We take safety seriously: retractable bollards with sabotage protection

Especially when used as an anti-terror measure, some safety aspects must be considered regarding retractable bollards (electric). Many products show concerning deficiencies in this regard. In some, the lowering mechanism cannot withstand heavy loads. In other cases, the mechanism is accessible from the outside via locks that offer little resistance to professional attackers. Sometimes the barrier can also be lowered by interrupting the hydraulic or electric supply lines to it. The products from Braun Antriebe offer convincing solutions for all these security problems. Because our barrier bollards have an electrically operated mechanism that ensures a stainless steel cylinder locks into the lifting piston as soon as the bollards are raised. Only through controlled lowering is the piston unlocked again. Thanks to this innovative system, attempts to forcibly lower the posts remain unsuccessful. Even cutting the pressure lines does not cause our bollards to lower. And if someone tries to simply drive around the barrier? Here too, perpetrators have no chance! Retractable bollards of the Braun Antriebe brand have undergone multiple crash tests – the result: the oncoming cars were totaled, while our bollards held firm.

Modern bollards – retractable, low-maintenance, and affordable to purchase

Especially in inner cities with chronic parking shortages, private properties are often misused as public parking spaces or turning areas, or garage entrances are blocked. And since it is hardly to be expected that drivers annoyed by searching for parking will sabotage extended barrier posts with professional tools, simple bollards are sufficient here – if desired, also as a retractable version that can be conveniently controlled with a remote control. This way, you enjoy free passage at the push of a button, while unauthorized persons can see where to stay. If you decide to buy one or more solid electric bollards from us, you can not only rely on our particularly attractive price conditions, which result from the fact that we do not involve any intermediaries in the distribution of our products (this cost saving benefits our customers). All bollards from Braun Antriebe are also extremely low-maintenance, saving you additional costs and effort.
