Heavy duty bollard

An entirely new hydraulically operated rising bollard for both traffic control and security applications, offering exceptional robustness combined with ease of maintenance, has been introduced by BPT Automation Ltd. Called Europost, it provides an effective alternative to traffic barriers and road blockers, with high resistance to vandalism and ram-raiding. When not required it can easily be lowered to make a flat, flush finish with the road surface.

Two models are available: the Midi (100mm dia) and Maxi (200mm dia) - all rising to 600mm.

Safety control is provided by vehicle sensing loops located either side of the bollard, which prevent it from rising until it is safe to do so. Pressure control is also provided to avoid any risk that the bollard will rise when a pedestrian is standing on it.

Midi and Maxi models can be fitted with integral warning lights which flash prior to and during operation. When the bollard is fully extended, the lights remain on all the time.

Standard rise and fall time is 6 seconds, and 4 seconds respectively. In multiple parking bay applications, several bollards can be operated by one pump with individual control solenoid valves. All Europosts can be activated by a wide range of control devices, such as hand-held radio transmitters, card or token readers, vehicle sensing loops and traffic lights. The hydraulic pump unit is housed in a galvanised steel cabinet mounted away from the bollard, to which it is connected by pipework.
