Certified range of high-security bollards developed by Hörmann

The range has been engineered specifically to protect people, buildings and critical infrastructure from unauthorised vehicle access, while in tandem supporting the operational needs of modern public spaces.

Central to the bollards’ suitability for Government and public projects is their compliance with recognised international impact resistance standards. All bollards within the Hörmann high-security line are crash-tested and certified to PAS 68 and IWA 14-1, duly demonstrating proven performance against high-speed vehicle impacts of 30 mph and 50 mph using a 7,200 kg vehicle. This level of certification provides specifiers, planners and security consultants alike with confidence that the products meet the requirements for high-risk and sensitive locations.

In parallel with their certified impact resistance, Hörmann’s bollards are designed to offer flexibility in deployment across a wide range of public spaces and infrastructure projects. Fixed, removable, semi-automatic and fully automatic options provide a balance between permanent protection and the need for controlled access for the Emergency Services, deliveries or temporary events. This adaptability supports effective traffic management without compromising security credentials.

Durability and long-term performance are key considerations, of course, with Hörmann’s bollards being manufactured from corrosion-resistant materials and using robust construction methods, helping to reduce costs through low maintenance requirements and extended service life.

Intelligent control systems

Automatic variants incorporate intelligent control systems and integrated heating, thereby ensuring reliable operation in demanding environmental conditions often encountered in exposed urban locations.

Aesthetics are increasingly important in public sector developments, and particularly so within regeneration schemes and shared public spaces. Hörmann’s bollards are designed to integrate discreetly into the urban landscape, allowing certified security measures to be implemented without detracting from the visual and architectural quality of the surroundings.

Underpinned by decades of experience when it comes to delivering industrial and commercial access solutions, Hörmann UK brings together German engineering expertise and local technical support to meet the complex needs of public sector clients. The company’s certified security bollards are already trusted across Europe, providing local authorities and Government bodies alike with a proven, compliant and future-ready solution for perimeter protection.
