Why is my automatic bollard rising slowly or sticking?

The pit is the usual culprit. If the drain has blocked, water and sand collect around the post and slow it down. On a hydraulic unit, a worn seal or low fluid causes the same problem. A dry or dirty guide can also make the movement stiff.

Clearing the drain and cleaning the pit often restores normal movement, but a hydraulic fault or a failed drive needs a technician. Qasar Al Neil Automatic Doors can test the unit, clear the pit and repair the drive or seals.
