Gas Assisted Bollards for Controlled Access
Specified as lift assist bollards, these systems incorporate a gas-assisted mechanism to reduce the weight felt by the operator when lifting the post. This makes them particularly appropriate for sites where staff or authorised users need to remove or reinstate bollards frequently.
Typical applications include:
• Service yards and delivery bays
• Private car parks and managed access routes
• Public highways and shared surfaces
• Commercial premises and retail parks
• Residential developments with controlled vehicle access
The controlled movement improves ease of use while reducing strain and the risk of incorrect handling.
Construction, Finish, and Visual Options
The bollards are finished to withstand long-term outdoor exposure and frequent operation. Black posts are supplied with a durable nylon coating, while all other colours are finished in polyester powder coating, offering consistent protection against corrosion and wear.
Standard and optional features include:
• Telescopic lift assisted mechanism
• Supplied with two recesses as standard
• Nylon coated black finish
• Polyester powder coated colour options
• Optional reflective bands for enhanced visibility
These options allow specifiers to balance visibility, aesthetics, and operational requirements.
Removable Bollards with Lift Assist Functionality
As removable bollards with lift assist, these units provide a practical solution where temporary access is required without permanently open routes. Once lowered, the bollard sits discreetly within the ground sleeve, maintaining a clear surface when vehicle access is permitted.
The gas assisted system ensures consistent performance over repeated cycles, supporting long-term reliability in high-use locations.
Integration with Wider Bollard Schemes
Lift assisted security bollards are often specified alongside fixed bollards, pedestrian barriers, or street furniture to create a coherent access control strategy. They can be used selectively at entry points while fixed solutions define boundaries elsewhere, maintaining both security and visual continuity across a scheme.
