Hydraulic Bollards

Hydraulic bollards are robust, high-security access control devices engineered for environments where strength, reliability, and rapid operation are critical. Designed to protect sensitive areas from unauthorised vehicle access or potential threats, these bollards are the go-to solution for government facilities, military bases, embassies, airports, commercial complexes, and other high-security zones.

Operating through a powerful hydraulic mechanism, these automatic bollards can quickly raise or lower to control vehicle entry, even in the most demanding environments. Known for their durability and impact resistance, these bollards are often used as anti-ram bollards, capable of withstanding forceful vehicle collisions while ensuring continued operation.

Heavy-Duty Protection Meets Intelligent Access Control

Hydraulic bollards provide a high level of physical protection while integrating seamlessly with modern vehicle access control systems. They are typically connected to access technologies such as remote keypads, RFID readers, ANPR systems, or security control rooms, enabling secure and automated management of entry points.

Whether used as a visible deterrent or integrated into a discreet security strategy, hydraulic rising bollards offer a balance of security, speed, and automation in a wide range of applications.

Key Features of Hydraulic Bollards

• High-Impact Resistance: Designed for crash-rated security, many of these bollards can withstand vehicular impact at high speeds.

• Rapid Deployment: Rising and retracting in just seconds, these automatic bollards provide fast and reliable access control.

• Weatherproof Design: Engineered to function in extreme weather conditions, including heavy rain, snow, and temperature fluctuations.

• Durable Materials: Typically made from reinforced steel or stainless steel with anti-corrosion coatings for long-term use.

• Manual Override Options: Backup systems allow bollard control during power outages or system failures.

Applications of Hydraulic Bollards

• Government and Military Facilities: Ensure top-level protection of sensitive sites from unauthorised or hostile vehicles.

• Airports and Transport Hubs: Control access to restricted zones and improve perimeter security.

• Commercial Properties: Manage vehicle access to delivery bays, private car parks, and restricted service areas.

• City Centres and Public Spaces: Regulate vehicle flow into pedestrianised zones while maintaining security.

• Banks and Data Centres: Use as anti-ram bollards to guard against forced vehicle entry and ram-raiding attempts.

Benefits of Choosing Hydraulic Bollards

• Maximum Security: Crash-rated and designed to stop high-speed vehicles in the event of a security breach.

• Automated Operation: Integrated with modern control systems for seamless access management.

• Customisable Designs: Available in different heights, diameters, finishes, and control options.

• 24/7 Reliability: Built for continuous use in high-traffic or high-risk areas.

• Discreet Yet Effective: Retract fully into the ground when not in use, maintaining aesthetic appeal without compromising safety.

Hydraulic bollards are ideal for high-security environments requiring reliable, heavy-duty protection and fast response times. With advanced automation, unmatched durability, and proven resistance to impact, these rising security bollards represent a critical component of modern perimeter defence and vehicle access control.
