Retractable Bollards

Explore our advanced range of retractable bollards, expertly engineered to provide seamless and adaptable access control for diverse environments across the UK. Unlike fixed barriers, retractable bollards (often referred to as telescopic bollards or rising bollards) offer the unique ability to completely withdraw into the ground when not in use. This allows for flexible management of vehicle and pedestrian traffic, making them an ideal solution where temporary security or discreet access is paramount.

Key Benefits & Applications:

Our selection of retractable bollards is perfectly suited for a variety of applications, ensuring both effective control and aesthetic integration:

• High Streets & Pedestrian Zones: We offer high street bollards that can be retracted to permit delivery lorries or emergency vehicle access, then raised to secure pedestrian areas. Examples include the GL500 Retractable Galvanised Bollard and GL745 Retractable Stainless Steel Grade 304 Bollard. They’re perfect for creating safe, traffic-free zones in bustling town centres.
• Cycle Lanes: Our specifically designed cycle lane bollards like the GL900 Retractable Galvanised Bollard and GL900 Ret retractable Stainless Steel Grade 304 Bollard allow for controlled access while prioritising cyclist safety. Some models feature a clever Lift Assist mechanism for easier operation.
• Parking Management: As a specialised form of parking bollards, retractable versions can be used to reserve spaces, control entry to private car parks, or secure temporary parking zones. They’re particularly useful for residential driveways, acting as sophisticated driveway bollards to deter unauthorised parking.
• Security & Traffic Control: Functioning as highly effective security bollards and traffic bollards, these units can be deployed to restrict unauthorised vehicle entry at specific times or for enhanced site security, providing robust vehicle access control. They are a strong deterrent against ram-raids and can significantly improve the security of commercial and private properties.

Types & Features of Retractable Bollards:

Our comprehensive range includes various materials and functionalities to meet your specific needs:

• Materials: You’ll find retractable bollards crafted from robust galvanised steel and high-grade Stainless Steel Grade 304, ensuring exceptional durability and resistance to the often challenging British weather conditions.
• Heights: Available in various heights above ground, such as 500mm, 745mm, and 900mm, to suit different access control requirements and site specifications.
• Locking Mechanisms: Options include secure key lockable versions for controlled operation and padlockable versions for straightforward manual control.

Customisation and Ordering:

Many of our retractable bollards have multiple variants and options that can be chosen directly on the product page, allowing for tailored solutions. While specific colour ranges for all retractable bollards might not be explicitly detailed, the presence of variants often suggests customisation possibilities. For instance, galvanised bollards are typically silver, but surface finishes can vary. We recommend enquiring about specific colour options if you have a particular aesthetic in mind.
