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.

Poly safety barricades create excellent displays at municipalities, parks, and amusement centers, and parking areas while providing traffic and crowd control at the same time.

Dock Barricades
This electric hydraulic dock safety barricade represents the next generation of innovative loading dock safety systems. It is built around an ergonomic electric lift that allows for quick and effortless operation. Simple up and down buttons make the unit easy to operate with one-touch convenience.

The dock barricade operates on a robust 1hp motor prewired for 115volts. It features 24volt control as just one of its many quality attributes. This barricade can be installed in a matter of minutes by simply lagging it to the floor and plugging it in.

Easy Rack also sells a mechanical winch version of the dock barricade for facilities where electrical power is either not available, not preferred, or unsafe.

Plastic Chain Barricades
Plastic and chain barricades are portable, lightweight units that are easy to position where needed the most. You can select from either floor-mounted or ground-stake design depending on the application. The chain snaps into position onto post hooks. Each unit includes two hooks per order.

Plastic and chain barricades come in white, yellow, and black colors. Overhead barricades are easy to assemble with snap-together parts. Posts are sold 4 to a box, and the chains are sold in rolls.

Metal Bollard Posts, Plastic Protective Barriers, Steel Pipe Bollards, Yellow Safety Stanchions from Easy Rack.

Metal bollards are extremely durable protective barriers and can handle impacts from a variety of material handling devices such as pallet racks, forklifts, and scissor lifts. Traffic bollards can be used to protect any sensitive storage area, storage materials and racks, and restricted access points including parking and loading docks.

Easy Rack offers four main categories of metal and pipe bollards in both used and new condition. While many are easy to install yourself, others require professional installation that Easy Rack will implement on your behalf upon request.

What are the best pipe bollards to use both indoors and outdoors to protect work areas, racking and personnel?
Steel Safety Bollards are the best general model to use in and around a facility. Manufactured with welded steel construction, each unit is powder coated with safety yellow finish. Molded rubber bollard caps are removable on 4½" and 5½" diameter units to allow for concrete infill. Steel caps are welded on the 1¾" diameter units.

Each base plate measures 8" x 8", on the 4.5 and 5.5 units (5" x 5" on the 1¾" units), and includes four pre-drilled mounting holes. Easy rack supplies mounting kits and replacement bollard caps when needed.

Do you have anything other than yellow bollards?
Yes, Easy Rack carries chrome-plated bollards for decorative needs. Chrome is a highly attractive metal on anything, including a bollard. Chrome-plated bollards will improve the image of your facility and at the same time protect people and equipment. Every unit is made of steel and finished with attractive bright chrome plating for a clean fresh look. A black plastic bollard cap or cover is removable to fill the pipe with concrete for greater strength and stability.

What is the most effective bollard for safety in hazardous areas?
Spring-loaded metal bollards provide maximum safety and protection. They are designed to serve as a visual and audible warning to personnel. They feature a unique spring-loaded bollard design will bend and not break like rigid bollards. This works to prevent damage to the bollard and to any equipment that may hit it.

Spring-loaded metal bollards can also be ordered with optional light/siren. The light/siren unit includes sensitive switches that will activate a strobe light and warning siren when contacted. The unit is highly energy efficient and operates with two 9V batteries (not included). Installation is simple—the light/siren slides directly into the top of the pipe.

Each bollard is manufactured from steel and includes a powder coat safety yellow finish. Bollards measure 42" high with a 2½" O.D.

Do you have metal bollards that allow for wide loads to fit through docks and corridors?
Yes. We recommend offset bollards for these settings. The unique design features of base plate will not interfere with traffic. Easy Rack ships a removable rubber top cap and black/yellow safety tape with every order. The heavy-duty welded steel construction with a powder coat safety yellow finish is standard.

Easy Rack carries a wide variety of safety gates, new & used pallet racks, material-handling equipment, commercial lighting, used pallet racks, and modular buildings installed nationwide. If you can not find what you are looking for call us toll free at 1-888-776-3720 and we will find it for you.

Heavy Duty Bollard Posts, Plastic Yellow Bollards, Safety Barriers, Traffic Bollards & Safety Equipment from Easy Rack

A great way to protect facilities, restricted areas, equipment, and sensitive materials is to use bollard posts. One or more of them will provide an effective barrier against industrial and material handling equipment impact but nevertheless allow pedestrian traffic to move freely into and out of areas.

Most bollard posts are made from steel and are treated with a powder coat finish, although some are painted with chrome for decorative purposes. In most industrial environments, the standard color is safety yellow because it provides high visibility at loading docks and ramps.

Although square bollard posts are used in some places, most Easy Rack clients prefer round steel bollard posts. Steel Bollard Posts are used outdoors to protect buildings and supplies and are also used inside warehouses to protect against forklift collisions.

Easy Rack also sells smoker's bollard posts that are designed specifically for cigarette smokers. They have proven themselves to be excellent motivators to encourage employees in the safe disposal of cigarettes that otherwise get tossed on the ground to burn near chemicals and shoes.

Each unite features a 1 ¼” diameter opening in the side of the post near the top for cigarette butt disposal. A removable top allows for the bollard to be periodically emptied. The top is lockable with a padlock to prevent unauthorized tampering and/or vandalism.

Folding bollards allow outdoor traffic areas to be closed to vehicles when the post is locked in the vertical position. When the way is clear, the bollard can be lowered to the ground to allow material handling equipment to roll safely over its surface.

This offers an excellent and very valuable safety feature for docks and loading ramps where people are working in the entranceway and vehicle traffic has to be temporarily stopped until they have completed their worked and cleared the way.

Bollard posts can be used to protect industrial shelving systems, mezzanine systems, pallet racks, commercial shelving, and sensitive equipment and supplies of all types. A wide variety of sizes are available through Easy Rack in both used and new condition. Easy Rack also supplies installation hardware and optional dome bases to cover obtruding installation bolts at the base of bollard posts.

Easy Rack supplies clients throughout the United States with 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.

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

Safety Bollards, Commercial Safety Barriers, Steel Bollard Posts, Plastic Bollard Covers & Traffic Supplies

Easy Rack bollards come in a wide range of sizes and mounting options, offering today’s warehouses and factories the full gamut of choices necessary to separating sensitive areas from areas of heavy traffic.

Our bollards are available in both new and used models, and we will drop ship and install them to any location in the United States.

What are steel pipe safety bollards?
This is the most common type of bollard and can be used both indoors and outdoors to protect work areas, racking and personnel.

What are smokers’ bollards?
Each unit features a removable top that is connected to the steel container that holds the butt, and it can be locked with a padlock or combination lock to secure the top.

How do offset steel bollards?
Unique design features offset base plate that won't interfere with traffic. The base plate includes 4 pre-drilled mounting holes.

Do you have any bollards that can be fixed in concrete?
Pour in place bollards can be set in concrete. The extra length of the Pour in Place Bollard allows you to maintain the needed height while fixing the bollard in concrete. Bollard comes with welded anchoring tabs and a removable cap so the bollard can be filled with concrete to increase its strength and durability. Powder coated yellow for high visibility.

What is the purpose of chrome-plated steel bollard?
Chrome-plated bollards add a more attractive touch to the environment. These units are made from a hollow steel core and feature a removable top cap that allows the core to be filled with concrete for greater strength and stability.

How do removable bollards work?
A removable Bollard comes with a sleeve that can be set in concrete to hold the bollard. When access is needed into an area that is protected by the bollard, simply lift the bollard out of the sleeve. Replace the bollard in its sleeve to reinstate the protective barrier. Powder coated yellow for high visibility. Sleeve is included.

What is the best use for a folding bollard?
