Engineered for Maximum Security and Reliability
The Arlau automatic bollard system is built to serve as a formidable barrier for high-security sites. With certified impact ratings of K4, K8, or K12, it is designed to withstand significant vehicle collisions, offering peace of mind for protecting pedestrians, buildings, and assets.
Durable Construction for Extreme Environments
Crafted from marine-grade 316 stainless steel, this bollard offers superior corrosion resistance, ideal for harsh coastal or industrial areas. Its sealed IP68 enclosure guarantees reliable operation in all weather conditions, from heavy rain to dust storms, and across an extreme temperature range of -45°C to +75°C.
Flexible Control for Practical Security
This system offers versatile operation to suit your needs. It can be configured for integration with automated access control systems or supplied as a robust manual lifting bollard that requires no external power, activated simply with a key. This makes it a fail-safe solution for remote locations or as a backup during power outages.

Automatic Bollard System - 316 Stainless Steel
1. What do the K4, K8, and K12 ratings mean?
These are standardized crash ratings that certify the bollard's level of impact resistance. K4, K8, and K12 correspond to different levels of kinetic energy absorption from a vehicle collision. Selecting the correct rating is based on your site's specific risk assessment and security requirements.
2. Why choose a manual lifting bollard over a fully automatic one?
A manual lifting bollard operated by a key offers absolute reliability, as it does not depend on electrical power or hydraulic systems. It is an excellent, low-maintenance choice for sites where access changes infrequently, power is unreliable, or where a simple, tamper-proof solution is preferred.
3. How does the shallow bury installation benefit my project?
The shallow bury bollard design requires a less deep and extensive concrete foundation. This significantly reduces installation time and cost, minimizes disruption to existing landscapes, and allows for installation where deep digging is not possible due to underground pipes or cables.
4. Can this bollard be integrated with our existing security gates and card readers?
Yes. While the standard model is manual, this bollard system is designed for integration. It can be configured to work seamlessly with automated hydraulic systems and connected to your existing access control infrastructure, including card readers, license plate recognition, and central security software.
5. Is 316 stainless steel necessary, or is 304 sufficient?
For most inland environments, 304 stainless steel provides excellent durability. We recommend upgrading to 316 stainless steel for installations in highly corrosive environments, such as coastal areas with salt spray, industrial zones, or regions that use heavy road de-icing salts, as it offers much higher resistance to pitting and corrosion.
