Bollard Mechanism

BGI automatic bollards can be operated with hydraulic, pneumatic, or electro-hydraulic mechanisms; the choice of solution will depend on the operating environment.
Special consideration has been given to drainage in the design to ensure that extreme conditions of dust, water ingress, and snow, do not affect the operation of the bollard.

Hydraulic
Each Bollard contains a hydraulic cylinder and a Hydraulic Power Unit (HPU).
This powerful mechanism ensures the smooth, silent and trouble-free operation of the set of bollards.
For independent, self-contained operation, it is sometimes desirable to use electro-hydraulic units installed in each, individual bollard. Quick and simple installation.

Pneumatic
When powered by BGI’s innovative pneumatic system, the bollards can be operated at higher speeds; these when combined with a light arm barrier.
Pneumatic systems can be used to integrate, simplify and accurately synchronize with other elements in the system.
The pneumatic system reduces wear and tear of the components, ensuring longer life of the components.
