2265 Heald’s new HT2-Matador surface mount sliding bollard was recently tested with a 7.2 tonne vehicle travelling at 64 kph, with the impact resulting in zero penetration past the bollards. The bollard also remained fully operational following the test, with no repairs needed. Matador can be specified to work in a variety of ways; using either electro-hydraulic, electro-mechanical or even manual operation. It can also be supplied with an EFO (emergency fast operation) feature, enabling the moving bollard to close in around 1.5 seconds in an emergency. It also features a special mechanism to secure the central bollard in the locked position, ensuring that it cannot be moved or pushed open. The new bollard is available with Heald’s Hydra control and monitoring system and can either be surface mounted or it can be installed flush with the road with a depth of only 115 mm, making it suitable for short term, temporary or permanent installations.
