M50 K12 PAS68 Crash Impact Test Rated Fixed Bollard
The Madoors USA M50 K12 PAS68 Crash Impact Test Rated Fixed Bollard range covers certified hostile vehicle mitigation bollards and architectural fixed bollard systems for very high-security vehicle entrances at army, industrial, government, and commercial buildings — available in four configurations: fixed embedded, fixed surface-mounted flange, lighted surface-mounted base plate, and removable external locking series. Crash-tested and certified to M50, K12, and PAS 68 standards for the highest-security applications, and available in carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum in multiple head design styles and illumination options, the Madoors USA fixed bollard range serves the complete spectrum from certified hostile vehicle mitigation at military and government perimeters through to pedestrian pathway definition and landscape separation at commercial and residential properties.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Madoors USA crash-tested fixed bollards are certified to M50, K12, and PAS 68 — the primary international hostile vehicle mitigation standards covering the American ASTM M50 rating (6,800 kg vehicle at 80 km/h), the US Department of State K12 rating (equivalent stopping performance), and the UK PAS 68 certification — providing multi-standard crash performance documentation for government, military, and critical infrastructure procurement compliance across North American, European, and international markets.
Four bollard series cover different installation requirements, security levels, and architectural applications.
The Fixed Bollard Embedded Series provides the highest structural performance through deep foundation embedding — the embedded installation creates a monolithic connection between the bollard base and the surrounding concrete foundation, providing the maximum available resistance to vehicle impact lateral and overturning forces at M50 and K12 certified performance levels. Four head design styles are available, all providing a closed top unit suitable for a variety of landscape settings.
The Fixed Bollard Surface Mounted Flange Series uses bolt-down installation on existing surfaces — providing a simpler, faster, and less expensive installation that does not require new foundation excavation. The surface-mounted flange series is appropriate for property and pedestrian protection, pathway definition, and area separation where crash certification to the highest M50 level is not required and the primary requirement is reliable vehicle deterrence at lower impact energy levels.
The Lighted Bollard Fixed Surface Mounted Base Plate Series provides all the installation advantages of the surface-mounted flange series with the addition of integrated low-level lighting in a full range of illumination options and design styles — serving both the security and the landscape lighting functions from a single bollard installation. Matching non-illuminated fixed bollards and variants with embedded safety or security cores for added impact resistance are available to complement the lighted bollard range in mixed installations.
The Removable Bollard External Locking Series uses a standard padlock external locking mechanism to secure the removable bollard in the ground sleeve when access is to be blocked, and allows the bollard to be removed from the sleeve when temporary vehicle access through the bollard line is required. Available in carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum in four design styles at Safety and Security level configurations — providing vehicle stopping power appropriate to the specific threat level of each installation alongside the operational flexibility of temporary bollard removal.
KEY FEATURES
M50, K12 & PAS 68 Multi-Standard Crash Certification
The Madoors USA crash-tested fixed bollard range holds M50, K12, and PAS 68 certification — covering the primary international hostile vehicle mitigation rating systems used by government, military, and critical infrastructure procurement authorities across North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific. Multi-standard certification eliminates the need to specify different bollard products for different national or institutional certification requirements at the same facility perimeter.
Fixed Embedded Series — Maximum Structural Performance
The embedded installation creates the strongest possible bollard-to-foundation connection by forming a monolithic bond between the bollard base and the surrounding concrete — distributing vehicle impact forces into the foundation mass and the surrounding ground rather than concentrating load at discrete anchor bolt positions. This embedded structural connection provides the highest achievable vehicle impact resistance for fixed bollards at M50 and K12 crash-certified performance levels.
Four Head Design Styles — Closed Top Unit
The four available head design styles for the embedded and surface-mounted series all provide a closed top unit — eliminating the open-top security risk of hollow bollard designs where debris, water, and tampering can compromise the bollard's internal structure. Closed top design also provides a finished, professional appearance suitable for the full range of landscape, commercial, and institutional environments where the bollard is installed.
Fixed Surface-Mounted Flange — Easy Existing Surface Installation
Bolt-down installation on existing concrete or paved surfaces eliminates the requirement for new foundation excavation — allowing the bollard to be installed on existing infrastructure without the civil works cost, time, and disruption of embedded foundation construction. This installation efficiency makes the surface-mounted flange series the preferred specification for retrofit security upgrades at operational facilities where construction disruption must be minimized.
Lighted Bollard Series — Security & Landscape Illumination
The lighted bollard surface-mounted base plate series provides integrated low-level illumination in a full range of design styles and illumination options — delivering both the security bollard function and the landscape or pathway lighting function from a single installation. This dual-function capability reduces the total number of ground installations required for a combined security and lighting scheme, lowering installation cost and surface footprint while providing consistent visual character across the security and lighting elements of the scheme.
Matching Non-Illuminated Bollards & Security Core Variants
The lighted bollard range is complemented by matching non-illuminated fixed bollards for positions where illumination is not required, and by variants with embedded safety or security cores for added impact resistance — allowing a visually consistent bollard scheme to be specified across positions with different security performance requirements and lighting needs within the same perimeter or landscape design.
Removable External Locking Series — Operational Flexibility
The external locking removable bollard provides the security performance of a fixed bollard when locked in position — secured by any standard padlock preventing unauthorized removal and vehicle access — and the operational flexibility of temporary removal when vehicle access through the bollard line is required. This removability makes the external locking series the practical specification for bollard positions where periodic authorized vehicle access must be accommodated alongside continuous pedestrian and unauthorized vehicle control.
Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel & Aluminum — Material Options
Three material options cover different corrosion resistance, structural performance, weight, and aesthetic requirements. Carbon steel provides the highest structural mass for maximum vehicle impact resistance. Stainless steel provides superior corrosion resistance for coastal, high-humidity, and chemically aggressive environments with a premium surface appearance. Aluminum provides lightweight, corrosion-resistant construction for lower-security pathway definition and pedestrian protection applications.
Safety & Security Level Configurations — Removable Series
The removable bollard range is available in Safety level and Security level design configurations — with Safety level providing property and pedestrian protection against accidental vehicle intrusion, and Security level providing enhanced vehicle stopping power against deliberate hostile vehicle attacks. Security level configuration is specified where the removable bollard must provide certified hostile vehicle mitigation performance comparable to fixed bollard installations.
Ideal for Constant Access Pathway Applications
Fixed manual bollards are specifically suited to sites where pathway access remains constant — where the bollard line does not need to be raised, lowered, or removed for regular vehicle access. Permanent fixed bollards at these positions provide the most cost-effective, maintenance-free, and structurally reliable hostile vehicle mitigation solution available.
Streets Closed to Vehicle Traffic
Fixed bollards are widely deployed at streets and pathways closed to vehicle traffic between certain hours — providing a physical vehicle exclusion barrier that does not require staffing or active management during the restricted hours. Pedestrian and cyclist access is maintained through the bollard spacing while vehicle access is physically prevented by the bollard obstruction.

ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION SEQUENCE
Site Survey & Series Selection
Bollard positions, required crash certification level, installation surface type, illumination requirement, removability requirement, material specification, and head design style are confirmed for each bollard position in the installation scheme.
Embedded Series Foundation Excavation & Concrete Works
Foundation excavation is completed at each embedded bollard position to the specified depth. Reinforced concrete foundation is cast with the embedded bollard base positioned during the pour. Foundation concrete achieves full design strength before load application.
Surface-Mounted Series Anchor Installation
Anchor bolt holes are drilled at the specified positions on the existing surface for surface-mounted flange and base plate series bollards. Anchor bolts are set and the flange or base plate is secured and torqued to the specified installation setting.
Lighted Bollard Electrical Connection
Electrical supply conduits are installed at each lighted bollard position during foundation or surface preparation works. Lighted bollard units are installed and the electrical connection to the illumination system is made and verified.
Removable Bollard Ground Sleeve Installation
Ground sleeves for the removable bollard series are installed in the prepared surface at each bollard position — embedded in new concrete or surface-mounted depending on the installation configuration. Sleeve alignment and top flush with the surrounding surface are verified.
Bollard Body Installation & External Locking Mechanism
Removable bollard bodies are inserted into the installed ground sleeves. External locking hardware is fitted and the padlock securing mechanism is tested for correct engagement and release.
Final Inspection & Certification Handover
All bollard installations are inspected for correct alignment, foundation integrity, surface finish, illumination operation, and locking mechanism function. M50, K12, and PAS 68 crash test certification documentation is compiled into the project handover package for embedded crash-certified bollard installations.
