Manual Bollards by 78Fence

At 78 Fence, we specialize in the installation of manual bollards, offering a cost-effective and flexible security solution for controlling vehicle access. Designed for durability and ease of use, manual bollards provide a reliable way to protect property and pedestrians while allowing controlled entry when needed.

What Are Manual Bollards?

Manual bollards are physical security barriers that can be operated manually to restrict or permit vehicle access. Unlike automatic bollards, which rely on hydraulic or pneumatic systems, manual bollards require no power source, making them ideal for locations without access to electricity or where a simple, low-maintenance solution is preferred. These bollards are made from high-strength materials such as steel or concrete and are designed to withstand significant impact forces.

They are available in various sizes, styles, and finishes to match specific security needs while complementing the surrounding environment. Additionally, manual bollards often feature locking mechanisms for enhanced security, and many models come with reflective coatings or built-in lighting for increased visibility in low-light conditions.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Manual Bollards

Advantages:

• Cost-Effective: Lower upfront and maintenance costs compared to automatic bollards.
• No Power Requirement: Operates without electricity, making it ideal for remote locations.
• Simple Operation: Can be easily deployed and locked into place.
• Durability: Constructed from high-quality materials to withstand harsh weather conditions and impact.
• Customizable: Available in various heights, widths, and finishes to match different security and aesthetic requirements.

Disadvantages:
