K12 Shallow Fixed Bollard – Elite Crash-Rated Barrier (M50)
When the highest level of vehicle impact protection is required but deep excavation is not practical, our K12 Shallow Fixed Bollard offers a solution. Certified to M50 (equivalent to K12), this fixed bollard combines top-tier crash resistance with shallow-mount foundation design.
What Is a K12 Shallow Fixed Bollard?
A K12 (M50) rating means the bollard is tested to stop a 15,000 lb (~6.8 t) vehicle at 50 mph (~80 km/h) under controlled conditions.
Shallow fixed models reduce excavation depth (e.g., ~400-mm) while retaining certified performance.

ASKED QUESTIONS
What is a K12 Shallow Fixed Bollard?
A K12 Shallow Fixed Bollard is a crash-rated security barrier designed to stop a 15,000 lb vehicle traveling at 50 mph. With a shallow foundation (typically 400 mm), it provides maximum vehicle impact protection where deep excavation is not feasible.
What does K12 or M50 crash rating mean?
The K12 (or ASTM M50) crash rating means the bollard can withstand the impact of a 6.8-ton truck moving at 50 mph. It’s one of the highest global standards for perimeter protection and hostile vehicle mitigation (HVM).
Where can K12 Shallow Fixed Bollards be used?
They are ideal for high-security zones such as embassies, airports, power plants, military bases, data centers, and corporate campuses — anywhere deep excavation is restricted but K12-rated security is required.
How deep is the foundation required for K12 Shallow Fixed Bollards?
Unlike traditional crash-rated bollards needing more than 1 meter of excavation, K12 shallow mounts need only around 300–400 mm. This makes them perfect for retrofit projects or urban environments with underground services.
Are K12 Shallow Fixed Bollards customizable?
Yes. Secure Bollard offers customizations in finish (stainless steel, powder-coated, galvanized), diameter, and height to match architectural requirements while maintaining certified crash protection.
What are the benefits of using shallow-mounted K12 bollards?
They combine high-level vehicle impact resistance with quick installation, minimal civil work, and reduced overall project costs—ideal for both new and existing facilities.
Are Secure Bollard’s K12 bollards crash-tested and certified?
Yes, Secure Bollard’s K12 bollards are designed and tested as per international ASTM M50 standards, ensuring proven performance for high-threat security applications.
