Why RICJ? Here’s the reason

  • Built to Last: We use 304 or 316 stainless steel so that they won't rust out in a year.
  • Fast Action: They rise in 2 to 5 seconds—perfect for high-traffic spots.
  • Weather Proof: With an IP68 waterproof rating, our systems handle floods and freezing winters with ease.
  • Easy Setup: Our security bollard installation process is streamlined to save you time on-site.

Where do these actually fit?

Imagine a pedestrian street in the city centre. You want people to walk freely, but you need to let delivery trucks in at 5 AM. A retractable bollard system is the answer.

Our products solve:

  • Unauthorised parking: Keep fire lanes clear.
  • Ram-raid protection: Shield storefronts from vehicle attacks.
  • Access control: Sync them with license plate recognition for automatic entry.

Our Core Security Range

  • Automatic Bollards: For high-frequency, smart access control.
  • Fixed & Static Bollards: For permanent perimeter safety.
  • Road Blockers: When you need a robust protector for ultra-high security.
  • Tire Killers: To ensure one-way traffic and stop intruders instantly.

Does it really stand up to a hit?

We get asked this a lot. The answer is yes. While companies like Reliance Foundry or Marshalls offer great static options, RICJ focuses on the active bollards. Our automatic bollard system is engineered to absorb massive kinetic energy, keeping your facility safe from accidental or intentional impacts.
What our clients say: "We installed 120 units at a mall in Astana. The security bollard installation was way faster than we expected, and they’ve handled the harsh winter perfectly."

How to get the most out of your bollards

  1. Placement is key: Space them about 1.2 to 1.5 metres apart to stop cars but allow wheelchairs and pedestrians through.
  2. Regular Checks: Even though they're low maintenance, a quick seasonal check on the hydraulic fluid keeps them smooth for years.
  3. Smart Integration: Link them to your building's existing security desk for one-button lockdowns.
