Automatic and manual Bollards
A bollard is a post that is either metallic or PVC, and it is used to restrict unauthorized vehicles to a secured location. A bollard can be either fixed or automatic. A fixed bollard is always fixed to the ground, either removable or non-removable. An automatic bollard rises to block the traffic and goes down to allow access. Automatic bollards are of three types: electrical, pneumatic, and hydraulic. The electric and pneumatic bollards are used for less secure locations like villas, building apartments, road blockages, etc.
Hydraulic bollards
Hydraulic bollards are used in more secure and sensitive areas like military bases, airports, palaces, institutions, etc. It has a high crash rate value like K12. It has a metallic body connected to a hydraulic piston. There are two hydraulic pipes connected to the compressor, which raises the bollard and lowers it. The compressor cabinet has a controller, and the controller controls the compressor unit.
Hydraulic bollards are operated by oil, and the compressor pumps the oil through the pipes to the bollard, while pneumatic bollards operate by air and electric bollards by motor.
The bollard can be operated by a remote or emergency push button. The bollards also have an induction loop for the safety of vehicles. When the car is present on the induction loop, the bollard will not rise. There are different dimensions for the bollard that come in 20cm and 30 cm, and the height also varies from 60cm to 1mtr depending on the sensitivity of the area.
