Crash Rated Rising Bollard – CSG 11840


The CSG 11840 is the first crash tested, hydraulically operated bollard manufactured by Cova Security Gates.

A flexible bollard alternative to a static bollard where access is required, but crash tested for added security from a counter attack. Available as standard in a number of durable finishes to any standard RAL No, or with an optional selection of sleeves to suit the environment or location.

A unique safety feature available is the pressure sensor facility. This will detect any obstruction on the rise cycle to stop and reverse the bollard on contact. All sub-surface bollard components are easily accessed from above so that installation or routine maintenance can be safely carried out on the road surface.

The bollard has been crash tested with an allowance for 100mm of topping below finished level which is a unique feature and provides a neat finish to the final surface. The ground socket for this product withstood two crash tests. This would enable a replacement bollard to be installed quickly following a hostile attack, securing the site again against a secondary attack.

Available in a number of durable standard finishes, to any RAL No. or can be sleeved to suit the environment and location.

Ideal for protecting entrances and perimeters for retail sites, train stations, hotels, commercial warehouses, embassies, bus stations, ports, oil & gas refineries & military installations.

This automatic rising bollard passed the PAS68:2010 vehicle impact test with the following result:

PAS68:2010 Rating: V/7500[N2]/64/90:1.0/19.4
CWA 16221 Rating: V[N2]7500/64/90:1.0/19.4


The ground socket itself withstood two crash tests, enabling a new replacement rising bollard to be installed quickly following a hostile attack. This would mean that the site could be secure again from a secondary attack within hours.
