Unlike fixed posts, the lift assist parking post can be raised or lowered as required, allowing authorised vehicles to enter while preventing unauthorised access when in the upright position. The assisted lifting mechanism reduces manual strain, making it appropriate for sites where the bollard is operated multiple times per day.
Typical applications include:
• Staff and resident parking bays
• Commercial loading areas
• Private driveways and managed developments
• School and healthcare access routes
• Service yards within retail and industrial estates
The unit is supplied with two recesses as standard, ensuring the bollard sits flush within the ground sleeve when lowered, helping to maintain a safe and unobstructed surface.
Durable Materials for External Environments
The lift assist bollard is manufactured for long-term external use, with finishes selected to withstand exposure to the elements.
Finish options include:
• Black posts supplied with a durable nylon coating
• Alternative colours polyester powder coated
• Optional reflective bands for enhanced visibility
These coatings provide resistance to corrosion and general wear, supporting reliable performance in exposed car park and roadside environments.
Controlled Manual Rising Operation
This manual rising bollard incorporates an internal lift assist mechanism, often referred to as a gas strut bollard system. The assisted action reduces the force required to raise the post from its recessed position, supporting smoother operation and improving user safety.
Operational benefits include:
• Reduced manual effort during lifting
• Controlled upward movement
• Stable upright locking position
• Flush ground finish when lowered
The telescopic lift assist bollard design ensures that, when retracted, the post does not create a trip hazard or visual obstruction.
Correct installation is essential to ensure smooth operation and long-term reliability. The ground sleeve must be securely concreted into place, with appropriate drainage provision to prevent water accumulation within the recess.
Key installation points:
• Concrete foundation required
• Allowance for water drainage within the sleeve
• Alignment to ensure smooth lifting action
• Suitable for paved, asphalt, or concrete surfaces
Where multiple access points are required, the lift assist post can be specified alongside fixed or removable bollards from the Broxap range to create a coordinated access control solution.
The lift assist bollard provides a balanced solution between permanent perimeter control and flexible vehicle access. It is particularly well suited to environments where daily operation is expected, but full automation is unnecessary.
Commonly specified as a lift assist parking post, it offers:
• Effective deterrence against unauthorised parking
• Discreet integration into existing hard landscaping
• Reduced operator strain compared to non-assisted posts
• Professional appearance suited to commercial settings
For developments requiring layered security, it can be integrated with perimeter fencing, height restrictors, and access gates to form part of a comprehensive site management strategy.
