• Flat, 36” tall, 3.5” diameter
• Round, 36” tall, 4.5” diameter

• Flat, 30” tall, 4” clearance height
• Flat, 30” tall, 5” clearance height

 

Collapsible Double Post

Double post collapsible bollards provide the same level of safeguarding as single post bollards. However, these two posts can be folded in opposite directions. You may add an external padlock to the posts if desired. Available size:

• Flat, 30” tall, 3” clearance height

 

Collapsible Double Post Screw Lock

This security post model provides the same features as the collapsible double post, but instead of having an external padlock, it features a locking bolt to keep the two posts in place. Available size:

• Flat, 30” tall, 3” clearance height

 

Collapsible Round Post

Collapsible round posts utilize a lock pin system on the base of the security post for flexible site protection. Available sizes:

For parking lot security when you need it, removable parking bollards are an optimal solution. These bollards, available in both the signature bold finish and sleek stainless steel, have internal locking mechanisms, as well as with exterior padlock options, for maximum safeguarding. Available size:

• Round, 36” tall, 2.375” diameter

 

Collapsible Parking

Collapsible parking bollards are most commonly utilized for moderate security on properties and residential areas. Once in the collapsed position, these bollards provide cars with easy access to the property. Available sizes:
