Explore our extensive range of rising bollards.

We are known for having ‘strength in depth’ when it comes to being part of a group of companies and today, we review some products from RISE.  The demand for automatic bollards is rapidly increasing and with RISE, we have an extensive range of automatic bollards, suitable for both residential and commercial environments. 

We have automatic, semi-automatic, and fixed bollards, all of which are designed to provide maximum security and protection, whilst controlling access. Depending on the specific environment and requirements, bollards can be used to protect and safeguard vehicles, properties, and people. 

We stock both electromechanical and hydraulic automatic rising bollards under our Vigilant, Force, and Hydra ranges, all designed and produced to the highest quality standards.  

Our VIGILANT range of automatic electromechanical bollards run off a very low power consumption but are capable of a high number of cycles. With the optional extra of battery back-up within the panel, you can operate the Vigilant range even in the event of a power failure.  

These bollards are fast and easy to install compared to other competitor options on the market, due to the foundation box that can be assembled on-site without welding. The VIGILANT, FORCE and HDRA are available in two finishes, including powder coated steel or stainless steel finish, and come in two different heights, 500mm and 800mm. 

Most recently, we have expanded our bollard range to include the brand new Maximum M30 crash-rated bollard. Capable of withstanding the impact of a vehicle of 7,500kg, launched at a speed of 48 km/h, the Maximum M30 has secured outstanding certifications. This bollard is ideally suited for high security and sensitive locations. To find out more detail about the impressive Maximum M30 bollard, please click here.

If you would like to find out any more information around our range of bollards or want to discuss the right bollard for your exact requirements. You can reach us on 01488 658 276.

Make way for the all-new RISE MAXIMUM M30 automatic bollard.

The MAXIMUM M30 automatic bollard is the newest addition to join the RISE offering and has officially arrived here at Benincà UK. 

Capable of stopping a truck weighing 7,500 kg whilst moving at a speed of 48 km/h, it has secured several noteworthy certificates. With a bollard diameter of 275mm and a height of 900mm, alongside the substantial foundations, it really does look the part in our trade counter. With an E.F.O (Emergency Fast Operation) emergency function, it is capable of a rapid rise of 1.5 seconds. 

All of the above makes the MAXIMUM M30 the ideal choice for environments requiring a high level of security, such as military bases, police stations, and any other sites of a sensitive nature. 

 

 

The MAXIMUM M30 has obtained certifications IWA 14-1, PAS68 and ASTM2656, with a relative dynamic penetration value P of -0.8 m. Specification sheets often refer to a penetration grade P1, which according to ASTM is obtained when the truck bed does not pass beyond the bollard by a maximum distance of 1 metre. The negative penetration value obtained by the MAXIMUM M30 (-0.8 m) indicates that the truck bed stopped 0.8 m in front of the bollard, thus achieving an even more high-performance result.  

The foundation bore is compliant with standard EN124 (40T) and the positioning of the hydraulic pump, independent for each bollard and positioned laterally, facilitates maintenance operations as well as preventing damage in the event of an impact. The control centre allows the management of up to 2 bollards contemporaneously. Blocking the bollard in the risen position is guaranteed even in the absence of an electric current (with the ability to manually unblock).

Beninca UK supports Mental Health Awareness Week 2021

This week is Mental Health Awareness Week and with our chosen charity for the year being Mind, we are proactively encouraging our team here at Benincà UK to openly discuss their mental health and speak out about how they are feeling. 

The past year has been extremely tough on everyone and with the increased stress and worries, it’s had a huge impact on our mental health. We are passionate about raising awareness and supporting good mental health for all. 

Collectively we can all fight for better mental health and help create a movement for positive change! 

With the theme for Mental Health Awareness Week being ‘Nature’ we are encouraging the team here at Benincà UK to get outside and simply enjoy getting back in touch with nature. We plan to share some photos taken by the team throughout the week via our social channels, with the hope they may inspire others to take a break, step back for a few minutes, and ultimately help improve your mental health and wellbeing. 

For more information about this year’s Mental Health Awareness Week, please visit mentalhealth.org.uk 

For anyone in need of help and support, we would encourage you to visit Mind’s website, mind.org.uk, or you can call on 0300 123 3393 or email info@mind.org.uk.

BULL TURBO: The perfect combination of speed and safety.

Did You Know? Our BULL TURBO can store up to 512 transmitters within the onboard receiver instead of the standard 64 available on most onboard receivers. This avoids the need of adding any additional receivers on large housing developments or commercial units and means you can utilise the additional functions that come with an onboard receiver.  

Our turbo range of operators are fast with a 24 VDC geared motor, making them ideal for intensive use. We have two models available, including the BULL 624 turbo and BULL 1224 turbo. 

 

BULL 624 TURBO Sliding Gate Motor

  • Capable of sliding gates up to a weight of 600KG. 
  • Maximum performance and speed (25.5 m/min with 600 kg) 
  • The main control unit is located on the top part of the motor, making the cables easily accessible for more comfortable wiring and programming. 
  • Equipped with a virtual encoder, which allows proper management of the slowing-down phases, movement tracking (STC system), and torque management in relation to the position of the gate, guaranteeing maximum safety. 
  • Anti-crushing system with amperometric obstacle detection. 
  • With a convenient compartment within the motor housing for 2x additional 12v batteries (2.1Ah DABT2) for battery backup.
