Security Bollards

When you need to physically stop a vehicle from reaching your property, a security bollard is the most reliable line of defence. National Bollards supplies and installs heavy-duty removable bollards designed to protect shopfronts, warehouses, loading docks and commercial assets across Melbourne and beyond.

What Makes a Bollard a "Security" Bollard?

A security bollard is built for serious impact resistance rather than just visual traffic guidance. Our 114mm Platinum Removable Bollard is manufactured from robust steel and is widely used to protect cars, caravans and valuable assets, secure warehouse roller doors and factory access points, and deter ram raids and opportunistic theft. It locks in place with a secure key-lock system, so it stays put as a physical barrier until you choose to remove it.

Where Security Bollards Are Used

• Shopfronts and retail entrances vulnerable to ram-raid or vehicle-based break-ins
• Warehouse roller doors and factory access points outside of trading hours
• Loading docks, laneways and rear access points that need to open occasionally
• Driveways and private car parks protecting vehicles and equipment

Our Security Bollard Range

We offer three security bollard options depending on your risk level and budget:

• 114mm Platinum Removable Bollard - one of our best-selling removable security bollards, engineered for serious impact resistance against vehicle strikes and forced entry attempts. Includes a floor-mounted storage holder and premium finish options.
• 90mm removable bollards - a strong, cost-effective option with 5mm solid steel walls, available in galvanised or stainless steel with Class 1 reflective bands for visibility.
• Stainless steel removable bollards - premium corrosion resistance for high-visibility commercial frontages.

Every bollard locks with a secure key mechanism (keys can be supplied keyed alike) and features a flush cover plate so the sleeve stays safe and level when the bollard is removed. Browse the range in our Commercial Bollards collection or view our dedicated Removable Bollards page.

Installation & Supply

Security bollards work best when installed correctly. We recommend an in-ground sleeve, core-drilled or set into concrete, for maximum resistance to impact. National Bollards offers full supply and installation services, or you can purchase supply-only for your own installer. For a shopfront, set posts 1.2m to 1.5m apart and back from the glass, and keep at least 1000mm clear where people walk through. Our bollard spacing and height guide covers the figures for car parks, roller doors and walkways. Get in touch to discuss the right layout for your entrance or access point.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will a security bollard stop a vehicle ram-raid attempt?

A correctly installed heavy-duty removable bollard, like our 114mm Platinum range, is built to resist vehicle impact and is widely used specifically to deter ram-raid and forced-entry attempts on shopfronts and warehouses. For the highest-risk sites, discuss your specific threat level with our team when requesting a quote.

What's the difference between a security bollard and a standard bollard?

The term usually comes down to purpose and build. Our 114mm Platinum bollard is marketed as a high-security option because of its heavier steel post and impact resistance, while the 90mm range is a strong, general-purpose option for driveways and access control. Both use the same secure key-lock removable system.

Can security bollards be removed for deliveries or access?

Yes - that's the advantage of a removable bollard over a fixed one. Unlock it with your key, lift it out of the sleeve, and the flush cover plate keeps the area safe until you replace it.
