Crash Rated Bollards
Crash-Rated Bollards are designed to stop various types of vehicles up to specific speeds from penetrating desired secure perimeters. These crash-rated bollards have a ratings system originally developed by the Department of State in 1985, then revised up until 2003. This was known as the K-Ratings system. The crash-rated bollard, or barrier, was given an āLā rating certification based on the distance a 15,000 lb. vehicle traveled beyond the bollard or barrier (up to an allowable distance without failing).
