Traffic Barricades & Crowd Control

What types of traffic barricades do you sell?
Easy Rack sells traffic barricades in two basic designs. Poly cade barricades are made to resemble small “walls” that can be used to block off areas from people and vehicles. They can be used as standalone units, or they can be put together in tandem to make an artificial wall spanning a roadway, runway, or entire parking lot. Larger barrier traffic barricades are barrels that are constructed from special materials that can be filled with sand, gravel, or even water to make them heavy and resistant to large vehicle impact.

How can these traffic barricades be used?
They can be used to control both vehicle and human foot traffic in almost any public or commercial space. We see them almost every day in parking lots and roadways under construction. We also see them used to block off areas where hazardous materials are stored. Chemical companies typically use some sort of traffic barricade to prevent people and equipment from being damaged by exposure to dangerous materials and industrial bi-products. Many forms of machinery in large factories can also be potentially unsafe if untrained employees, clients, or visitors to the factory get to close.

Amusement parks frequently use orange traffic barricades to keep underage children away from areas intended only for adolescents and adults. In the material handling industry, some of our biggest poly cade traffic barricade customers are construction companies. These companies often buy large numbers and various sizes of both types of traffic barriers to actually create traffic control pathways on construction sites.

Because they are used much more outside than inside facilities, traffic barricades and post protectors are rust proof and UV resistant, making them both rain and sun proof as much as current technology permits.

What colors and sizes do these traffic barricades come in?
Orange traffic barriers are the brightest and most visible choices, and they are made even more visible to people by means of reflective striping that works as a mirror to natural and artificial light. In some settings the bright orange and silver color, however, looks unsightly. If you are setting up traffic control for a public official’s motorcade, for example, you don’t him or her to have the red carpet treatment, not the orange barrel treatment on the way to the speech. A granite or white barrier is more appropriate for such an event.

Other areas that often prefer traffic barricades in granite or white colors include corporate headquarters, public universities, libraries, and parks. Construction companies typically prefer orange or yellow as these are industry-standard safety colors.

How big are your traffic barricades?
Smaller poly cade traffic barriers can be as small as 70 lbs., while larger barrel barricades can be as heavy as 3,000+ when filled with sand. We will help you choose the right style, size, and filler if necessary, so do not hesitate to ask for advice from our team of specialists.

Removable, Decorative and Retractable Safety Bollards from Easy Rack Your Online Material Handling Distributor.

You can place removable bollards and safety barriers in front of certain areas to create a temporary barrier to protect equipment, personnel, and sensitive supplies. You can also use them to regulate traffic at access points. This is often necessary in environments that expanding their facilities through new construction or undertaking some form of renovation, or at times when production and distribution is at a higher than normal level of activity.

You can remove many of these decorative safety bollards are from their bases and take them out of the floor until they are needed again. The bases that support removable bollards remain attached to the floor at these times. Slipcovers will slide over the base when the bollards are removed. This prevents a hole from forming in the ground or in the floor and eliminates trip hazards by doing so.

Easy Rack carries three major categories of removable steel bollards with supporting articles each of which is designed to either be removed or repositioned to regulate traffic of various sorts.

Removable Ornamental Bollards
Removable ornamental bollards form an attractive, functional protective barrier against vehicle traffic. The bollard locks into a galvanized steel socket that cements to the ground. It is an ideal tool for regulating vehicle access and parking. Whenever you remove the bollard, a socket cover protects the hole, leaving no protrusion above the surface.

This bollard can be padlocked into place to prevent unauthorized removal and also includes eyes for attaching chain or rope.

Self-Storing Bollard with Door & Lock
This removable bollard is retractable. It is designed to slide down into the ground or floor when not needed. It is great for preventing access to parking areas. Every unit includes a sleeve that can be set in the ground with concrete. The retractable bollard has a handle in the top to allow for easy lifting and lowering. All you have to do is lift and lower it, then twist it to lock into. This retractable bollard includes locking tab for use with padlock (padlock not included) to prevent unauthorized removal.

Folding Bollards
Folding bollards work to create a removable barrier for parking control and security. The bollard can be raised to a vertical position and locked into place with a padlock. When you remove the padlock, you can lower the bollard to ground to allow for access. The base plate must be lagged to ground for proper installation. Easy Rack will perform the installation for you upon request.

Decorative Safety Bollards Provide an Attractive Traffic Control Solution for Pedestrians, Cars & Business Owners.

Sometimes it is not only necessary to protect certain areas and contents within a facility, but to also make those areas look a bit more polished and attractive to visitors and guests. Factories and warehouse often have to play host to corporate leadership, strategic partners, or big money investors who come by to “tour the facility” and quietly judge in the process. Decorative bollards are an excellent, affordable way of spiffing the place up for important guests.

Decorative safety bollards are also every bit as functional and practical as standard equivalents and can be counted on to protect equipment and supplies and safeguard areas of a facility from traffic and accidents.

Decorative bollards are also a great way to take a less is more approach to decoration because they are small and inexpensive in comparison to the more formal decorations required for decorating office space.

For a company who can afford to purchase new equipment, we recommend decorative, removable ornamental bollards whenever an upgrade becomes necessary. These units provide the same functional barrier to vehicle access and parking as stainless steel equivalents. They offer facilities the added value of a more attractive appearance and the convenience of portability.

Removable ornamental bollards can be locked into position by means of galvanized steel sockets cemented into the ground. This allows the bollard to be removed at will when required. The sockets have covers that slide into place to protect the hole and create a smooth surface area with no protrusions. This eliminates potential trip hazards and also prevents an unsightly hole from suddenly appearing in the concrete.

Decorative steel bollards can be padlocked in place to prevent unauthorized removal and also have eyes for attaching chain or rope.

For companies on tight procurement budgets, Easy Rack provides decorative bollard accessories that make standard steel bollards both more decorative and easier to maintain.

Bollard Caps
Decorative bollard caps are removable, unlike steel caps that are welded into place and cannot be removed. Using a removable cap allows you to fill the unit with concrete to increase its mass and resistance to accidental impact.

Decorative Bollard Covers
Easy Rack has eight styles and colors to choose from that add an entirely different look to existing units and eliminate the cost and time of having to repaint them. They minimize maintenance and improve appearance. This ¼” thick polyethylene thermoplastic material slides over your bollard. Many different styles and colors to choose from.

Safety bollards are visual markers, that prevent vehicles from hitting pedestrians, buildings and industrial equipment.

Have you ever heard of the term Bollard? Well, a bollard is thick, low post, usually of iron or steel, mounted on a wharf or the like, to which mooring lines from vessels are attached. Over the years bollards have migrated from the wharfs to many segments of the commercial and industrial markets. One of the most common uses of bollards today, among others, is vehicular safety. You know, the little yellow poles you see protecting gas pumps, sidewalks, drive thru windows, building entrances, loading docks, and parking lots. You also see bollards in the commercial lighting industry as pedestrian lights or path lighting.

Safety bollards not only serve as visual markers, they prevent pallet jacks, pushcarts, dollies and vehicles from entering certain areas or from hitting expensive buildings and equipment. Bollards and loading dock bumpers can prevent injuries and eliminate lawsuits from reckless drivers. Easy Rack carries a wide selection of steel pipe safety bollards in sizes from 24” to 48” in height and between 1-3/4” to 5-1/2” diameter. All Easy Rack bollards are double powder coated with a bright safety yellow finish and come with molded rubber caps that are removable on the 4½" and 5½" diameter units should you want to fill with concrete for added durability. Bollard base plates have welded steel construction and include four (4) pre-drilled mounting holes. Easy Rack has mounting kits, anchor bolts and replacement caps available too for your convenience.
