Protecting an expensive asset
A charging pedestal is costly and sits where cars manoeuvre every day. A single parking-lot strike can take a unit out of service. We fabricate protective posts and guards sized to shield pedestals and cabinets while leaving room for cables, door swing and accessibility.
Bollards are positioned from your layout and field measurements, with attention to stall dimensions, curb lines, snow clearing and sightlines. We can supply and install across the GTA.
What we consider
- Pedestal and cabinet dimensions
- Stall layout and approach angles
- Cable reach and access
- Snow clearing and curb lines
- Fixed or bolt-down mounting
- Finish and visibility
Positioning charger bollards
Charger bollards work best when they are placed before the pedestal is energized or the lot is striped, but we are often asked to retrofit protection after a first strike. Either way we measure the stalls, the pedestal base and the curb, and place posts so a vehicle cannot reach the unit without leaving room for the driver to plug in comfortably.
Snow clearing is part of the layout. Posts are spaced so a plow or a blower can work around them, and heights are chosen so they remain visible in winter.
What we check before we fabricate
Cable reach is the detail most often missed. Bollard layout is checked against the charge cable length and the parking position, because protection that forces drivers to stretch or wrap a cable around a post creates a new damage point. Spacing has to protect the charger without blocking the charging stall.
Mounting depends on the slab. Surface-mounted, sleeved or embedded posts are chosen around concrete thickness, conduit runs and edge distance, and charger islands often hide electrical routes below the slab, so we confirm what is underneath before anything is cored or drilled.
Visibility matters in parking lots and underground garages. Powder-coated safety colours, reflective bands or galvanized posts help drivers see the protection before they hit it.
What to ask before ordering
- Where are the conduit runs and what is the slab thickness?
- Will the posts stop a bumper before it reaches the screen, plug and cable mounts?
- Can drivers reach the charger with the cable straight and untangled?
- Which finish suits an outdoor lot or an underground garage?
- Who installs, and how long will the stalls be out of use?
Frequently asked questions
