Planning automatic bollards for your site
The layout, surface and access routine determine which product and installation method make sense.
Plan power and safety
Check cable routes, where vehicles stop, visibility of the moving post and the behaviour during a power interruption. Any link to an existing gate needs a compatibility check.
Check ground and upkeep
The powered unit needs a foundation and drainage that suit the specific model. Discuss the manufacturer’s maintenance and manual-release instructions.
COMPARE YOUR OPTIONS
Is this the right type of post?
A manual telescopic or lift-assist bollard may suit an entrance used less often or where a powered installation is impractical.
