How do I install a removable bollard?

In order to ensure the bollard is offering its full protection, it’s important to install your bollards properly. You can check out our installation instructions to learn how to install your new bollards.

What are your removable bollards’ specifications?

To help you choose the right bollard, detailed spec sheets and submittals are available on each category and product page.

Do you have crash-tested removable bollards available?

In the event a higher level of safety is required or desired, TrafficGuard® has crash-rated removable bollards to ASTM F3016 at 10, 20, and 30 MPH. TrafficGuard® can address all of your low-speed removable bollard security needs. Since 2016, TrafficGuard® has conducted nearly 40 crash tests at Texas A&M Transportation Institute College Station, TX and CalSpan Corporation in Buffalo, NY.

What are the advantages of removable bollards over permanent bollards?

Removable bollards offer flexible security by allowing temporary or seasonal access while maintaining protection when needed. They reduce infrastructure costs and provide versatility that permanent bollards cannot.

How do I choose the right removable bollard for my property?

Consider your site’s traffic patterns, security needs, and aesthetic requirements. Review mounting styles, impact ratings, materials, and locking options to select a solution that balances safety, functionality, and design. Specifiers and end users should also consider installation requirements that may interfere with infrastructure and utilities.

How do I store removable bollards when not in use?

Removable bollards can be stored in galvanized storage racks, keeping them organized, secure, and off the ground to prevent damage, obstruction and theft.

Can removable bollards be customized for aesthetics?

Yes. Many of our bollards feature powder-coated finishes or stainless steel options, allowing you to match your streetscape, plaza, or commercial environment while maintaining security. In the case of crash rated bollards, there are fewer customization options as they are to be built and installed ‘as tested.’

How do I maintain removable bollards for long-term durability?

Regular inspection, cleaning, and lubrication of locking mechanisms will ensure optimal performance. Powder-coated and stainless steel finishes help resist corrosion and wear over time.

Do removable bollards require special tools for installation?

Most bollards are installed with standard tools. Locking models may require keys for secure placement and removal, while non-locking models are manually inserted into ground sleeves.

Do removable bollards meet safety and accessibility regulations?

Yes. TrafficGuard® bollards can be installed to comply with ADA guidelines, pedestrian safety standards, and local traffic regulations, ensuring secure and accessible environments.

Can removable bollards withstand vehicle impacts?

Yes. Bollards installed in traffic-rated ground sleeves are engineered to handle vehicle impacts, depending on their rating.

How long do removable bollards last?

With proper installation and maintenance, removable bollards can last many years. Stainless steel and powder-coated finishes provide excellent resistance to corrosion, wear, and harsh weather conditions.

What is the cost of removable bollards per unit or installation?

Costs vary depending on bollard type, materials, size, locking mechanism, and installation requirements. Contact TrafficGuard® for a quote tailored to your project’s specifications.
