Heald continues to create innovative security as the new HT1-Evolution bollard demonstrates.

The Evolution bollard is IWA crash tested and can be powered by an electro-mechanical motor or by manual operation. The one metre bollard requires an excavation of just 1.1 metres but is strong enough to stop a 7.2 tonne truck travelling at 64 kph (40 mph) with zero penetration – and continue working afterwards. 

The sleek design features no trip or trap hazards, making it extremely safe for members of the public. Easily operated in a variety of methods - manually/battery drill/electro mechanically operated/hydraulically operated – You choose the method. All of these options are available with the new Heald Crash Tested Evolution Bollard. 

Where automatic operation is required the Evolution bollard is available with a variety of access control options, it can also be operated with an EFO (Emergency Fast Operation) where required.

The Evolution bollard is also available with a range of sleek covers and can also be supplied with granite or stone inset in the base plate to enable integration with any surroundings.

In crash tests, all of Heald's automated roadblockers and bollards continue to function after impact thus ensuring ongoing protection, even before any repairs to sacrificial parts, thanks to Heald's world-leading design and manufacturing.
