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.

However, this does not only apply to access roads to private properties: In the context of tragic events – such as the terrorist attack on the Berlin Christmas market or the rampage driving incidents in Münster, Bottrop, and Essen – there is also increased discussion about the use of bollards as temporary barriers for heavily frequented public places. But no matter what purpose you need a reliable bollard for: With our systems, you always make an excellent choice! Do you still have one or two questions about our products before ordering? Take a look at the following FAQ!

The most frequently asked questions about "retractable bollards"

What are retractable bollards and what are they used for?

Retractable bollards are flexible barriers used to regulate traffic in certain areas, control access, and prevent unauthorized parking. In other words: They are everyday lifesavers that keep illegal parkers away, prevent quick break-ins, and stop disruptive turning maneuvers on your property. They can be lifesavers when used as an anti-terror measure in heavily frequented pedestrian zones or promenades.

What types of retractable bollards are there?

There are both mechanical bollards and automatically retractable systems, including pneumatic, hydraulic, and electromechanical bollards. There are also other types such as semi-automatic bollards. However, the clear advantage lies with the fully automatic ones, as only these guarantee quick and convenient handling.

How do retractable bollards work? What mechanisms are used?

That depends entirely on the model. With us, you get both pneumatically and electrically operated bollards. What all have in common regarding the mechanism is their sophisticated safety system. This ensures that a steel cylinder locks into the lifting piston as soon as the system is extended. Thanks to this revolutionary function, any sabotage attempts on the bollard are hopeless.

What advantages do retractable bollards offer compared to fixed bollards?

Their advantage clearly lies in their flexibility. With just the push of a button, you enjoy free passage yourself while unauthorized persons are blocked.

What materials are used for retractable bollards and why?

In our systems, we especially rely on V4A steel, and for good reason: This is a high-quality alloy of chromium, nickel, and molybdenum that gives each of our bollards excellent corrosion resistance. Not only that: Thanks to this impressive high-tech material – which is even used in submarine construction – retractable bollards from our company even pass crash tests! Did you also know that we manufacture every one of the more than 100 individual parts that make up our systems ourselves?
