Safety Bollards | Steel & Plastic Suppliers

Bollards are short poles made of steel, concrete, iron or polymer plastic designed to keep traffic away from the public or protected or potentially dangerous areas.

Safety bollards can be used to divert traffic from storefronts and to restrict vehicles from specific areas of a carpark. Permanent bollards can be a legitimate, heavy duty barrier to stop errant cars from careering into public spaces. Retractable bollards can be a more visual barrier used to let some traffic in and some traffic out.

On an industrial front, bollards can be used to keep traffic – most particularly, forklifts – on the straight and narrow. They can be used to create a visible and, if necessary, sturdy barrier around stock stacked in easily crushable boxes. They can help to keep marauding forklifts where they belong – in rows of pallet racks – and away from where they don’t belong – in rows of shelving.

Essentially, safety bollards are a temporary or permanent fence, a visible barrier of varying strengths and equally varying applications.
