The Indispensable Solution for Secure Areas - Mavalock Bollards
Bollards are among the most effective physical security systems for car park entry and exit control, building perimeter security and the protection of private areas. As Mavalock we manufacture and sell high-strength, attractive and technological bollard systems for public institutions, military facilities, hotels, office buildings, shopping centres, residential entrances and private car park areas across Turkey.
In modern cities, automatic, semi-automatic and fixed bollard systems are among the ideal answers for controlling vehicle traffic, preventing unauthorised vehicle entry and keeping pedestrians safe. Mavalock bollard systems make the difference with European-standard quality, IP67 protection level, high impact resistance and a long-life hydraulic and pneumatic system structure.

What Is a Bollard?
A bollard is a durable, cylindrical security element mounted into the ground to prevent vehicle entry into a given area or to provide controlled passage. Generally produced from steel or cast material, these barriers show high strength against vehicle impact. Mavalock bollard systems are designed as fixed, semi-automatic (manual sprung) or fully automatic (hydraulic/pneumatic) according to the security requirement. The types of bollard are as follows.
1. Fixed Bollards
Fixed models are preferred especially in pedestrian areas, squares and zones requiring public safety. They are fixed into the ground and do not move. With their attractive appearance they fit into the city's architecture and offer high impact resistance.
Key features:
- Galvanised coating + electrostatic paint
- High-strength steel body
- Night-time visibility thanks to reflective yellow bands
- Structure resistant to impacts of up to 10 tonnes
2. Semi-Automatic (Manual Sprung) Bollards
This model suits areas where vehicle entry is infrequent but which nevertheless need to be opened and closed from time to time. It can be pushed down into the ground by the user and rises again through the spring mechanism when released.
Technical advantages:
- Requires no hydraulic or electrical connection
- Low maintenance cost
- Fast installation
- Long-life spring system
- Ideal solution for low-traffic passages such as car parks, villas and private areas
3. Automatic (Hydraulic / Pneumatic) Bollards
In facilities requiring high security and frequent use, automatic bollards operating with hydraulic or pneumatic systems are preferred. They can work integrated with a vehicle access control system (RFID, HGS, remote control, push button or licence plate recognition system).
