When underground infrastructure leaves little room to excavate, deep-mount bollards may be difficult to accommodate. The Global GRAB Talon M40 Super Shallow Mount Bollard System provides crash-rated anti-ram protection with a foundation depth of just 4 inches, making it an option for constrained sidewalks and perimeter installations.
Talon addresses projects where foundation depth is a central design constraint. Its prefabricated construction reduces on-site assembly work, while its square steel profile offers a distinctive alternative to conventional round security posts.
Super-Shallow Installation for Restricted Sites
The SSB-800 combines M40/P1 performance with a super-shallow foundation. The crash rating applies to the specified three-bollard array, so the foundation arrangement and complete layout are part of the protection system.
- 4-inch foundation depth: An option where buried infrastructure limits deeper excavation.
- M40/P1 crash performance: Rated for the specified array configuration.
- Prefabricated construction: Reduces the amount of assembly required at the installation site.
- No field welding: The manufacturer describes installation without on-site tying, bolting or welding for the specified configuration.
- Square steel profile: A 12-by-12-inch bollard section provides a substantial, clearly defined perimeter presence.

Applications Where Depth Makes the Difference
- Existing city sidewalks: Consider anti-ram protection where underground services restrict foundation depth.
- Airport terminals: Plan vehicle protection around pedestrian and terminal frontage areas.
- Parking decks: Evaluate a super-shallow system where structural and foundation constraints require careful coordination.
- Sites above tunnels or subsurface infrastructure: Address vehicle protection where conventional deep foundations are impractical.
Review the Complete Foundation Footprint
A shallow installation reduces excavation depth, but the array still needs an approved foundation footprint beneath the finished surface. Plan bollard locations together with utility routes, pavement edges and pedestrian openings.
Where the protection line changes direction or crosses a grade transition, coordinate the arrangement before installation. A project-specific review helps establish how the required array fits the site.
The Rating Applies to the Array
Talon’s M40/P1 classification requires the specified three-bollard installation. An individual post should not be assumed to provide that rating. Follow the approved foundation, spacing and installation details for the supplied configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Talon require only a 4-inch foundation?
The manufacturer specifies a 4-inch foundation depth. Suitability also depends on the complete foundation footprint, ground conditions and the approved installation details.
Is one Talon bollard independently M40/P1 rated?
No. The published rating requires the specified three-bollard array. The bollards and foundation must be installed as the approved system.
Can Talon be used above underground utilities?
Its super-shallow foundation makes it an option where deeper excavation would be difficult. Utility locations and required clearances must still be checked against the proposed foundation.
Is Talon suitable for a parking deck?
Parking decks are among the manufacturer’s listed applications. A qualified project engineer must confirm structural suitability, load requirements and installation details for the specific deck.
How does Talon differ from Hornet M30?
Talon SSB-800 uses a 4-inch foundation and carries an M40/P1 classification for its specified array. Hornet SMB-400 uses a 12-inch foundation and carries M30/P1. Select the system according to the site’s required performance and foundation constraints.
