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.
