“We had 2 telescopic security posts fitted just before Christmas & are so pleased with the whole process. Very professional & clean. Flo was very patient with me asking lots of questions and didn’t pressure us into a decision.”
“Very impressed with the service from this company. Spoke to James on Tuesday and our retractable bollard was installed first thing on Friday. The installer Dean did a very professional job, neat and tidy with no mess and spent time explaining exactly how to use and maintain it.”
“Called James, within a few days they came to install x 2 telescopic bollards. They left everything tidy. Very happy with the service. I would highly recommend the company.”
A gas strut inside the bollard pushes upwards as you lift. Unlock the post and it does most of the work, so raising it takes about the effort of lifting a bag of shopping.
Around 6–7kg, compared with well over 15kg for a large standard telescopic post.
Anyone who uses the drive every day, finds bending and lifting hard, or shares the drive with someone who does. It’s the easy option without the cost or wiring of an automatic bollard.
Keep the sleeve clear of leaves and grit, as with any telescopic bollard. We’ll show you what to look out for at handover.
Lift-assist still means stepping out and lifting the post, just a lot less of it, with no power needed. Automatic does it all from the car, at a higher price.

Yes. It’s a telescopic security bollard, set deep in concrete and locked upright with a key. The gas strut only changes how easy it is to lift.
