RetractaPost-GL 500 - Stainless Steel Bollard
Product Description
RetractaPost-GL 500 - Stainless Steel
The RetractaPost-GL 500 Stainless Steel Bollard provides a compact yet highly effective vehicle access control solution. Designed for modern environments where both practicality and appearance are essential, this retractable bollard combines robust construction with refined aesthetics, ensuring reliable protection and ease of use.
Manufactured from Stainless Steel Grade 304, the GL 500 model offers superior corrosion resistance and long-term durability. Its polished stainless steel finish delivers a professional appearance that enhances driveways, private entrances, and commercial forecourts while resisting rust and weather damage even in demanding environments.
Ease of operation is a key feature of this design. The built-in lift handle allows users to raise and lower the post smoothly without strain, while the retractable design ensures that when not in use, the bollard sits completely flush with the ground. This makes it ideal for areas where accessibility and a neat, unobtrusive finish are important.
The GL 500 model is fitted with a 7-pin push lock mechanism and an internal locking system, both engineered for security and tamper resistance. To lock the post in its upright position, simply lift and press down the central cylinder until it locks into place. To retract, remove the protective cap, insert the key, and rotate the mechanism to release the post, which then slides back into its 815mm concrete-in-ground socket.
The RetractaPost-GL range is approved by Secured by Design and meets Sold Secure standards, demonstrating its proven performance against attack and its compliance with recognised security testing benchmarks. These certifications make it a trusted option for controlling access in both private and commercial environments.
With a visible height of 500mm above ground, this model provides effective deterrence for vehicles while remaining low-profile enough to suit smaller spaces or residential driveways. It is available in 76mm and 90mm diameters, offering flexibility to suit different site requirements and aesthetic preferences.
The RetractaPost-GL 500 Stainless Steel Bollard is an excellent choice for driveways, private car parks, loading bays, or any area where temporary vehicle restriction is required. It combines smooth operation, stylish presentation, and lasting durability, all while requiring minimal maintenance.
