Advantages of design; - Lockable - Flush to the ground - Aesthetics - stainless steel complements many architectural styles - Versatility - allows temporary access to vehicles - Durable and low maintenance - Easy to use
Ideal for use in car parks, public spaces, commercial buildings, event venues, schools and universities.
If you order more than one Stainless Steel Telescopic Bollard you can request the locks either require the same key to be unlocked, keyed alike, or the locks require different keys to be unlocked, keyed different. We recommend choosing keyed alike if the bollards are being installed in the same location, however keyed different would be ideal if the bollards are for individual parking spaces on a private car park.
Telescopic bollards are designed to slide into their case installed in the ground. This means the bollards are only up when you want them to be. This is ideal for entrances that require restricted access.
The Telescopic Stainless Steel Bollard is available in 76mm, and 90mm Diameters. There are no physical benefits to choosing a larger diameter bollard as they are all manufactured in 2.5 gauge thickness stainless steel unless requested otherwise. The main reason for choosing a diameter is down to personal preference on the visual outcome. Please be aware the larger Diameter will also weigh more and will require more strength to lift from the ground.
The Telescopic Stainless Steel Bollard is available in either Grade of stainless steel. Grade 304 and grade 316 are the two standard grades of stainless steel that are used for all our bollard manufacturing. Grade 304 Stainless Steel is more cost effective and is perfectly adequate for use in most external environments in the UK. Grade 316 Stainless Steel is superior to grade 304, due to being able to handle extreme exposure to corrosive saline elements, therefore Grade 316 Stainless Steel should be chosen for UK coastal locations. It is worth noting that both grades are identical in appearance and will equally tarnish if they are not regularly maintained.
The Telescopic Stainless Steel Bollard needs to be fitted entirely into the ground. For the 76mm Diameter Stainless Steel Telescopic Bollard we recommend digging a hole to a depth of 680mm, fill the first 100mm with Type 1 MOT Crushed Concrete (approved for use by the Ministry of Transport). Then fill the rest with concrete and install the steel section up to the lip so that it is flush with the ground. Leave to set.
The Telescopic Stainless Steel Bollard will not rust. It will however tarnish and have a ‘tea stain’ effect on the surface after a period of time. It is easily removed by simply cleaning with warm water.
The Telescopic Stainless Steel Bollard will need to be replaced after a car incident has occurred to ensure it is adequately performing and to prevent further damage. If you require a more secure bollard that will handle impact better, look at the heavy duty telescopic stainless steel bollard.
The Telescopic Stainless Steel Bollard is made from a single stainless steel sheet that is machine rolled into a tube. The top cap and two spigots are welded to it. The bollard is then brush polished with a grit belt or wheel to create the standard Brushed Satin Finish.
The Telescopic Stainless Steel Bollard weighs 38 kilograms in total, equivalent to 2 SUV tyres or a baby calf. A single bollard should not be carried alone, multiple units will require a pallet and forklift for transport. The weight of lifting the bollard when installed will be less.
There are many locations where the Telescopic Stainless Steel Bollard can be installed to provide limited access to a location. Prime locations are areas that require intermittent vehicular access, particularly to private car parks and restricted roadways, also domestic driveways.
The Telescopic Stainless Steel Bollard has a guaranteed warranty for 1 year however it should last for a significantly longer period depending on location, how often it is cleaned and whether it has been physically damaged or vandalised.
