FAAC JS 80 HA EFO Automatic Retractable Security Bollard

The FAAC JS 80 HA EFO adds Emergency Fast Operation to the JS 80 HA platform. On an emergency command the cylinder rises at 500 mm/s, reaching full height in roughly 1.5 seconds instead of the six seconds of a normal cycle. That difference is what closes a lane against a vehicle already committed to the approach.

EFO is delivered by a separate hydraulic circuit holding a pressure reserve, with dedicated hoses and valves, so the emergency rise does not depend on the pump spooling up. Once triggered, the bollard cannot be lowered until the EFO unit has been reset, which prevents an operator from inadvertently reopening a lane during an incident.

Crash performance is identical to the standard JS 80 HA and is certified to PAS 68:2013, IWA 14-1:2013 and ASTM F2656/F2656M at penetration rating P1, arresting a 7,500 kg N3 truck at 80 km/h with 1,852,000 joules of break-in resistance. FAAC certifies the bollard as operational after impact.

Specify EFO where a guard force or control room needs a deliberate lockdown action: embassy and ministry entrances, data centre vehicle gates, airport airside access, and critical utility compounds. The bollard still runs ordinary traffic cycles at normal speed all day, with EFO reserved for the emergency input.

Stebilex handles JS 80 HA EFO supply, installation and commissioning throughout Saudi Arabia from Al Khobar and Riyadh, including integration of the emergency trigger with guard booths, control rooms and the wider access control system, plus operator training on reset procedure.
