Removable Post/Bollard Socket Galvanised

The Additional Ground Base for Removable Security Posts/Bollards & Padlocks is a functional and secure solution for safely storing the post when not deployed. The design focuses on ensuring convenience, protection from debris, and pedestrian safety.

Removable Post Bollard Socket Specifications:

1. Hinged Lid Design:

   • Full Coverage: The hinged lid completely covers the storage hole when the bollard or post is removed, providing a seamless appearance and protection from debris.
   • Safety: A flush-fitting design eliminates any protrusions or edges, significantly reducing trip hazards for pedestrians.
   • Smooth Operation: The hinge should allow smooth opening and closing, making it easy to access and store the post.

2. Debris Prevention:

   • Sealed Lid: The lid should have a rubber or gasket lining to ensure that dirt, leaves, or other debris does not fall into the storage hole, keeping it clear and minimizing maintenance.
   • Weather Resistance: The materials should be resistant to water, corrosion, and UV rays to maintain long-term durability in outdoor environments.

3. Durable Construction:

   • Material: Made from sturdy materials such as galvanized steel or heavy-duty cast iron for strength and durability.
   • Load-bearing Capacity: The lid should be designed to support pedestrian or even light vehicle traffic when closed, maintaining its structural integrity over time.

4. Locking Mechanism (Optional):

   • Secured Lid: Optionally, a locking mechanism can be incorporated to prevent unauthorized access to the storage hole, ensuring only authorized personnel can remove or replace the bollard.

5. Customizable Size and Shape:

   • The base should be available in various sizes to accommodate different types of security posts or bollards, ensuring a proper fit for a variety of removable post designs.

6. Drainage System:

   • Water Drainage: Incorporating a small drainage outlet in the base will prevent the buildup of water in the storage hole, reducing the risk of corrosion or freezing in colder climates.

Key Benefits of our Bollard Sockets:

• Convenient Storage: Simplifies the process of removing and storing bollards when not in use, improving operational efficiency.
• Enhanced Safety: Minimizes the risk of tripping over the hole with a flush lid, while also preventing debris from clogging the storage space.
• Durability: Built to withstand the elements and regular use in both urban and industrial environments.

This ground base can be installed in car parks, private properties, or public spaces where removable security posts are needed for flexible access control.
