Sometimes, using removable or collapsible bollards makes more sense.
Using fixed bollards is one way to improve the security of your property. However, for many commercial and residential properties, this isn’t always the most feasible approach. Sometimes, using removable or collapsible bollards makes more sense. Let’s have a look at what benefits these bollards have.
More About Removable Bollards
Fixed bollards are permanent structures. As sturdy as they are, they might not be able to suit your company’s needs in every situation. Enhancing flexibility when it comes to site access is essential, especially when other security measures are being upgraded or are otherwise incapacitated.
The posts that support these bollards can be removed from their sleeves. Then the lid connects to the ground. Since these bollards can be posted in place or later removed, you can allow quicker and easier access for foot or vehicle traffic. It all comes down to what is going on around your party. A summer street festival will need different crowd control efforts than a sporting event or entertainment spectacle. Adding padlocks to the removable bollards also makes them more secure. This ensures that unauthorized users cannot merely deactivate them and walk away with them, overcoming the barrier that was there before.
More About Collapsible Bollards
While similar in design, collapsible bollards are still distinct from their counterparts. The bollards can be raised or lowered by remote control or direct access. When standing at attention, they provide just as much protection as regular bollards that are considered permanent fixtures. Once deactivated or returned to the ground, it opens up a walkway or driveway. These bollards are better suited for smaller access points, such as alleys or wrought iron gates that may or may not slide open when a compatible sensor is detected.
Choosing Stronger Models
Upgrading the bollards protecting your property is a worthwhile investment. This means that you can continue to protect your premises without regard to how quickly your business grows or how fast the campus surrounding it expands. Stainless steel bollards can protect against impact damage from vehicles piloted by operators with bad intentions. It can also help you determine whether an incident was entirely by accident and not by design.
