What are the factors to consider when choosing a bollard?
An important factor to consider when choosing a bollard is the frequency of vehicles that need to enter and exit the junction.
We can choose different types of bollards depending on the frequency and whether the junction is manned or not. Based on this criterion, bollards can be divided into three types:
The first type of bollard is the fixed bollard. Fixed bollards, as the name suggests, are bollards that cannot be moved or retracted. These bollards are installed in areas where vehicles are not permitted to pass through, or in specific areas to protect certain buildings or other items.
The second type of bollard is one that requires a person to manually operate and is called a mobile bollard. This type of bollard can be installed at entrances and exits where vehicles do not need to enter or exit frequently and are supervised. Usually, when a vehicle needs to enter or exit the area, the moveable bollard will be removed to allow the vehicle to enter or exit.
The third type is the telescopic bollard. Telescopic bollards are divided into two kinds, one is the need to manually go to the operation of the common is relatively thin bollards, these bollards have poor anti-collision performance, generally as a role of partition. There is also a kind of automatic bollard, the size of this bollard will usually be larger, in general, these bollards usually need to be electrified, through the control system, can be achieved remotely, these bollards because of better impact resistance, therefore, often used in places that require a high level of protection or used for personal family vehicle anti-theft.
According to the characteristics of different bollards, and then according to the installation of bollards in the place of the situation, choose their own bollards, if they can not judge what type of bollards should be installed, you can consult a professional bollard manufacturers, they will provide better advice.
Choose what kind of bollards is a more professional work, you can consult a specific bollard company, each country and region have a lot of bollard installation company, these companies have a lot of installation experience and actual project experience, can provide more professional and rationalised advice, you can trust them, of course, you can also directly consult the UPARK, we are able to provide a complete variety of bollards of the installation drawings and construction guidance. Of course, you can also directly consult UPARK, we can provide complete installation drawings and construction guidance for all types of bollards.
Bollard collision performance is mainly affected by three factors (we refer to the bollard are 304 stainless steel as the material of the automatic bollard), the first is the diameter of the bollard, usually home bollard diameter is 168mm, 219mm. the second is the thickness of the bollard, the thickness of the general situation can be directly selected 6mm thick, of course, in the case of home, you can also choose 8mm or 10mm thickness bollard. 10mm thickness of the bollard. The third factor is the height of the bollard above the ground, which is usually 600mm, because this height of the bollard can effectively stop the vehicle, and the chassis height of the vehicle will not exceed 600mm.
Where can I find automatic bollards for home installation?
When installing automatic bollards for home use, apart from the crashworthiness of the bollard, which is of course the most important factor, the overall cost also needs to be taken into account. Automatic bollards for home use are mainly used to manage vehicle access or in some areas to prevent car theft, so a cost-effective bollard needs to be considered holistically. In addition to the price of the automatic bollard itself, but also need to take into account the cost of construction and installation, general hydraulic automatic bollard, the installation process will be more complex, the need for construction and installation of time is also relatively long, coupled with the drainage system, the entire construction and installation costs will be relatively high.UPARK brand of automatic bollards, the use of sealing design structure, do not need to do the drainage system, and at the same time, because the UPARK brand of automatic bollards using a sealed design structure, do not need to do the drainage system, and because UPARK brand automatic bollard adopts electromechanical structure, therefore, the whole weight will be lighter, the installation process is more simple, can reduce a lot of construction and installation time, thus reducing the construction and installation costs.
If there is anything you do not understand or are not clear about when choosing or installing a bollard, you can contact UPARK directly and we will provide you with professional and fast service.
