Frequently Asked Questions
TYMETAL has been in the perimeter security solutions market since 1985. With more than three decades of experience designing, manufacturing, and installing the Carstopper 30 Removable or Fixed Bollard, we have encountered many questions along the way. Explore a few of the common questions we are asked below. If you don’t find the answers you’re looking for, feel free to contact us by phone at 888-978-4283 or online.
What crash rating does the CarStopper 30 provide?
The TYMETAL CarStopper 30 is a certified vehicle impact barrier designed to stop passenger car and light vehicle threats, with the “30” designation reflecting the 30 mph impact speed parameter in its testing. It provides reliable vehicle access control for pedestrian zones, storefronts, and perimeters where light vehicle protection is required without the heavy foundation demands of truck-rated bollards.
Does it support both removable and fixed configurations interchangeably?
Yes. The CarStopper 30 is available in both fixed and removable configurations using the same sleeve foundation system. This allows the unit to be specified as removable for managed vehicle access scenarios, with the option to convert to fixed by permanently grouting the bollard in place using the installed sleeve without requiring new civil work.
What finish and corrosion protection options exist?
The CarStopper 30 is available with powder coat finishes in standard safety yellow and other colors for outdoor corrosion resistance. Decorative covers and architectural finishes are available for installations in pedestrian plazas, retail environments, and streetscapes where the bollard should blend with the surrounding environment.
What periodic checks and maintenance are needed for consistent performance?
The CarStopper 30 requires periodic inspection of the locking mechanism on removable units, the sleeve interface for debris and corrosion, and the exterior coating for damage. The surrounding pavement and foundation should be checked for cracking or settlement that could affect the bollard’s anchoring performance. Any vehicle strike requires professional inspection before return to service.
