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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
