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.

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. Custom colors and sizes are also available by placing a special order with an Easy Rack specialist.
