Hi all,

Just a general call out to see if anyone on SAU works in the Security Industry and would help me out in getting 1 or 2 security bollards for my workshop entry. Primarily it is to stop ram-raids etc, so they will have to be either retractable or removable.

Looking at getting units that are very sturdy; places online all don't have prices so I have no idea what I'm looking at paying - any help is appreciated!

Cheers

Stan

i got out of the business a long time ago, i had a few connections so i'll have a look around for them. but those ram thingos dont do shit unless you've got one on the inside too. if someone was to rock up with some bolt cutters or an oxy (it happens) they'll get those suckers off with no problem within 2 or so mins.

i've seen and heard of alot of places with just the two on the outside.

Ive heard security patrols are good ,say maybe twice or once a night a guards comes around to check the premises and also monitoring the place is also good,that way if there is an alarm the guard is more likely to show up before the police do u good even have a silent alarm in order to catch thieves,etc.

need any more backup call 0409360867 and say Rik sent you they should give u a good deal.

Stan,

Security Bollards are a good investment, as previously pointed out they dont stop the intruder but they are a great deterant.

Eg. 2 shops identically the same one with bollards, one without bollards it is highly probable that the theive would go for the ones without the bollards. Its a risk management process. Likelihood vs, Consequence.

The likelihood of the event happening is lessened by having the bollards and the consequence lessens as the time it would take for a theive to enter increases.

=Great investment by pyshical deterance.

Alarm monitoring is not expensive. If an alarm is set off a patrol car will respond and then there will be an extra cost for the service.

Theres a few other things I could suggest if your serious about risks within your business.

Cheers

bit late,but most safety supplies stores stock such items or can atleast get them in for you. there is a place called KLENALL out at castlereagh.

OR you could always make your own with some RHS and cement.

i can give you a hand.

    • R12 has not been not available for....decades now. Propane is not a great replacement. (I mean, it's a great replacement, but it is a bit too flammable). R134a being the only way to go forward with an R12 system. The design pressures etc, are close enough to R12's to work. The ability to move heat around is close enough to R12's to work.
    • Out of curiosity, what's the reason for converting? I think @R3N3 might have the Frenchy's kit in the R33? I somehow think of you as the ambassador for realistic and clean street-driven setups nowadays  
    • careful when running the car after a boil over. Ive heard you can lose enough coolant that it won't show the right temps because of too much air in the system (or something like that). Make sure the levels are good before trying again.  Maybe a mobile mechanic can come have a look with their scan tool ?
    • OK, just for some extra clarity - there is more than one option at Frenchy's. 1. You can buy the whole kit - with or without the actual compressor. The whole kit includes mounts, hoses, condensor, etc. That's either ~$2200 or ~$2800. No surgery required with this option. 2. You can buy just the bracket (~$600), or the bracket with the compressor (~$1200). Either of this or the above option "without the compressor" is if you already have an Echo comp or you are able to source one locally. Whatever the case, in this option, you will need surgery done on your hoses to adapt to the new compressor. When I said "the Frenchy's kit", I meant the whole kit in option 1. It is obviously somewhat more $$ than a $1500 OEM compressor. But if I had to spend $1500 on an OEM compressor, I would certainly consider spending double that to renew and significantly update everything forward of the firewall. Another option is to rebuild your original compressor. My R34 comp is currently dead and I will be most likely doing that to it if the spare one in the shed is also leaky.
    • I’m thinking that’s the route I’ll  go, thanks for the input!
