INTRODUCTION
TOUCHE is a traffic deterrent bollard designed to control vehicle traffic. The very thick steel bollard is hydraulically
driven and fully retracts into the ground except for the last 10 mm that stays above ground and has a warning light to
indicate the presence of the retracted bollard. The hydraulic control unit is incorporated in the bollard. In the event of a
power failure, the bollard can be fully retracted into ground by means of a manual release device. The electronic
control unit must be installed outside the bollard in a protect place. The bollard comes with a set of accessories to
ensure safety and manoeuvrability so that it can be installed in any place.
