Why Bendy Bollards
The special rubber mixture
The Rocycle Bollards are made of special mixture of vulcanised rubber granulate mixed with unvulcanised rubber. The rubber granulate consist of material recovered from the production of V-belts providing the bollards with extreme strength, flexibility and chemical resistance, just to mention the most important.

- Our bollards may be Bendy, but to bend the bollard to an angle of up 30-40 degrees the minimum collision force required would need to be over 200KG.
- The Bendy Bollards are one of very few products that are able to recycle left over material from the production of V-belts and transmission belts which would otherwise go to landfill.
- Each of our bollards can handle different force and following an impact the bollard will rise back to its upright position undamaged, causing none to very minimal damage to the car
- Our bollards are long lasting which means considerable savings in replacement costs
- Bendy Bollard is solid and consists of 60% new rubber and 40% of vulcanised rubber from the production of transmission belts and V-belts.
- The bollard does not lose its flexibility at -25°C, but it will of course get somewhat more rigid. The binder that is used in the raw material is a special conveyor belt rubber that is required to be flexible down to -30°C.
- The bollard is resistant to chemicals, petrol, etc. in quantities that are above the normal level for the average street environment.
- Reflective tape, signs, ‘eyes’, eyelets, etc. are easily mounted onto the bollards. The colour of the reflective tape that are available are yellow, white and red. The bollard is available in two colours; black and granite.
- To date we have not received any reports of vandalism or of bollards that have been removed or broken. Serious vandalism would require special tools and the bollards cannot be bent or damaged by manual force.
- The bollards have been tried under a fire test with the following result: After having been exposed to a Bunsen burner with a 150 – 180mm flame at approximately 900°C - 1000°C, the bollard stayed on fire for two seconds before self-extinguishing.
