Bell® Traffic Bollard

A solution to potential vehicle damage and costly repair caused by errand vehicles.

Following an extensive study of lorry wheels and undercarriages, a design was created to enable the deflection of vehicle wheels, whilst itself remaining firmly in place and undamaged. The bollard profile is designed to encourage vehicle tyres to initially mount its lower curve. By increasing the slope-angle of the bollard above this point, any attempt by the vehicle to rise further is prevented by deflecting the tyre sharply away.

Bell bollards can provide a stable vehicular barrier, as high-axled lorries would not be able to drive over an obstruction of this height, without causing irreparable damage to its drive train and steering mechanisms. Positioned and aligned at appropriate distances across the road, Bell Bollards can also act as effective width restrictors, preventing oversize vehicles from passing through.

Features and benefits:

• Proven to last for over 25 years.
• Saves money through long term savings on replacement street furniture and building repairs.
• Up to 360° deflection of vehicles with minimal risk of vehicle damage.
• Furnitubes are the only manufacturers of the Bell bollard in the UK.
• Four versions of the Bell to solve any traffic management problem.

Variations:

• The BELL 100 the original, full Bell Bollard. Ideal for: Open sites where there are no below-ground obstructions
• BELL 150 has been designed to allow the installation of a Bell bollard and a 150 mm diameter post or bollard within the same footings. The combination will deflect vehicles and protect structures from damage, whilst also acting as a high visibility post.
• BELL 120 is suitable for protecting the sides of structures. The shape is the same as a standard Bell, but with a segment removed to allow for easy installation without having to disturb the fabric of existing structures.
