Removable Bollard Mounting Options
For locations where change of access is needed, Reliance Foundry offers a range of removable bollard options.
Removable Bollards are used to divert traffic, prevent access, and define access routes or roadways. They provide protection to critical infrastructures while still maintaining pedestrian freedom. Reliance Foundry's removable Bollards are intended for applications where frequent or quick removal of the Bollard is necessary, and where architectural integrity must be maintained.
The R-7901 Removable Bollard consists of a permanently installed receiver (aka "mount" or "sleeve") that is installed below grade to hold the Bollard post, with the top being flush with the pavement.
The receiver that holds the bollard is equipped with a hinged lid that provides dual function; when the Bollard is in place, the lid serves as a hasp to accept a padlock and secure the post; when the bollard is removed, the lid lies flush with the surrounding pavement to eliminate tripping hazards.
The Removable Bollard post can be manually lifted out of the receiver to allow access. It includes an exposed locking mechanism using a hinged, flip-up hole cover to prevent unauthorized removal.
Reliance Foundry's R-7901 "Emergency Access" Removable Bollard will soon be available from stock in Stainless Steel.
Example of the R-7901 with removable bollard mounting option
The R-7902 "Light-Duty" Removable Bollard consists of a permanently installed receiver (aka "mount" or "sleeve") that is installed below grade to hold the Bollard post, and a chain is attached for locking the removable Bollard into place.
When access is needed into an area that is protected by the Bollard, simply unlock the chain, and lift the Bollard out of it's receiver. Replace the Bollard in its receiver to reinstate the protective barrier.
As with all of our Bollards, our Model No. R-7902 Removable Bollards are powder coated for the elements, and can be brightly colored (white, yellow, red) for high visibility if desired.
Reliance Foundry's R-7902 "Quick Removable" Bollard will soon be available from stock in Stainless Steel.
Optional Universal Removable Bollard Mounting Kit
Reliance Foundry has a Universal Removable Bollard Mounting kit available for most of our Bollard models. The kit allows for the installation of our Bollards with readily removable mounting, and allows use of a lock to help ensure unauthorized persons do not remove the Bollards.
Our standard mounting does allow for removal of our Bollards from their mountings (using hand tools), but not as readily as with our Universal Removable Mounting kit.
This Universal Removable Mounting System is designed for quick removal of our Bollards, and can easily be converted to our standard mounting option if field service requirements change.
The Universal Removable Mounting System requires the operator to pull a pin from the base of the Bollard before it is removed from its mounting. Once the bollard is removed, the mounting bracket can also be easily removed, to eliminate any potential tripping hazard. Our customers often prefer the bollard in aluminum (if available for the particular model) as aluminum is much lighter for easy removal.
Please note that in order to allow for a quickly removable pin, Bollards installed with this removable mounting kit will not sit as tight against the grade as they would with a permanently mounted bollard. This play is by design, and is minimized by our new cam-lock removable mount design
