Stealth Parking Post - Flush Fold Parking Post - Autopa

The stealth parking post is the ideal solution for protecting parking areas or restricting access in areas that have a high amount of foot traffic. Using a similar mechanism to their tried and tested standard parking post, the stealth post takes things a step further and drops completely flush to the ground when folded away. This minimizes any potential trip risks and consequently any potential legal action that may follow after a fall.

These are perfect for using to reserve car parking spaces at a business or private driveway. When in the down position they are far less visually intrusive than the standard fold-down post making them ideal for premium home installations. They are not suitable for HGV traffic or areas with high vehicle traffic.

Ultra simple to operate these posts are very reliable and easy to use. The post stands 660mm above ground level when upright. When stored in the down position the entire post and “coffin” assembly sits level with the ground, covered by a checker plate lid.

How Do You Install An Autopa Stealth Post?

Installation is very simple, after putting on the appropriate PPE equipment;

1. Mark out where the posts are required – We recommend spacing them no further than 1200mm apart, or from an obstacle. This prevents vehicles driving between them.
2. Excavate a small trench approximately 100mm deep, 1200mm long, and 400mm wide.
3. Place a small amount of concrete into the hole until the top of the unit sits 2-3mm above the surrounding ground.
4. Add more concrete around the outside of the unit up to ground level. IMPORTANT, at this point ensure that there is no ingress of concrete into the recess on the box plate, or hinge assembly.
5. Allow cement to dry then test the posts function.

Any cement, gravel or debris inside the box may hinder the function of the post so should be cleared away.
