The bollards

Two bollards, one way of working

Both models share the same drive, battery, safety features and controls. Sentry Max is the heavier duty of the two.

Why Boliq

Simple to live with, day and night

An electric rising bollard that works from a key fob out of the box, with app control when you want it.

The Boliq app, no WiFi needed

Add the app and SIM for £9.95 a month and raise or lower from anywhere. The bollard has its own mobile connection.

Key fobs as standard

Two key fobs come with every bollard. Press to raise, press to lower.

A Boliq key fob: a black oval remote with a padlock button at the top, a lightning bolt button in the middle and a second padlock button at the bottom

Schedules

Raise it every night and lower it every morning automatically, or open a car park at set times.

Alerts

With the app, you are told if a bollard reports a fault or loses power.

Safe by design

A top sensor stops it rising if anything is on it, it stops if it meets resistance, and it can be pushed down by hand in a power cut.

Battery or mains, your choice

Two swappable 20 Ah batteries mean no trench across your drive and no electrician as standard, and a typical household charges about every 7 months. An extra pair for £495 gives you spares to swap in. If you have a busy household with lots of commands, or a business entrance, consider mains power: we run a 24 V DC cable from your converter to the bollard at £35 per metre, and can supply and fit the converter for £195.

Share it with family and guests

With the app, give family full use of the bollard, or give a visitor, carer or tradesperson access that ends by itself after a day, a week or up to 90 days.

Connected

Works with the way you already live

Lower your bollard by voice, from your phone's shortcuts, from your smart home or from a number plate camera. Available with the Boliq app and SIM.

Siri and Shortcuts next app update Google Home Alexa Home Assistant

Lower on arrival

Your phone notices when you get home and lowers the bollard for you. Your location stays on your phone and is never sent to Boliq. Arrives with the next app update.

Number plate recognition

Link an ANPR camera and the bollard lowers for plates you have approved, with a log of every read. We can supply and set up the camera too, priced for the work involved. Tell us about your site.

Voice and smart home

Ask Alexa or Google Home to lower it, or build it into Home Assistant automations. Raising by voice is off unless you allow it. Siri and Shortcuts arrive with the next app update. Alexa, Google Home, Home Assistant.

The Boliq app

Your bollards, in your pocket

Optional app and SIM, £9.95 a month per bollard. Raise and lower from anywhere, set schedules, see each bollard's status and get alerts.
