A phenomenal piece of engineering and the strongest security bollard in the world.
The SP1000 Automatic Rising Bollard has become a benchmark for the industry and the flagship product within our automatic product range after it successfully arrested a fully laden 7.5 tonne truck on two separate occasions at the TRL testing facility in Wokingham.
The clip below shows a snippet of the first test at 50kmh (30mph), which resulted in a complete "dead stop" of the vehicle and the bollard continuing to function.
The following week the bollard was retested, this time at 80kmh (50mph) and again resulted in a complete arrest of the vehicle and the bollard continuing to function. Download the full version of the PAS 68 Impact Tests of our SP bollards by clicking here.
