The Shug Removable Bollard: locked in when you need it, out when you don’t
The Shug Removable Bollard is a beast of a bollard. Locked in, nothing’s driving past it. Unlocked, it lifts straight out so you can get vehicles through. It’s my go-to for driveways, garages, roller doors, shopfronts, car parks and factories that need access during the day but want the site shut after hours.
Sleeve and keys included
Every Shug Removable Bollard comes with its in-ground sleeve and 2 keys. The sleeve is set into a concrete footing in the ground. The bollard drops into the sleeve and locks in place.
Locks in two places
The top locks with an ATM cam lock (2 keys supplied), and there’s the option to add a padlock at the bottom. That two-lock setup gives extra protection, so even an adventurous thief will struggle to get past it.
Easy to use
Locking it in usually takes a few seconds. To remove it, unlock it, lift it up and put it in the storage sleeve. There’s no power, no motors and no remotes, so there’s nothing to go wrong.

- Home driveways and garages (see the Sunshine garage job)

Installation
The sleeve needs to go into a concrete footing at the right depth and be lined up properly, so the bollard locks securely and lifts out smoothly for years. I install right across Melbourne from my base in Mooroolbark. Get a quote for installation, read about bollard installation in Melbourne, or if you’re doing it yourself, follow my guide to installing a Shug removable bollard.
Can’t dig? If there are services under your driveway, ask me about a bolt-down removable bollard.
Made in Melbourne
I make these in my Mooroolbark workshop from quality Australian steel.
