Removable Bollards
To protect your vehicle and home from Ram Raids

More than just protecting your vehicle from theft, ram raid bollards can protect your home with steel walls that are 10mm thick. Get the peace of mind you need from Melbourne and Geelong’s security specialists.

The rising risk of garage entry

Victorian police and crime data show a rise in burglary and theft across both Melbourne and Greater Geelong. Although “ram raids” are counted within broader categories, recent police arrests and media reports confirm several break-ins involved vehicles used to push through residential and small commercial garages.
  • What this means for homeowners
A garage door alone cannot resist vehicle impact
Homes with visible equipment or bikes are frequently targeted
Many incidents take less than three minutes
Police and security specialists confirm bollards have prevented attempts
  • Why removable bollards work
They stop the vehicle at the point of entry
They protect the structure of the garage
They allow normal access during the day
They suit single or double garages
A removable bollard adds physical protection that alarms and cameras cannot provide on their own.
“Offenders use stolen cars to force entry because it is faster than breaking a lock, and it allows them to grab bikes, tools or equipment in minutes. A removable bollard gives a homeowner a physical barrier that stops a vehicle before it reaches the door”

How to Choose the right type of Removable Bollards?

10mm thick steel bollards are durable and removable, giving you protection against ram raids and the flexibility of being able to be removed. If you only want theft protection, cheaper 5mm residential bollards are also a popular choice in homes.

Removable bollards all include:

  • Two sets of keys
  • A flush fitting, hinged cover plate which acts as protective cover that’s attached to the ground (to automatically keep you safe when the bollard is removed)
  • An easy lift handle attached to the top
  • Colour choices such as white or yellow
  • Professional installation

If you need even greater protection than what’s offered by our 10mm solution, talk to us about surface mount or permanent bollards options.

Where Homeowners Install Ram Raid Bollards

  • Single garage
A single centrally placed bollard works for most layouts.
  • Double garage
Two bollards create a wider barrier and protect both bays.
  • Long driveways
Some homes add bollards behind the garage line to protect storage areas inside.
  • Side or rear access points
Properties with lane access benefit from a physical barrier that cannot be moved by pushing with a vehicle.
