  Standfast (SSF) Car Posts protect your individual parking space. Sited in the middle of the parking space, the post is locked in the up position to keep your space. On arrival the driver can quickly lower the post to allow the car to safely drive over and park.

The integral key lock is mounted at the top of the Standfast Car Park Post for easy operation. The post is left in the down position whilst the car is parking and raised when the vehicle exits. The integral lock triggers automatically when the post is in the up position.
 
The standard post colour is yellow: Posts can also be supplied in a galvanised finish. A master key (to pass) can be supplied to operate any number of Standfast Posts on a site or posts can be individually locked. The sturdy bolt down metal base is designed to be located onto either a concrete deck or a concrete pad set into asphalt.

The Standfast Post is 625mm high x 63mm diameter. There is also a padlocked version (SSFL) that can be locked in both the upright and lowered position.

Mole Posts (TMP) drop into the ground until it is flush with the top surface, removing any potential trip hazard. Mole Posts offer security and can be used on garage forecourts, car parks, driveways and for cordoning off areas around a site.
 
Secured in the upright position by a padlock at the bottom of the galvanised casing, the post is easy to operate and pull out of the ground. Heavy duty steel construction ensures a long service life with low maintenance costs. The post is 650mm high from ground level.

Anti-Ram Posts are a proven design to protect retail shop fronts, warehouses and property from the risk of ram raiders. Hot dipped galvanised after manufacture for long service life without corrosion. Key operated, the Anti-Ram Post is pulled or lowered into its concrete encased sleeve.

  Large range of steel Removable Bollards: There is a choice of coloured banding on black posts - white or yellow. Both options have bright amber reflectors to make drivers aware day or night.
Small: 750mm high for use in driveways and forecourts.
Medium: 900mm high for car parks, town centres, supermarkets and garages.
Large: 1100mm high for HGV sites, pathway closures and restricted areas in parks.

The large version has two metal handles incorporated into the design for easy handling. There can be a storage problem with any of the Removable Bollards when they are removed from their sockets. Installing a spare “parking” socket gives you the option of storing the Bollards to one side of the installation.
 


Securely padlocked in position into the ground socket. When the Bollards are removed, the galvanised socket lid is flipped shut and locked into place, reducing the risk of pedestrians tripping.

The installation requires a concrete foundation to set the ground socket in position. The excavated hole should be 300mm square by 400mm deep. The concrete will take at least 24 hours to cure before the Removable Bollard can be locked in place.

 


The galvanised ground sockets have other applications: They have been used to support the booms of large Traffic Barriers. The socket design allows the centre post to support either of the aluminium booms in the down position when operated singularly. The post can be safely removed should both Barrier booms be needed to be in the up position.

Questions and Answers
My car park has an asphalt surface. Which bollards should I use? Important! You cannot bolt down Bollards directly onto asphalt, it is too soft a material. So there’s a choice. Either dig a hole and set the bollard into concrete or construct a concrete pad and use a bolt down bollard.

Overhanging or historic buildings are also at risk and in need of protection and damage means costly repairs and does nothing to enhance the appearance of our environment.
