Manual assisted bollards are a variation of the standard manual bollard that features an integrated lifting system, which makes the raising and lowering process much easier. These bollards typically rely on the turning of a key to activate the lifting and lowering mechanism. Manual assisted bollards are a good choice for high-security applications that require bollards, as they alleviate the physical burden on your workers.

What Are the Benefits of Stainless Steel Bollards?

Stainless steel is one of the more popular materials used in the bollard manufacturing process. Although stainless steel usually includes a higher price point than other materials such as steel or aluminum, it can be more cost-effective over the long term. A stainless steel bollard offers superior resistance to corrosion, making it the ideal choice for outdoor use in wet or humid climates. Stainless steel is also easy to clean, which will help you maintain the bollard’s attractive appearance.

What’s more, a stainless steel bollard will resist heat and chemical damage and requires little preventive maintenance. The low ownership costs will allow you to receive an excellent return on your investment.
