Avon SB970CR Scimitar Active Anti Terrorist Bollards are automatic impact tested retractable bollards providing a high level of security against unauthorised vehicle access without the need for an outwardly aggressive appearance.
The automatic retractable bollards are anti-terrorist bollards designed to withstand direct impact forces in excess of 1,800 KJ, the anti-ram retractable bollard provides protection from extreme Vehicle Borne Improvised Explosive Device (VBIED) attack to sites where aesthetics are a consideration.

The anti-terrorist bollards are designed and manufactured by engineers with significant experience in the fields of High Security and Access Control, the SB970CR bollard is a highly dependable security and yet unobtrusive product that will easily interface with a wide range of control equipment.
The automatic retractable bollards are assembled in our fabrication facilities using heavy gauge materials to give maximum strength and durability. This makes SB970CR retractable bollards an ideal product to provide low profile yet fully effective protection for high security establishments, iconic buildings and critical infrastructure.
SB970CR retractable bollards have been independently physically tested in a number of full scale crash tests conducted in accordance with PAS 68 by the Transport Research Laboratory (TRL) both as a single unit and dual arrangement - two bollards installed at a distance of 1.5m from centre to centre of each bollard.

SB970CR retractable bollards are an Electro-Hydraulically operated bollard system with a 1000mm height when fully raised. The bollards are comprised of a static sub-surface mounting tube and impact tube. Raised/Lowered back indication signalling can be provided to enable remote monitoring of the bollard status on a real time basis (optional).
The hydraulic power pack is controlled by a programmable logic controller (PLC) enabling connection of virtually any access control to the bollard. In addition, the HPU can provide outputs for a number of bollards for simultaneous operation. In the event of power failure a manual pump is provided to ensure operator control is maintained.
