Automatic bollards

Automatic bollards are retractable hydraulic posts that rise from the road surface on command and block vehicle access without a barrier arm or gate. Unlike semi-automatic bollards, they do not need to be locked in position by hand: they run on mains power and are controlled from a remote or an access control system.

How to choose automatic bollards

• Protection level. TiSO RB343, FAAC J200 HA and J275 HA V2 control everyday access. Anti-ram TiSO ASTM M30 and M50, FAAC J275 HA 2K20 and FAAC JS stop a truck at 48, 50 or 80 km/h, depending on the model.
• Rise height. 600–800 mm for parking models, 800–1200 mm for anti-ram models.
• Duty. TiSO RB343 and FAAC J200 HA are rated for medium duty; FAAC J275 HA V2 is built for intensive traffic.
• Speed. Rising takes from 4 s (TiSO ASTM) to 9 s (TiSO RB343, 800 mm); lowering from ~2 s on FAAC JS to 8 s.
• Power and drive. TiSO RB343 and FAAC J200 and J275 series run on 230 V. TiSO ASTM run on 400 V with the hydraulic unit in a separate cabinet.
• Climate. Without heating, TiSO RB343 operates from −10 °C and FAAC from −15 °C. With the heating system, TiSO and FAAC JS operate down to −40 °C.

Model comparison

• TiSO RB343 / RB349 — 600 or 800 mm height, 114–273 mm diameter, 7–9 s rise, 330 W. Built-in hydraulic unit, 15 t axle load.
• FAAC J200 HA — 600 mm height, 200 mm diameter, 5 s rise, 230 W. For residential sites; the foundation box is concreted straight into the pit, no inspection well needed.
• FAAC J275 HA V2 — 600 or 800 mm height, 275 mm diameter, ~5–7 s rise, 575 W. Supplied with a sound device and an LED light ring.
• FAAC J275 HA 2K20 — 800 mm height, 275 mm diameter, ~8 s rise, 575 W. A single bollard is crash-tested against a 7500 kg truck at 48 km/h; a pair is rated M30.
• TiSO ASTM M30 (RB348) and M50 (RB342) — 1000 and 1200 mm height, 325 mm diameter, 4 s rise, 5.5 kW. They stop a 6800 kg truck at 50 and 80 km/h respectively (ASTM F2656-07).
• FAAC JS 48 HA and JS 80 HA — 1000 mm height, 275 mm diameter, ~6 s rise, 3500 W. They remain operational after a truck impact at 48 and 80 km/h.

Applications

They are installed at entrances to residential courtyards, closed sites, service roads and car parks, and in retail and industrial areas. Anti-ram models protect the perimeter of military infrastructure, government buildings, stadiums and exhibition grounds.

FAQ

How much does an automatic bollard cost?

All models in this section are priced on request; the price depends on the model, height, cylinder material, number of bollards and foundation works. Send us your entrance layout and we will quote for your project.

Automatic or semi-automatic bollards: which to choose?

Choose automatic hydraulic bollards where the entrance opens often and 230 V or 400 V power is available. Semi-automatic bollards are locked in position by hand; TiSO RB343-60 and FAAC J275 SA suit sites where no power supply can be brought in.

What happens to the bollard during a power cut?

It depends on the model: FAAC J275 HA V2 lowers automatically when power is lost, while J200 HA has emergency lowering and a hydraulic lock in the raised position released with a special key.
