Product Description
RetractaPost-GL 900 With Lift Assist
Engineered for reliability, convenience, and long-term performance, First Fence's RetractaPost-GL 900 with Lift Assist model provides an exceptional solution for securing driveways, private parking areas, and restricted access points. Manufactured from premium materials, this retractable post delivers dependable protection against unauthorised vehicle entry while offering effortless day-to-day operation.
Each post features an integrated lift handle, ensuring smooth and controlled raising and lowering. When fully retracted, the post sits flush with the ground surface, maintaining a clean, unobtrusive appearance and allowing vehicles and pedestrians to pass over safely without obstruction.
The GL 900 Lift Assist model incorporates a high-performance gas spring system, significantly reducing the effort required to raise the post. This makes it ideal for frequent daily use, busy commercial environments, or situations where operators may struggle with heavy manual lifting. The lift assist mechanism provides a balanced, controlled movement that enhances both safety and user comfort.
The RetractaPost-GL 900 With Lift Assist unit is fitted with an innovative internal locking mechanism designed for maximum tamper resistance. Securing the post in its upright position is as simple as lifting it into place and pressing down the central cylinder to engage the lock. When lowering the post, simply remove the protective cap, insert the key, and rotate the post smoothly back into the ground socket.
This intuitive design ensures high security while minimising wear on the locking components, contributing to a longer service life.
With its focus on operational ease, anti-tamper features, and durable construction, the GL Lift Assist range is a reliable choice for residential, commercial, and industrial sites where security and vehicle access control are essential.
