Nationwide Safety Solutions with Australian Bollards Energy Absorbing Range
Australian Bollards AB-EAB Energy Absorbing Bollard, a proven solution for protecting people, infrastructure, and critical assets from errant vehicles, is now supplied and serviced across every state and territory in Australia. Designed as a non-redirective crash attenuator, the AB-EAB is engineered to stop a 1.7 tonne vehicle travelling at up to 65 km/h, significantly reducing the risk of serious injury or fatality in the event of an impact.
Unlike traditional rigid bollards that simply stop a vehicle with a harsh, abrupt collision, our Energy Absorbing Bollard is designed to deform in a controlled way. Its patented cartridge system absorbs the energy of the impact, lifting the vehicle’s front axle and causing occupants to move back and away from the steering wheel and dashboard, rather than being thrown forward into them. This controlled deceleration helps protect both the people inside the vehicle and those in the immediate vicinity, and is supported by detailed impact analysis.
The AB-EAB is compliant with AS/NZS 3845 road safety barrier standards and is recognised for its performance as a Test Level 0 energy absorbing device in low speed environments. It has been applied extensively to safeguard shopfronts, outdoor dining areas, public transport interfaces, and high pedestrian density locations, where both protection and controlled vehicle behaviour are critical.
Our system is also used to shield critical infrastructure such as power stations, substations, ports, desalination plants, hospitals, and government facilities, providing a robust layer of protection without creating a solid, unforgiving obstacle.
To suit different applications, our Energy Absorbing Bollards can be integrated with screens, non-deforming bollards, and lighting to create complete partition systems for work zones, construction sites, and temporary or semi-permanent layouts. These systems have been impact tested to 60 km/h and are designed to separate vehicles from pedestrians while maintaining sight lines and access where required.
From permanent foundations for long-term protection to removable configurations for flexible traffic and crowd management, we tailor each installation to the specific risk profile and operational needs of the site.
Most importantly, we now offer design, supply, installation, and maintenance of our Energy Absorbing Bollards nationwide. Whether your project is in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Hobart, Darwin, Canberra, or in regional and remote communities, our team can support you with site assessment, engineering advice, and a fully certified installation that meets local authority requirements.
From protecting a single vulnerable shopfront to securing a large critical infrastructure facility, we deliver a consistent, Australian-made solution backed by specialist expertise.
