SlowStop Guarding Systems is a revolutionary steel bollard system that absorbs energy from impacts to reduce damage to vehicles, assets, and personnel. While maintaining the same benefits as traditional rigid bollards, the SlowStop bollard along with its line of guarding systems, adds unsurpassable amounts of strength and durability than any adversary. During a collision, the kinetic energy of the impact is progressively absorbed by an elastomer hidden in the base of the bollard. The post is able to tilt approximately 20° as it progressively absorbs energy, greatly dampening any impact. After impact, the post returns upright, leaving the guard and your foundation intact and ready to perform again.
