Automated gates and barriers manufacturer BPT Automation Ltd has launched two new electro-hydraulic rising bollards: Coral and Vigilo.
The new bollards are a cost-effective and convenient means, it is claimed, to restrict vehicle access in public and private areas. They can be used to secure the perimeter or entrance, protect a specific area or perhaps form a barrier in front of a valuable showroom window, the makers say. They can be used, it is claimed, on sites where space is limited, where conventional gates are not possible or as an alternative.
Coral and Vigilo are operated via the BPT Elpro 10 electronic control unit, which allows the bollards to be operated in automatic or semi automatic mode; with an operation time of four seconds, the makers say. The control unit can be integrated with access control and safety equipment such as traffic lights, photocells and ground loops. There is also the option of an electro-valve and coupling, which automatically lowers the bollards in the event of an emergency or power failure. Coral is the smaller of the new bollards with a diameter of 100mm, whereas Vigilo comes with a 200mm diameter. Both bollards come in a choice two heights – 510mm and 810mm.
