Energy Absorbing BollardsEnergy Absorbing Bollards (EABs) are designed to save lives. They are used to prevent vehicles entering into 'no go' zones without restricting pedestrian access. The EABs are ideal for outdoor dining areas, highly populated pedestrian areas, footpaths, shared paths and other public spaces.
EABs can be used to protect high value assets, government buildings, airports and other commercial premises by preventing unauthorised vehicular access and provide protection against ram raids or out of control vehicles.

• Significantly reduce injuries and risk of fatalities
• Protect and define valuable or high density areas
• Ideal for limited space applications
• Cost-effective compared to other crash rated solutions
• Coloured, removable & retractable options also available
• Simple and easy to install
Features & Benefits
Energy Absorbing Bollards comply to test criteria AS/NZS 3845:1999. They are classified as a non re-directive crash attenuator, engineered to arrest a 1600kg errant motor vehicle travelling at 60 kph. The patented CARTRIDGE absorbs energy, safely decelerating the vehicle and thus protecting the occupants, your asset or potentially your life.
How do EABs work?

Impact AnalysisVehicle Frontal Impact into a Non-Deforming Barrier/BollardWhen a vehicle is involved in a collision with a solid object, like a Power Pole or Non-Deforming Bollard, the vehicle’s rear axle lifts, while the front axle gets pushed down due to the inertial forces and position of the centre of gravity of the vehicle. Due to this rotation the front vehicle passengers get “pushed” towards the steering wheel and the dashboard, which often results in severe head and neck injuries or fatality.
Vehicle Frontal Impact into a Energy Absorbing Bollard (EAB)The frontal impact kinematics into an Energy Absorbing Bollard EAB is quite different from the kinematics of the vehicle impacting a solid barrier or another vehicle. The vehicle’s front axle lifts up following the deformation of the EAB. Due to this rotation the front vehicle passengers get “lifted” up and pushed away from the steering wheel and the dashboard. This will significantly reduce their injuries and risk of fatality.
