At some sites it is impractical to haul around bollards and posts once they are removed, it is also not ideal to leave them laying over in a fold-down format. For these instances, the RetractaPost is the ideal solution.
This post is commonly seen in vehicle sales forecourts, commercial premises car parks and even domestic driveways and private properties. When the bollard is in the down position it is covered by a small cover.
Once in the raised position, the bollard stands at 745mm tall above ground level. The post has a convenient grab handle on the top for ease of lifting. There are several heights of retractaPost to choose from including 500mm, 745mm and 900mm. Each post is also available in different diameters. An option with an integral lock is available to purchase for those that require it.
To erect the post simply lift the lid on the post cover. The grab handle on the top of the post will now be visible. Lift the post to its full height (745mm above ground) and rotate it 45 degrees, this latches the post in the upright position. A padlock (purchased separately) can then be used to secure the post in the upright position.
Lowering the post is the reverse of this process.
This is a simple procedure but requires a deeper excavation than the other parking posts and security bollards that we offer.
Full detailed install instructions are available for download below. It is recommended that these are read fully before purchasing and then again before installation.
The RetractaPost product range has several key options to choose from, these include material, finish, locking method, post diameter and height.
These posts come in three heights, 500mm, 745mm and 900mm. This is measured from floor level to the top of the post when fully extended. This measurement can be seen in the diagram above.
This is the cross section measurement of the tube that makes up the post. The common sizes are 60mm, 76mm, 90mm, 101mm, 114mm, 139mm and 168mm. The larger diameters are only available in the taller post options.
There are three finishes to choose from when purchasing these posts. Galvanised Mild Steel, Stainless steel and paint over galvanised mild steel. All of these options have fantastic corrosion resistance.
If you are looking for an integral lock then the “GL” retract posts come with an integral locking system. Models with a built-in lock also include a lifting assist system due to the extra weight of the bollard.
