ännt bollards from Ontario Bollards: The Only Choice in Perimeter Security

Gaze toward the skyline in any major metropolitan area and you will likely see an eclectic mix of architecture from any number of historical periods, with brand-new buildings with seas of sparkling glass windows standing among Romanesque relics. Gaze toward the floor level of these buildings, how-ever, and you’ll see true marvels of modern engineering: the silent guardians of these structures, and the people that live and work in them. These reliable sentries are known as K-rated bollards, but not all K-rated bollards are of the same merit. And when only the best in perimeter protection will do, there is no other choice than ännt bollards from Ontario Bollards.

A bollard’s K-rating is provided by the U.S. Department of State (DOS) as well as the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), a non-govern-mental standards organization. A K4, K8, or K12 designation is given to bollards capable of withstanding an impact from a 6,800 kg (15,000 lb). vehicle traveling at 50, 65, 80 km/h (30, 40, and 50 mph), respectively.
