Hörmann bollards secure Sanderson Transport hub
FBS Hörmann has completed the installation of five Hörmann Security Line automatic bollards at the main entrance to the East Midlands storage and distribution facility operated by Stephen Sanderson Transport.
THE NEW bollards have been installed to enhance traffic management and site security, complementing the company’s existing automated gate and security systems.
The Hörmann Security Line automatic bollards provide a highly reliable and flexible solution for controlling vehicle access at busy logistics sites. Designed for continuous operation, the bollards can be fully raised in 1.5 seconds, allowing for rapid response in emergency situations. Integrated battery back-up systems ensure continued functionality and site protection even during power outages.
Safety is a key feature of the system, with each bollard incorporating force limitation technology. In the unlikely event of pedestrian contact during operation, the bollard automatically retracts to prevent injury. The installation also includes a fully integrated safety control system featuring induction loops, photocells, and a traffic light interface, ensuring safe and efficient access control for vehicles and personnel alike.
The project was fully project-managed by FBS Hörmann’s Perimeter Protection division, working closely with civil contractors and the Sanderson Transport team to coordinate installation and commissioning.
