A fully bespoke design service is available for bollards specified in Marshalls' Ferrocast polyurethane material, enabling clients to specify bollards to match exact project requirements.

The Rhinoguard range has been successfully crash tested in accordance with the BSI PAS 68 standard, providing proven impact performance at three distinct levels of protection and budget.

Only through specifying products successfully tested to BSI PAS 68 is perimeter protection assured, however this does not mean that the highest specifications of PAS 68 security are always required.

The Rhinoguard bollards are designed to fulfill the security needs of locations requiring different levels of perimeter protection.

This enables clients to design effective hostile vehicle mitigation measures in proportion with the level of risk of an attack, the traversability of the surrounding landscape, the available stand off distances and the overall project budget.

The Rhinoguard 15/30 was crash tested using a 1.5 tonne saloon car travelling at 30mph (48km/h).

It is designed for areas which are either at lower risk of a high energy vehicle attack or where large vehicles are unable to gain sufficient speed or access.

The bollard is designed for a wide range of applications which previously would use a generic, untested anti ram specification.

The Rhinoguard 25/40 was successfully tested with a 2.5 tonne 4x4 vehicle travelling at 40mph (64 km/h).

The bollard is designed for sites at higher risk of an attack and where medium sized vehicles are able to reach considerable speeds, including; rail stations, sports stadia, shopping centres and the public realm.

The Rhinoguard 75/40 was tested with a fully laden 7.5 tonne 2 axle lorry, travelling at 40mph (64 km/h).

The bollard is suitable for high risk locations with sufficient stand off distances, where large vehicles capable of carrying out high energy attacks are able to gain considerable acceleration.
