Original Energy Absorbing Bollards are now only available from Impact Absorbing Systems Pty Ltd as the Patent Holder and from Roadside Services and Solutions Pty Ltd as our exclusive worldwide distributors!
Until 2017 the Energy Absorbing Bollard (EAB) has also been called Omni-Stop Bollard by a previous licensee. In 2017 the licence agreement with the previous distributor expired and the Omni-Stop Bollard has been renamed the EAB - Energy Absorbing Bollard.

Energy Absorbing Bollards (EAB) is the only impact absorbing bollard currently approved by Australian Road Authorities.
