BFT Bollard Questionnaire

Are you considering bollards for parking or security purposes? While BFT Gate Openers has a collection of bollards, choosing the best bollard for your application may not be easy. We have compiled a list of questions to consider before purchasing a BFT bollard. If you navigate our website or talk to a friendly sales representative, this questionnaire will guide you to the perfect bollard.

Bollard Questionnaire

• What is the goal or use of the bollards?
• Are crash ratings important?
• What is the distance that you want to protect? And do you have a drawing you can share?
• Do you prefer stainless steel (Marine Grade 316) or RAL coating (Blue Grey 7015)?
• Do you want lights on the top rim of the bollard?
• Is there 230V single-phase power at the site?
• Do you want the bollards to remain down or upright on power failure?
• Is it a high-traffic area? In some cases, a stop light or automatic traffic barrier is suggested to be integrated to protect the bollard. For example, as it is lowered, a vehicle can proceed before the bollard is entirely down.
• What is the distance from where the control board will be to the bollards?
• What is the project's ETA, and when can we expect a PO?

Please consider these questions when searching for bollards. These questions will save you time during the purchasing process and in the long term, as your bollard or bollards will be better suited for its application.
