If security of your premises is a number one priority, you have probably considered the possibility of your industrial shutter doors being rammed by a vehicle, so that burglars may gain access to your property. You can use all of the locking mechanisms you like for a roller shutter door but if it can simply be rammed in, what is the point? One additional way to protect your industrial doors from penetration, is through the use of Anti-Ram Bollards. There are many different types and styles that can be used to suit your needs.
Anti-Ram Bollards come in many materials such as steel, concrete or Ferrocast Polyurethane. Whilst the concrete bollards are more permanently fixed, there are many steel versions of bollards that can easily be put up or taken down, as the need arises. This may be handy if you often have to transport large items in and out of your industrial doors, as you would be able to remove the bollards during times of heavy footfall or loading and unloading of goods.
These mobile bollards come in several different styles, such as the telescopic security bollard which can retract down into the ground and be covered with a lid, when not in use. There is also the folding bollard, which simply can fold down to the ground when not needed. Whilst others can simply just be removed when the need arises. These mobile bollards come with anti-tampering mechanisms so as to prevent them from being moved when they shouldn’t be.
So, if you have been considering different ways to better secure your premises and have identified your industrial shutter door to be a possible vulnerability, then it may be wise to consider Anti-Ram Bollards as a possible security solution. These bollards could be the one thing that stands in between your property being burgled or not.
