Fixed Steel Bollards for Permanent Vehicle Control

A steel bollard is a metal post fixed at points vehicles must not cross, such as pavements, pedestrian areas, building entrances and parking boundaries. Unlike plastic delineators, steel bollards cannot be lifted away, flattened or knocked over, which makes them the choice for permanently stopping cars from mounting the kerb or entering car parks and residential sites without permission. Ilgi Trafik manufactures its steel bollards at its factory in Akyurt, Ankara.

Types of Steel Bollards

• Fixed metal delineators: heights from 40 cm to 120 cm with Ø60, Ø76, Ø89 and Ø114 mm tube options.
• Embedded bollards: set into concrete for high-impact locations such as kerbs and the front of columns.
• Kerb bollards: 45 to 100 cm posts that stop vehicles parking on pavements, plus a 114 mm heavy-duty bollard where trucks pass.
• Stainless steel bollards: Ø76 mm, 2 mm wall, 50, 60 and 100 cm high, a clean-looking option for building frontages and public spaces.
• Special models: spring-loaded steel bollards, chain-ready guidance posts and a wheeled portable barrier for fuel stations.

This category also includes some lockable removable posts and fold-down barriers. If you want to protect a parking space that only you can open, see the full range in Lockable Parking Barriers.

Selection and Installation Tips

Larger tube diameters and thicker walls mean higher impact resistance, so Ø89 or Ø114 mm models suit heavy traffic. Choose a height drivers can clearly see; very low posts can disappear below a bumper. Embedded models are set in concrete, while base-plate models are fixed with anchors and screws. Leave enough space between bollards for pedestrians, wheelchairs and pushchairs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a difference between a steel bollard and a metal delineator? No. Both terms describe metal posts fixed to the ground to stop vehicles passing.

Should I choose stainless steel or painted steel? Stainless bollards offer a clean, unpainted look for building frontages and squares. Painted steel bollards, with bright colours and reflective bands, stand out more in car parks and on pavements.
