock into place when raised manually or automatically. They also disappear entirely below the surface when not in use, leaving a smooth, flush-to-the-ground finish.

Telescopic bollards are typically found in the following places:

Deliveries have their own bays

For an organisation to function correctly, delivery vehicles must not be blocked. Telescopic security bollards are a great option to prevent this, especially in pedestrian areas.

Towns and cities

To make crowded places safe, more and more towns are implementing anti-terrorism measures. Telescopic security bollards offer an important function in ensuring pedestrian safety.

Parking spaces

Having someone park in your driveway or work parking spot is a huge pain. That’s why our Telescopic security bollards ensure that only those you authorise can park in your defined areas.
