Protecting customers and pedestrians should be a priority for any building owner. TrafficGuard®’s 20 mph stainless steel removable bollard, crash tested to ASTM F3016 is a robust, versatile traffic control device designed to manage vehicle access while prioritizing durability, aesthetics, and ease of use. These bollards are engineered to withstand impacts from 5, 000 lb. vehicles traveling at speeds up to 20 miles per hour, making them ideal for low-speed zones such as pedestrian areas, parking lots, or private driveways. Their stainless-steel construction and removable design offer a blend of strength, corrosion resistance, and flexibility, catering to both functional and aesthetic urban planning needs.
304 Stainless steel is the material of choice for these bollards due to its exceptional durability and resistance to environmental factors. Unlike mild steel or other metals, stainless steel resists rust and corrosion, even in harsh conditions like coastal areas with high salinity or regions with frequent rain and snow. This ensures the bollard maintains its sleek, polished appearance over time, reducing maintenance costs and enhancing the visual appeal of public or private spaces. The material’s strength also allows the bollard to absorb and dissipate the energy of a vehicle impact at 20 mph without significant deformation, protecting both the structure and the surrounding area.
The removable feature is a key advantage, offering flexibility in access control. These bollards are installed in a ground sleeve embedded in the pavement, secured with the patented Helix Lock System (U.S. Patent 8,297,873.) This design allows authorized personnel to remove the bollard quickly for temporary vehicle access, such as during deliveries, emergency services, or events, and then reinstall it to restore pedestrian safety or restrict unauthorized entry. The ease of removal and reinstallation makes these bollards ideal for dynamic environments like urban plazas, campuses, or commercial properties where access needs may vary.
In terms of impact resistance, a 20 mph rating indicates the bollard can stop or significantly slow a vehicle traveling at this speed, typically a standard passenger car or light truck.
While not designed for high-speed crash scenarios like those requiring K4 or K12-rated bollards, a 20 mph bollard is sufficient for low-speed zones where vehicles are unlikely to exceed this threshold.
Aesthetically, stainless steel removable bollards blend seamlessly into modern urban landscapes.
Maintenance is minimal, involving periodic cleaning to preserve the finish and occasional checks on the locking mechanism. Overall, a 20 mph stainless steel removable bollard is a practical, durable, and visually appealing solution for managing vehicle access while prioritizing safety and flexibility in diverse settings.
