Heald Introduces the Worlds First Surface Mounted Automatic Bollard System
The Matador is a revolutionary product from Heald – a completely new design, surface mounted, automated bollard system.
The HT1 - Matador comprises two fixed bollards mounted on a plate with a third automatic sliding bollard central to the fixed bollards. On command, this bollard simply slides to the side to allow passage of a vehicle (as shown below), and slides back to protect the location. The top image shows the bollard system prior to a crash test.

- Special design to prevent ingress of dirt or debris.
- Fully Health and Safety compliant - no pinch points or trap hazards, no voids as complete moving mechanism is fully contained within the base plate.
- The bollard simply slides into position to protect the location and slides diagonally on command to allow vehicle entry and exit.
- The Matador is surface mounted and can be bolted to a concrete road or base with 18 No. M20 safety plus bolts by Heald.
