Gas Assisted Bollard Mechanism
Each lift assist post incorporates a gas-assisted mechanism to support smooth and controlled raising and lowering. This reduces manual effort and enables frequent operation in locations where access requirements change throughout the day.
Key characteristics include:
• Telescopic rising design
• Gas assisted operation
• Secure recessed locking positions
• Supplied with 2 x recesses as standard
• Optional reflective banding
As manual rising bollards, they are suitable for sites where automated systems are unnecessary or impractical.
Flexible Access Control Across Multiple Locations
Lift assist bollards are specified in a variety of environments where temporary vehicle restriction is required.
Typical applications include:
• Pedestrianised town centres
• School entrances
• Private roads and driveways
• Commercial premises
• Industrial estates
• Residential developments
When raised, the post forms a visible and robust barrier. When lowered, it sits flush within its recess, allowing unrestricted vehicle movement.
Durable Finishes for Long-Term Performance
Black lift assist posts are supplied with a nylon-coated finish for enhanced durability and impact resistance. All other colour options are polyester powder coated, providing a hard-wearing and corrosion-resistant surface suitable for external use.
Optional reflective bands improve visibility in low-light conditions, particularly beneficial in car parks, shared access roads and service yards.
Practical Alternative to Hinged Parking Posts and Removable Bollards
For projects requiring more substantial security than a hinged parking post but greater flexibility than fixed or removable bollards, lift assist posts provide an effective middle ground.
They can be specified alongside:
• Fixed steel bollards
• Removable bollards
• Hoop barriers
• Perimeter fencing
This enables specifiers to create layered security strategies tailored to site requirements.
Installation and Operational Considerations
Lift assist posts are installed into prepared ground recesses, allowing the telescopic unit to retract below surface level when not in use. Proper installation into a suitable foundation ensures long-term performance and smooth operation.
Their robust construction and assisted lifting mechanism make them suitable for frequent daily use in busy public realm and commercial settings.
