Shallow Mount Bollards

Shallow Mounted Bollards

Bollards are a popular security measure for a wide range of applications, from government buildings to shopping centres. If you’re working on a project that requires access control or protection and hostile vehicle mitigation (HVM), you may be deciding between standard and shallow-mount bollards.

What Are Shallow Mount Bollards?

In some locations, it’s not possible to excavate the depth needed to install traditional bollards. In these situations, shallow mount bollards can be the ideal solution. These security bollards can be installed at a shallower depth, making them an excellent choice for sites with existing infrastructure or where there is limited space for deep foundations.

Despite the shallower installation, they still offer strong protection against vehicle impact, providing security and safety without significant disruption to the area.

As with other types of bollards, HVM shallow mount bollards are available as fixed or retractable. So, what’s the difference?

Fixed Shallow Mount Bollards

Fixed shallow mount bollards are permanently installed in the ground. They offer constant protection and security, making them ideal for high-risk locations where vehicle access is not required.

Retractable Shallow Mount Bollards

Retractable shallow mount bollards, on the other hand, can be lowered to offer vehicle access when needed. They offer more flexibility and come with either manual or automatic raising and lowering capabilities.
