Our padlock controlled, removable bollards offer a simple and effective approach to controlling vehicle access. The bollards feature two components:

• a sleeve which is concreted in-ground and
• the stem which slots into the sleeve, and is secured to the sleeve by padlock

To cater for a variety of vehicle applications we offer two styles of sleeve.  The product offered here is for low traffic environments.

Low traffic:
The DB90RSLV/LT sleeve has been designed for low traffic volumes, ie pedestrian and occasional light vehicle movements. It features the convenience of a 'flip-top' lid that simply folds down over the sleeve when the stem is not required. When the stem is in place, the lid helps secure the bollard and stem together.

High traffic:
For environments with any type of heavy or frequent traffic, we would recommend, for increased longevity, using a high traffic sleeve (DB90RSLV/HT). Drawing from experience, frequent traffic movements over the low traffic 'flip-top' style sleeve, will eventually break the lid away from the sleeve, particularly where heavy vehicles are turning on top of the sleeve, rendering the bollard useless. To cater for this, we have designed a sleeve that has no critical moving components that are exposed to the forces exerted by vehicle tyres.The sleeve features a locking mechanism that slides back into the sleeve when not in use, protecting it from wear and tear. The high traffic sleeve is supplied complete with a galvanised steel sleeve plug that covers the hole whilst traffic and pedestrians pass over. A lifting key for the plug is also supplied to make removal of the plug easy.
