A beautiful, low profile, stainless steel bollard for mounting access control devices in decorative entryways, glass lobbies, Class A office spaces, and other premium locations. Its low profile depth (4") plus its tapered top and rounded corners give it a modern shape, and its internal base plate insures not only strong anchorage but hidden mounting fasteners to complete its modern design that pleases both the architect and customer alike. This pedestal comes with a cutout that matches a Swiftlane Swiftreader X Surface Mount. Brushed stainless: the rounded corners are mirror-polished and each flat surface is polished with a 80 grit #4 finish. There is an access panel on the backside. Whereas a competing bollard that uses a lightweight 2-piece anchor-bollard design will begin to wobble shortly after the initial installation, this heavy duty stainless steel tower will hold steady regardless of the use and abuse because of its one-piece design (post and base are welded together) and its .25" thick base plate that get secured to the floor. See its “Installation Instructions.” Furthermore, this stanchion has passed our facewind testing protocol which determined it can survive sustained Category 5 hurricane force winds of 157 mph.
