Stainless Steel Bollards
Our Stainless Steel Bollards with their highly polished finish will work well in any location like upscale retail locations, company campuses, car dealerships and any other location that requires a non-industrial looking bollard. This class of stainless steel bollards are designed for closing off areas to vehicular traffic but not designed for street traffic. Refer to our Traffic Bollards or Anti- Ram Bollards for street traffic use.
The choices in bollards range from the more costly “automatic” (motorized) bollards which require more expense in the initial bollard cost, electrical and excavation work, to “semi-automatic” bollards which are spring lift assisted so that it is easy to lift the bollard up out of its retracted position casing in the ground. Another less expensive option is “removable” bollards which are lifted out of its companion socket receiver which has been set into the ground.
Crash Rated Anti-Ram Bollards
Crash Rated Anti-Ram Bollards are manufactured as motorized automatic retractable bollards, semi-automatic bollards and fixed bollards. They are not available in manually retractable or removable forms due to their very heavy weight needed to withstand vehicle collisions. The crash resistance is verified by an actual test where a truck is impacted into a bollard test installation to confirm its ability to stop the vehicle within a predefined distance by an independent testing service. A common specification is K4, K8 and K12 which is the most crash resistant rating.
Traffic Rated Bollards
Traffic Rated Bollards are designed to handle the tire rollover pressure of cars and trucks. The typical installation would be to close off streets for public events or entry ways into a secure facility. These bollards are more resistance to external forces than the typical residential bollard. Bollards in general are not normally used in place of a barrier arm gate used to control busy entry traffic, but better used to close off areas to motor vehicles.
Residential Use Rated Bollards
Residential Use Rated Bollards are sturdy general purpose bollards for pedestrian area protection, reserved parking areas for offices, residential areas, commercial or industrial sites, hospitals, public buildings, campsites, holiday and sport resorts. Although not designed for heavy vehicle traffic these bollards are a good choice for permanent or temporary closing needed areas. These bollards are available in automatic, semi-automatic and fixed models with easy installation requirements.

Automatic that raise and lower by remote control. Much like a gate operator they include a control panel with an air pump (pneumatic) or electric motor/ gear box (mechanical).
Crash-Rated Bollard: are Automatic or Fixed inground bollards and are certified to ASTM standards to resist specific levels of impact.
Semi-Automatic: are pushed down by hand and locked with a key. To raise the bollard, turn the locking key and the bollard will rise without lifting it up.
Manual: are lowered down by hand and locked with a key. To raise the bollard, turn the locking key and lift the bollard by hand and lock it the up position.
Fixed: are not removable and are bolted down to a concrete slab or poured in place with concrete.

Stainless Steel Bollards- Residential / Light Commercial
Stainless Steel bollards are a great choice for locations where architectural considerations require a way to block traffic in an esthetically pleasing way and still have the ability to be moved or retracted to offer a clear and unobstructed entry way. This unique feature cannot be found with swinging, sliding or barrier gates which are visible whether open or closed. The choices in bollards range from the more costly “automatic” (motorized) bollards which require more expense in the initial bollard cost, electrical and excavation work, to “semi-automatic” bollards which are spring lift assisted so that it is easy to lift the bollard up out of its retracted position casing in the ground.
Anti-Ram Crash Rated Bollards
Crash rated, anti-ram bollards are manufactured as motorized automatic retractable bollards, semi-automatic bollards and fixed bollards. They are not available in manually retractable or removable forms due to their very heavy weight needed to withstand vehicle collisions. The crash resistance is verified by an actual test where a truck is impacted into a bollard test installation to confirm its ability to stop the vehicle within a predefined distance by an independent testing service.
