What this system does
A configuration for the real operating conditions.
Bollards and tyre killers require careful civil and operational design. TekRabbits reviews approach speed, drainage, foundations, emergency access, signage and the site’s security procedure. A product’s crash performance must be supported by the exact certified configuration before any rating is claimed.
TekRabbits reviews the site and recommends a system with the necessary controls, protection and manual procedures. Final capacities, options and interfaces are confirmed in the quotation for your installation.

Ask about this configurationPerimeter control in detail
Bollards & Tyre Killers in operation.
Road blockers and tyre killers are chosen around threat level, civil works, drainage and safe vehicle movement. Their controls and emergency procedures must be defined before installation.
One protected control point
Vehicle approach detected
Operator and lane state checked
Barrier commanded
Position and exception confirmed
Record lane width, vehicle approach, required barrier behaviour and any pedestrian crossing.
Review foundation depth, drainage, power, hydraulics and access for maintenance.
Test warnings, vehicle detection, interlocks, manual override and emergency procedure.
Plan checks for drives, controls and drainage; TekRabbits support is available every day.
Specification guide
What we check before recommending a system.
The questions below shape capacity, installation effort, controls and safety. A short site survey or clear photographs and dimensions can resolve many of them before the quotation.
- Define threat level, vehicle types and security outcome.
- Check foundations, drainage and buried services.
- Plan interlocks, emergency access and pedestrian separation.
TekRabbits support
Every day of the year. The whole system.
Our support covers product selection, installation coordination, commissioning, user guidance, maintenance planning, spare parts and fault diagnosis. We agree any project-specific response and service terms before deployment.

Bollards & Tyre Killers: common questions
Specific answers about configurations, site preparation, safety and support for bollards & tyre killers.
Ask about your siteWhat configurations of bollards & tyre killers are available?
The TekRabbits range covers Semi-automatic bollards, Automatic hydraulic bollards, Tyre-killer spike barrier. We narrow the choice using the site conditions and confirm the exact capacity and options in the proposal.
How do Semi-automatic bollards and Automatic hydraulic bollards differ?
Hand-operated hydraulic-release bollards that do not need an electrical supply. Powered rising bollards for controlled vehicle access at restricted sites. We compare the actual operating duty, installation geometry and controls before recommending one.
What measurements are needed before choosing bollards & tyre killers?
Define threat level, vehicle types and security outcome. Measurements let us check capacity and fit instead of guessing from a product name.
Which operating conditions affect the recommendation?
Check foundations, drainage and buried services. Tell us about peak use and any unusual environment so the equipment and controls fit daily operation.
What should be planned for safety and abnormal operation?
Plan interlocks, emergency access and pedestrian separation. We agree the protective devices and manual procedure for the installed configuration before commissioning.
Can this system connect to other controls?
Operator consoles, vehicle detection, warning lights, access readers and compatible barrier controllers can be linked after the permitted movement sequence is defined. Pedestrian separation and emergency override are reviewed with the site.
Can this be added to an existing site?
A retrofit depends on civil depth, drainage, pavement strength, utilities below the road, power and safe maintenance access. We survey the lane before recommending a rising bollard or tyre killer assembly.
What maintenance should the system receive?
Inspect pit drainage, moving elements, hydraulics or electromechanical drive, warning devices, vehicle detection and manual override. Follow the chosen equipment's service schedule and record every fault response.
Does support every day of the year end after the first year?
No. “Every day of the year” describes when the TekRabbits support route is available, rather than a one-year after-sales term. On-site attendance, parts and response targets are set in the project agreement.
How do I request a recommendation for bollards & tyre killers?
Use the Automation Services enquiry page. Share site location, dimensions, expected use, existing equipment and your preferred timeline. The selected product family is carried into the form.
Ready to specify bollards & tyre killers?
