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.

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.

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.

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?
The folding bollard provides a secure, adjustable, barrier to secure areas. The bollard locks in the raised position with a padlock (padlock not included). When the padlock is removed, the bollard may be lowered to the ground to allow for access.

What is the best bollard to use when safety is highest in priority?
We recommend the spring-loaded steel bollard. It can be ordered with a light/siren option that adds a visual and audible warning to personnel. The unique spring-loaded design will bend and not break like rigid bollards. Unit is very energy efficient and only requires two 9-volt batteries to operate.
