The mix and match features of the Series 7900/8900 removable bollard product line include two bollard posts, two types of bike arm attachments and two different in-ground removable receiver systems. These bollards can also be mounted as fixed bollard versions, by using a surface/flange mount installation option or by using an in-ground/embedded installation option.
After installation, removable bollards are easily lifted entirely out of a metal sleeve (or “receiver”) in the ground - an attractive cost option for venues that work best with varied bollard arrangements for events or other changing uses. Many such venues buy receivers for several bollard configurations they use, and save money by moving the removable bollard posts from spot to spot as needed.

These types of bollards are most often used in areas such as driveways or other entry points where passive security bollards are needed most of the time, but which need to be opened for purposes including delivery, maintenance & emergency vehicles.
The Series now have complimentary fixed and removable bollards available. "Both retractable and removable bollards are an important design and cost asset. They make it easy to match bollards throughout a property, rather than having decorative bollards around most of the perimeter but less attractive ‘utility’ bollards across vehicle entry points, and save money by allowing designers to use lower cost fixed bollards on most of a site, investing a bit more for retractable or removable bollards where they are needed," Done noted.
Additional options for all removable, retractable or fixed bollards include reflective stripes to make them more visible at night, decreasing accidental damage.
Reliance Foundry provides all of the hardware and installation instructions needed for all of its bollard lines, so specifiers and others face no danger of having to search for separate hardware to install these bollards.
