A bollard barrier is a steel post used as an anti-vehicle protection solution. These barriers come in various configurations—surface-mounted (fixed), cement-anchored, or movable through hydraulics, electric motors, or manual deployment. Bollards help control both pedestrian and vehicle traffic and are commonly installed in front of retail stores, courthouses, military bases, and other high-traffic or high-security areas.

Bollard barriers are often used to prevent building or equipment damage, deter vehicle-based theft (ram-raids), reduce accidents caused by driver error, and minimize injuries and insurance claims. Barrier Stop, based in Mesa, Arizona, manufactures a unique, manually deployable bollard barrier designed for rapid anti-ram protection. Each bollard weighs over 350 lbs and can be raised or lowered within seconds—without the need for forklifts or powered machinery. This flush, in-ground, rebar-reinforced system is hot-dip galvanized for durability. The Minuteman bollard is 100% manually deployable, requiring no power, no control systems, and posing no tripping hazards or exposed holes. It includes a pre-fabricated, threaded rebar kit for ease of installation.
