Retractable and Automatic Bollards in Johannesburg
Want retractable bollards in Johannesburg? Say how wide the opening is, how often vehicles pass, whether you want automatic or semi-automatic posts, how they should be controlled and whether power and a drain are close. Installers serving Johannesburg can then quote and look at the site.
The main retractable bollards page explains the types, the fixing and the costs in more detail.
Johannesburg notes on security & access
Ram raids on shopping centres, cellphone shops and ATMs keep security bollards in demand from Northcliff to the south. Ask what a post is built to stop, because a hollow tube bolted into paving only deters. Townhouse complexes in Fourways and Melville often fit removable posts at a second gate, and warehouses in City Deep and Wynberg want yellow steel posts at dock doors and racking ends to keep forklifts and trucks off the walls.
Sites and streets in Johannesburg
In Johannesburg the bollard question is usually about the sidewalk. Minibus taxis pulling onto pavements around the CBD ranks, delivery trucks mounting kerbs in Marshalltown and Braamfontein, and cars parked across shop entrances in Soweto and along Louis Botha Avenue all push owners and the city towards rows of posts. Shopping centres and cash handling sites deal with ram raids, while townhouse complexes from Fourways to the south want boom gates and humps. Steel fabricators and precast suppliers sit in City Deep, Industria, Denver and Wynberg, close to the M1, M2 and N12. Under old CBD paving there are cables, fibre and water mains nobody has drawn properly, so ask about a cable locator and a municipal wayleave before anyone breaks ground.
Typical retractable bollards requests in the area come from:
- Shops, malls and petrol stations: delivery lanes behind a mall that open for trucks and close after hours
- Estates, complexes and body corporates: automatic posts beside a boom gate or across an emergency access road
- Offices, hotels and car parks: secure executive parking and office park lanes opened by access card
Local tips for Johannesburg
Suppliers serving Johannesburg mostly work from here: city Deep, Industria, Denver and Wynberg, with yards along the M1 and N12. The jobs that come up most: sidewalk and taxi rank bollards, ram raid posts for shops, complex boom gates. When you ask for quotes, ask who arranges the wayleave and the service scan before sidewalk work starts.
Retractable and Automatic Bollards usually suit gates, delivery lanes and pedestrian streets. The fixing: post in a steel housing in a drained pit. For shops, malls and petrol stations, the biggest group here, that usually means delivery lanes behind a mall that open for trucks and close after hours. On the ground and weather: summer storms and hail from October to March; rocky ridges in the north and west.
