Traffic Barriers, Parking Baricades, Portable Barricades, Orange Safety Cones and Poly Traffic Barriers Online.

Traffic Barricades and traffic bollards cordon off space between pedestrians and vehicle traffic and help to protect materials, supplies, equipment, and sensitive areas from accidental vehicle collision. Traffic barriers work to direct the flow of cars and trucks into and out of a facility. Overhead barriers protect equipment within buildings, and parking barricades create a portable, convenient, and safe method of regulating vehicle movements during important events. They also give a clear, visible warning to oncoming drivers that traffic in a certain area has been restricted and caution needs to be exercised.

Easy Rack supplies a number of safety barricades in both used and new models and drop ships them directly to your facility anywhere within the United States.

Poly Barricades
Poly traffic barricades are lightweight, portable devices that can be placed in parking lots or entry points in a matter of seconds. In situations where a heavier vehicle barricade is required, poly traffic barricades can be filled with liquid or sand for added weight. Each safety barricade features a 4” fill cap and 2” drain and a 520-pound fill weight. The colors of these barricades are ideal for applications where appearance is an issue. A 60-gallon orange model is available through Easy Rack, as well as a 70-gallon gray unit.

Crowd Control Barriers, Traffic Bollards, Gaurd Rails, Poly Barricades & Curved Steel Gaurd Rails at Discount Prices.

Easy Rack Guard Rail Systems allow you to custom build effective and powerful crowd control barricades. Easy Rack guardrails are both sturdy and customizable; and you can choose galvanized models, poly barricades or our structural c-channel guard rails when constructing your vehicle and crowd barricades.

Both galvanized and c-channel guardrails are built to deliver maximum durability and protection. They can be used to create crowd barricades ranging from one, two, or three rail high systems. The tubular posts upon which they are mounted are machined for continuous or perpendicular rail mounting.

US D.O.T. guardrail mounting and I-beam posts can also be ordered from your Easy Rack specialist, who will supply you as well with post mounting hardware included in your order.

Floor mounting kits can also be ordered separately from Easy Rack.

Galvanized Guard Rail
A double guard rail system makes for an excellent crowd control and vehicle impact barrier and is easy to create by mounting two rails onto a single post. This enables the barrier to protect both a higher area and a larger perimeter.

For locations where vehicle impact is just as much a concern as crowd control, barriers can be constructed by mounting overlapping rails to spring post. Your Easy Rack expert can help you customize rail and post lengths and also equip you with flexible poles for maximum torque/impact absorption.

90º Curved Galvanized Guard Rails
To build an effective crowd control barrier around the corner of a perimeter, we recommend you use curved galvanized guardrails angled at 90 degrees. This helps direct traffic around the corners of parking lots at outdoor events and festivals. It also works good at corners of driveways to direct traffic.

Specialty End Guards
Heavy-duty end guards protect your crowd control barricades from vandalism and vehicle impact on railing ends. They attach easily to the ends or corner connections of any railing system.

C-Channel Guard Rail Systems
Barricades built out of C-Channel guardrails add maximum strength and protection to crowd control. Their drop in place design protects personnel and machinery and makes assembly and disassemble quick and safe. The rails can be removed in a matter of seconds. Easy Rack customizes rail lengths upon request.

A drop-in and bolt-on style rail design can also be purchased that enables you to create a crowd control barrier that is super impact resistant and highly visible with a powder coat safety yellow finish.

Do You Use Forklift Work Platform Attachments, Industrial Step Ladders, Scaffolding or Manlifts?

Have you considered using your forklift as a ladder or working platform?
Forklift work platform attachments are a simple to use alternative to other types of elevated working platforms that will enable staff to use the lifting potential of the fork lift truck to get them into a place where they can carry out inspection or maintenance work at a high level. The platform provides staff with a decent sized place in which to work, and dependent on the actual design of the model that you choose, you will be able to carry out a wide variety of tasks that otherwise would have required a specific platform. They are also safer than some industrial ladders.

Are forklift work platforms safe and easy to use?
Forklift attached work platforms are safe and user friendly. All that is required for them is to slide the standard forks into the channels that form the base of the platform, and for it to be lifted. The platform is stable in use, and has a capacity that is sufficient for at least two employees to work comfortably without risk. Any lifting is subject to the limits imposed on the overall system by the fork lift truck rating that is being used.

Do fork lift workstations have specific safety features I should know about?
A safety chain needs to be fastened to the actual forklift truck to secure the forklift platform attachment. Next safety bars must be locked into place so that they securely protect the occupants. In addition to these basic precautions it is also suggested that users fasten themselves securely to the actual platform with a lanyard to prevent accidental falls.

Easy Rack carries a wide variety of commercial shelving, material handling equipment, commercial lighting, used pallet racks, and modular prefab buildings installed nationwide.

Industrial, Folding, Safety, Security, Steel & Folding Gates from Easy Rack.

One excellent way to create temporary barriers to keep areas free from traffic and safe for workers to perform tasks is to use industrial gates. Industrial, folding, safety, and steel gates may be used both indoors and outdoors. Folding gates can function as stand alone units or units connected in a series to form longer barriers. Steel gates can be placed in front of sensitive areas at night to help security guards regulate access to the building. Other models can be setup indoors by cleaning crews who need to keep wet floors off limits to pedestrians and vehicles. Safety gates and barriers provide construction crews with a means of sectioning off piles of debris that occasionally accumulate during the course of the day.

Easy Rack ships both used and new industrial gates, folding gates, safety gates, and steel scissor folding gates in a wide range of sizes to factories and warehouses all over the United States. Easy Rack specialists will consult with you over the phone and help you choose the right security gates and industrial gates for your facility at no charge for their time.

The following are just a few of the many steel and folding gates that you can choose from.

Expand-A-Gate

The expand-a-gate is an ideal stand-alone barrier that is designed to temporarily prohibit access to areas for cleaning or safety concerns. It expands from a collapsed width of 14.5" to 144". It can be used alone, or linked with other expand-a-gates end-to-end to form longer runs. This is especially useful to construction operations that may need to section off half of an entire new floor. The Expand-A-Gate is made with heavy-duty construction and painted with a yellow & black finish. It is available in all steel or all aluminum construction.

All Galvanized Folding Gates and Portable Gates
These 15-gauge steel folding gates are made with fast installation foremost in mind. You can use them to secure outside access during the day and add security at night with heavy-duty 3" rubber casters that allow the operator to quickly and fully retract gate when not in use. The center drop pin rests in a pre-drilled hole and secures the steel gate when extended. A lock located on the right side of single gates prevents unauthorized removal. Each folding gate is constructed of steel U-channels riveted back-to-back using aircraft quality rivets and heavy-duty 1½" x 1½" vertical angles. It is then galvanized for durability.

Easy Rack includes all necessary installation hardware with your order.

Contact Easy Rack directly for a full range of steel gate sizes.

Portable Gate
Portable gates are great tools for many applications. You can use them to block equipment, personnel and entrances. They also make very useful barriers for security both inside and outside of buildings. Portable gates expand and lock to close off any opening. When they are not in use, simply fold them up, roll away and store. Porch mounted gates are good for handicap areas.

Easy Rack supplies an optional add-on section to create larger runs.

Bollard Posts are often used to Protect Buildings, Employees, Customers from Injuries caused by Vehicular Collisions.

Commercial bollard posts protect facilities, restricted areas, equipment, and sensitive materials. One or more bollard post(s) will provide an effective barrier against industrial and material handling equipment impact. At the same time, they allow pedestrian traffic to move freely into and out of areas and protect workers and customers from injury.

Most bollard posts are made from steel and are treated with a powder coat finish. The standard color is safety yellow because it provides high visibility.

Steel Bollard Posts are often used outdoors to protect buildings and supplies from equipment impact. They are also used inside warehouses to protect against forklift collisions. Smaller unites measuring 4 ½” and 5 ½” diameter are tipped with moulded rubber caps that allow installers to pour concrete into the bollard to fix it more firmly to the floor. This is often necessary in places where extremely heavy equipment is passing near sensitive materials and the barrier has to be extra strong to withstand and accidental impact.

Easy Rack also supplies a smokers bollard post designed specifically for cigarette smokers. It is the perfect device for safe disposal of cigarettes or cigars that otherwise get tossed on the ground. A removable top allows for the bollard to be periodically emptied.

Easy Rack also carries ornamental bollards for decorative use around landscaping, building front entrances, special parking areas, and driveways. These posts consist of the same steel manufacture as other bollards but are coated with a bright chrome finish to make them more decorative and professional looking.

Bollard posts can be placed in front of and around industrial storage racks, mezzanine systems, pallet racks, and commercial shelving. A wide range of sizes is available through Easy Rack in both used and new condition. We also supply installation hardware and optional dome bases to cover obtruding installation bolts at the base of bollard posts.

Easy Rack is a full service material handling online superstore with a wide variety of commercial shelving, material handling equipment, commercial lighting, used pallet racks, and modular prefab buildings installed nationwide.

Concrete Bollards Provide The Ultimate In Pedestrian Safety & Traffic Control.

When are concrete bollards needed?
In areas where very large forklifts, trucks, or service vehicles are passing through an area, a standard metal bollard may not provide sufficient resistance against an impact to fully stop its collision. A lightweight bollard will often bend or break out of its base if hit with sufficient force. This destroys both the bollard and whatever the bollard was protecting, and the costs of this loss can easily mount into the thousands of dollars from ruined material and possible liabilities resulting from spillage of hazardous chemicals.

Concrete bollards provide an extra level of protection in such cases. Larger concrete bollards are often used restrict vehicle traffic around loading docks, loading ramps, and gates. Smaller pour on place bollards provide excellent safeguards for protecting pallet racks, industrial storage racks, and shelving units located within the warehouse. Factories also occasionally use concrete bollards to form protective barriers around heavy machinery and heating/cooling pumps.

How do concrete bollards work?
They are fixed into the concrete itself and can be filled with concrete to provide a heavier, more durable protective barrier against collision. Bollards made for concrete infill are hollow on the inside and are longer than their standard equivalents. The extra length allows you to fix them into a concrete floor without sacrificing the necessary height to form an effective barrier. The hollow interior allows you to fill the bollard with concrete to increase its strength and durability against impact.

What sizes are available?
Pour in place bollards range in usable height from 24” to 48” and weigh between 44 and 88 pounds.

Can we install concrete bollards ourselves?
Yes. Concrete bollards are made with welded anchoring tabs that allow you to accurately align and fix the bollard into a concrete floor or parking area. The process itself is simple, but time consuming. For those able to coordinate their own self-installation, welded anchoring tabs that allow you to accurately position and align the bollard in a concrete base. The bollard caps are removable to allow for convenient concrete infilling.

The process is simple enough, but it can be time consuming based upon the size of your pour in place bollards and where you intend on positioning them. If you cannot afford the downtime or overtime necessary to have your own employees install them, Easy Rack will setup your concrete bollard posts for you.

We drop ship and install throughout the United States, and we have used models available at discounts up to 40%.

If you are uncertain as to whether or not your company needs the added protection of concrete pour in place bollards, do not hesitate to call an Easy Rack specialist for a free consultation on selecting the best models for your particular facility.
