What are Hydraulic Retractable Bollards HRB-PROTECTOR by Optima?

Hydraulic retractable bollards from the Optima HRB-PROTECTOR series have been crash tested and are specifically made for entrances with very high-security needs. In addition to limiting vehicle access in high-security applications, if large-tonnage trucks travelling at high speeds pose a threat, vehicles beyond the bollards are entirely destroyed, making it impossible for the vehicle to continue going ahead.
 
Bollards of the Optima crash-tested Protector Series are made to meet ASTM F2656M-15 crash standards (equivalent to PAS68, K12). The actual test was completely successful, and the product has received ASTM F2656M-15 certification (grade P1, zero penetration). The Optima HRB-PROTECTOR bollard continued to function even after the collision.
 
The hydraulic drive unit may be operated manually using hand pumps to lower or raise the hydraulic bollard in the event of a power outage. Every type of card reader, biometric reader (such as fingerprint or hand shape), radio control, on/off key switch, etc. may all perform the raise/lower function with the aid of PLC-controlled electronics. Additionally, the system can incorporate safety add-ons such as photocells, inductive loop detectors, flashing lights, or red/green lights.
