    Features of telescopic rising bollards

    Here at Expert Security, our telescopic bollards let you secure your premises without needing high walls or complex barriers and gates. Their unobtrusive and simple-to-use design makes them perfect for strategically placing on forecourts, car parks, and shopfronts without making it difficult for customers to do business with you during opening hours.

    Our telescopic commercial bollards can be locked into an upright position in seconds thanks to their innovative push-in locking design. This means you can grant access to or deter vehicles that seek access to certain areas of your property quickly and easily.

    When not in use, the post slides discreetly into its host tube, sealed with a steel flap, just below ground level. This ensures that your property remains welcoming and obstruction-free when you want to grant easy access to customers.

    Our retractable security bollards are:

    • Easy to use: They feature a quick and easy-moving mechanism with an innovative push-in locking design.
    • Versatile: Our rising bollards can be installed on a wide range of premises, including car parks, forecourts, pedestrian areas, loading bays, and more.
    • Durable: Their sturdy construction ensures they can withstand impacts from moving vehicles to keep your property safe and secure for many years to come.
    • Unobtrusive: Our telescopic bollards retract neatly into their host tubes and are sealed with a steel flap to make them entirely unobtrusive when not in use.
    • Easy to install: We can install your new security bollards with minimal disruption to your business.

    Benefits of telescopic bollards

    1. Flexible access control
    When you need to ensure easy access at some times but restrict entrance to a certain area at other times, telescopic bollards are the obvious choice. For example, if you want to make your business accessible and welcoming during opening hours but want to prevent any vehicles from parking there when the business is closed, these rising bollards are ideal as they can be raised and lowered as needed. This is also why telescopic security bollards are commonly seen in car parks – they can restrict access at certain times or for unauthorised vehicles whilst allowing authorised vehicles to park when they need to.

    2. Discreet security
    A potential problem with more obvious security measures like industrial gates is that they may be off-putting to the public on commercial premises. However, it’s still vital to ensure that unauthorised vehicles can’t approach or park on private property, so retractable bollards help you strike a balance between on-site security and maintaining a welcoming and inviting environment.

    3. Obstruction-free
    In addition to being discreet, retractable bollards ensure that the area remains obstruction-free when easy access is desired (e.g. during business opening hours). Telescopic bollards fully retract into the ground when they’re no longer needed, which means that vehicles won’t become caught or damaged by these security measures when they’re authorised to enter.

    4. Easy operation
    To ensure fully flexible access control, telescopic parking bollards and security bollards are designed to be very easy to operate. These rising bollards can either have manual or automatic operation – requiring you to either physically move the bollard or use a fob – but either way, the mechanism is designed to be very smooth and easy to move. This ensures that you can quickly manage access to a property, pedestrian area or parking spot to aid the flow of traffic and keep the area safe and secure.

    Frequently asked questions

    • What are telescopic bollards?

      Telescopic bollards are security posts that are built into the ground and can either be lowered or raised to control access to a property or parking space. Unlike automatic bollards, which are always controlled remotely, telescopic security bollards can be manual or automatic.

    • What are the benefits of these security bollards?

      With telescopic parking bollards, you get completely flexible access control. These bollards are very quick and easy to use, so you can manage access to your property whenever you need. Plus, since they’re entirely unobtrusive when they retract into the ground, they will help your business maintain a welcoming environment for customers whilst still keeping out unauthorised individuals outside of opening hours.

    • Can telescopic bollards be used as commercial bollards?

      Absolutely! These retractable bollards are extremely versatile and can be installed on a wide range of premises, including commercial buildings, car parks, forecourts, drive-throughs, loading bays and more.

    • Do you need planning permission for bollards?

      You don’t need planning permission to install security bollards or parking bollards on your own private property. However, you will need planning permission if you plan to install bollards on public land, such as public roads.

    • What are the bollard regulations in the UK?

      In addition to planning permission regulations, there are also other bollard regulations to be aware of for your upcoming project, including the requirement to have a maximum spacing of 1.2 metres between bollards. You will also need to consider the potential speed of cars near your bollards, as faster vehicle speeds will require you to install bollards further away from any buildings due to the potential force of a crash.

      To learn more about bollard regulations, make sure you read our ultimate guide to bollard regulations in the UK.

    • When will my rising bollards be delivered and installed?
