Auto & Static (Fixed) Bollards
Avon’s Scimitar Hydraulic and Static Bollard range provides mitigation solutions against hostile vehicle attack where aesthetics and public perception are a consideration, with a selection of decorative sleeves available to complement street furniture and building architecture, the Scimitar Bollard range are all tested using a 7500kg vehicle but at different speeds and foundation depths.
Our Avon SSF100 Resilience Bollard has a structural foundation depth of just 100mm. Its unique design allows it to be installed with the minimum of disruption to existing walkways or pavements.
