FAQs

What are crash-rated bollards and how do their ratings work?

Crash-rated bollards are impact-resistant posts designed to stop vehicles from breaching secured perimeters. Ratings such as K4, K8, and K12 indicate the speed and weight of the vehicle they can stop (e.g., K4 stops a 15,000 lb vehicle at 30 mph).

How do I choose the right boom barrier for my facility?

Consider factors such as:

Barrier length (to cover your driveway width)
Opening/closing speed (for traffic flow requirements)
Power source and backup (electric vs. solar, UPS)
Control options (remote, loop detectors, RFID access)

What maintenance is required for motorised sliding and swing gates?

Routine maintenance includes:

Cleaning tracks and lubricating rollers monthly
Inspecting and tightening hardware quarterly
Testing safety sensors and reversing mechanisms every six months

Are BGI Engitech’s gates and bollards weather-proof?

Yes. All products use corrosion-resistant coatings and stainless-steel components rated for extreme temperatures (–20 °C to 60 °C) and high humidity.

What is the typical lead time for delivery and installation?

Standard delivery is 6–8 weeks from order confirmation. Installation usually takes 1–3 days on-site, depending on the project scope.

Can I customise the design and finish of the gates or bollards?

Absolutely. We offer powder-coat finishes in any RAL color, custom mounting options, and branding (logos, signage) on swing and sliding gates.

What safety certifications do your products have?

Our crash-rated bollards and gates meet ASTM F2656-20 standards, and boom barriers conform to CE and ISO 9001:2015 quality management certifications.

Do you provide warranty and after-sales support?

All products include a 2-year manufacturer’s warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. After-sales support is available 24/7 via phone, email, and on-site service agreements.

How can I integrate access control systems with your barriers?

Our barriers support integration with:

RFID readers and proximity cards
Biometric scanners (fingerprint, face recognition)
Third-party systems via dry-contact relays or TCP/IP interfaces

What installation site preparations are needed?

Please ensure:

A stable, level concrete foundation (minimum 200 mm thickness)
Trenching and conduit for power and signal cables
Unobstructed swing path for swing gates and clear track area for sliding gates

Can your solutions be used in high-security or government installations?

Yes. Our crash-rated bollards, tyre killers, and full-height turnstiles are widely deployed in military bases, government buildings, and critical infrastructure.
