Heald Raptor is a shallow-mounted, retractable HVM crash-rated bollard system designed for high-security vehicle access control. Made for protection of people, infrastructure, and underground services, it combines the security of a road blocker with the flexibility of a bollard. Triple tested to PAS68 and ASTM standards, Raptor withstands 7.5 tonne vehicle impacts at 80kph and remains operational after impact. Three operational variants—hydraulic, electromechanical, and manual—support a range of site needs and installation conditions.

  • Shallow-mount retractable bollard system for high-security vehicle access control
  • Tested to PAS68 and ASTM standards, halting a 7.5 tonne truck at 80kph
  • Remains operational after impact, maintaining emergency access
  • Foundation depth from 480mm, suitable for sites with underground services
  • Electromechanical and manual variants support sustainability and remote locations
  • Patent protected design with internal reinforcement for enhanced resistance
  • Flush-to-ground retraction eliminates trip and trap hazards
  • Low maintenance requirements and easy replacement of serviceable parts

Applications

  • Perimeter security for high-risk sites
  • Protection of critical infrastructure
  • Urban environments with limited foundation depth
  • Locations with underground services
  • Remote or off-grid sites
  • Areas requiring emergency vehicle access
