Clearance Bars - Free Standing

Components

The system consists of 5 components:

• A core (buried) or plate (bolt to the surface) 6" steel bollard. Height is 42" above ground for a 10' tall system, 66" for the 12' and 78" for the 13' system.
• The standard depth for a buried bollard is 24" below ground. The depth needs to extend below the frost line in your location. It is 42" for Michigan. If the concrete you set the bollard in goes below the frost line, the bollard can be shorter.
• A plastic sleeve for the bollard (yellow in the picture).
• A plastic covered vertical steel 1.25" pipe from the bollard (black in the picture). This is always 78" in height. It is welded to the bollard.
• A plastic covered horizontal 1.25" steel pipe with aluminum-magnesium fittings and 1.25" steel pipe corner brace (black in the picture). Max is 10 feet.
• A clearance bar (made of 1/4" Lo-Density Thermoplastic Polyethylene (LDPE) with Ultra-Violet and Anti-Static Additive). The bar is 5.25" x 78".
• The chain to hang the clearance bar is not included.You should get support chain that is at least 12". So the maximum height to the bottom of the clearance bar will be 1.25 + 5.25+ 12 (including hooks) or 18.5" below the stated height of the system. There must be at least a 12" chain to avoid damage if the bar is hit.

Measurements

The 6" standard bollard is 24" below ground. Each additional foot is $25.

Fixed System

This is a fixed system.  This means that the the cross bar does not move if hit by a vehicle.

Size

All systems are 10 feet wide and 10, 11, 12, or 13 feet high to the top of the support bar. The bottom of the clearance bar must be at least 12-18" lower. You can adjust it on site. Chain is not included.

Shipping/Delivery

The Free Standing Clearance Bar System is delivered by truck on a 4' x 11' pallet weighing around 350 lbs. for the 10' x 10' system. The vertical upright is welded to the bollard, so the vertical portion is one piece. The horizontal support bar, angle support, and clearance bar are shipped separately and are assembled on site. Chain is not included.

Receiving Notice

Note that you will be responsible for unloading, so you will most likely need a forklift.  The pallets for this product are often too long for a lift gate truck.  This can be discussed at the time of your quote or order.

Call if you have any questions.
