Flexible Keep Left Night Owl Bollards

A perfect solution for highways and non-highway applications, the Flexible Keep Left Night Owl Bollards is a new, low-energy absorption, highway sign providing an attractive, logical evolution in the iconic design of Keep Left Bollards.

One-Piece Flexible Keep Left Bollards Night Owl:

The innovative technology was developed to enable the fusing of two different materials within the manufacturing process. This technique produced a superior product which gives both the benefit of a flexible base material, which allows the bollard to completely collapse on impact, yet the ability to have a highly durable rigid MDPE polymer sign face. This massively reduces the typical cracking and blistering of graphics found on inferior (entirely flexible material) products widely seen in the market place.

• Low maintenance, simple one piece moulded construction.
• Reliable bounce back performance, irrespective of the type of impact (side scrape, side swipe or front on) with no mechanical parts to break or come loose.
• Withstand impacts up to 100km/h, returns to 97.9% of its vertical position within 55 seconds.
• Tough double skin sign carrier which dramatically reduces flexing to a minimum which reduces the chance of the retro reflective graphics from cracking, splitting and eventually falling off unlike competitor products.
• Good transitional visibility with 53mm wide side/top reflectors giving an impressive projected surface area of 0.045 M sq. The BS8442:2006 standard only requires 0.02M sq.
• Various retro reflective graphics combinations can be offered to suit a variety of solutions.
• Adapter plates available to allow the One-Piece Night Owl product to replace other popular bollards that have failed.
• The product offers an impressively low folding height of 130mm. When tested with low ground clearance vehicles the graphics together with the recessed graphics area provided reliable protected from aggressive scraping which can be found with alternatives.
• The unique ‘dome’ shaped base gives a reliable bounce back performance irrespective of the type of impact or angle (side scrap, side angle, swipe or front on).
• The unique side reflector wrap as proven to be useful for better visibility at junctions for not just lower vehicles but also for waggon drivers with high cabins.
