MaxiForce Breakaway Safety Feature

Unique Breakaway Safety Feature

MaxiForce Traffic Control Bollards’ patented breakaway insert is a distinctive feature that allows emergency and safety personnel immediate access beyond the bollard without leaving the vehicle, saving valuable response time.

The breakaway feature works by allowing the unit to “break away” from the base unit permitting access without using the wrench operation or removing the padlock. Two unique inserts are designed to shear, or tear away, when pushed by a vehicle.This gives the vehicle access without causing significant damage to the bollard or vehicle. The feature ensures there will never be a time when emergency personnel can not access protected or blocked areas, thus providing for the safety and security of those facilities and persons on the other side of the barricade. By simply replacing the inexpensive inserts, the bollard can be placed back into service in a matter of minutes by use of a standard allen wrench.

MaxiForce bollards inserts come in four versions – standard (P-145), heavy-duty (P-150), steel (P-151) and non-breakaway (P-152). These various inserts give you choices to fit your locations operation and particular conditions. All inserts types are available for purchase with the original order and as replacement parts.
