Bollards for car parking are an essential addition to your parking lot when you want to avoid problems with congestion, and badly parked cars. Bollards can be used at the entrance to your car park to stop unwanted traffic entering, or they can be used in individual parking bays to ensure only one person can park their car in each specified place. Below is a look at the different types of bollards, their uses, and why you should have them installed at your commercial premise.
Bollards for Car Parking : Entrance Bollards
A great way to ensure that only certain people can use your car park is by introducing bollards at the entrance of your parking lot. These bollards can be removable bollards that are introduced overnight and removed in the morning, of they can be automatic bollards. Using automatic bollards is the most effective solution to your parking problems.
Automatic bollards will retract when they are activated by a remote control or fob. Alternatively they can be activated by a parking warden in the same way a parking barrier can be. However, to cut back on costs, remote controlled bollards are the best solution. When you have a car park, there is always the danger that someone will try and use it who does not work with you, and who is not visiting you. To stop people taking advantage of your car park, supply your workforce with remote controls that will lowers the bollards at the push of a button. You may also like to have control over your bollards from a remote access point. This is a handy solution when you are expecting visitors who do not have a remote control fob.
Bollards for Car Parking : Parking Bays
Bollards are also used in individual bays within car parks. You may have noticed these when you use a car park that is for combined public and private use. Private bays will have bollards in place to stop other people using them. In your own car park you can easily introduce this system, each of your regular members of staff having their own designated parking place with retractable bollard.
Parking bay bollards will put a stop to people fighting over parking places, and will ensure you know exactly who is using your car parking facility. These bollards can be automated, or they can be operated with a key that is given to each staff member. When your car park is small, you cannot afford for people who are unauthorised to use your facility. Within your car park you can select a designated area that is for visitors only, this area being free from bollards.
To ensure that your car park is free from congestion and parking problems, you may like to combine the use of bollards with other safety features. These can include automatic gates, car parking barriers, and CCTV controlled security features. Ensuring the security of your business premise is extremely important, and your car park is an excellent place to start updating your current system.
