Why Safety Bollards are a must-have in car parks and industrial workplaces

Safety bollards are an effective asset protection measure that not only keeps people safe, but also protects your valuable assets and property from theft, damage, and vandalism. They come in many different shapes and sizes, as well as materials and colours, and can be customised to your needs in terms of cost, aesthetics, durability, corrosion resistance, and weight capacity.

Selecting the right type of bollard for your security needs

Structural steel bollards come in a variety of shapes and sizes. They’re typically made from either steel or aluminium. For durability, they’re usually powder coated to prevent rusting and keep them looking sleek. There are many different kinds of bollards that can be used for security purposes and the first step to selecting which type will work best for your business is understanding what security needs you’re trying to fill. Are you trying to protect against theft, vandalism, or vehicle crashes? Your answers will determine which types of bollards you should purchase.

How to choose between fixed and removable bollards

If you’re considering installing security bollards in your company’s parking lot, you probably have some questions about which style is best for your particular location. There are several factors to consider, such as design and aesthetics. You’ll also want to make sure that retractable posts meet your state’s requirements for secure fencing and that they comply with local building codes.

Fixed bollards can be installed as surface mount or in-ground options. These types of bollards are generally in plain galvanised or galvanised/powder-coated finishes and can come with reflective tape or steel rings to attach chain to. Fixed bollards help decrease property damage due to vehicle accidents by obstructing an attacker’s line of sight before he even reaches the property’s perimeter fence or gate. Removable bollards are generally installed close to the building or roller door and are able to be quickly removed when permitted access is required.

What factors should be considered when choosing an installation method?

Consider how difficult it will be to get machinery, vehicles, or people into your parking lot. If you want to restrict access for vehicles, you’ll need to consider how easy it is for vehicles to get into your parking lot, as well as how long entry will take each time (and whether customers/visitors will mind that). If you want to restrict pedestrian traffic, also think about what kind of foot traffic frequent your building. Is there regular heavy foot traffic? People who need assistance? What about delivery trucks? This is an important step because there isn’t one type of parking lot that works best for every situation. Always consider who will be accessing your space and plan accordingly.

How do I identify a good bollard manufacture?

Think of your organisation’s assets as your business’s most valuable assets. It should go without saying that you want to protect them. To do so, it’s not enough to simply find an inexpensive supplier; rather, you need to know whether their products have been designed with asset protection in mind.

Here are three ways to tell if the manufacturer you’re considering is the right one for your needs:

  • If they use galvanised steel, rather than metal coated with paint or powder, then they’ve invested in a more durable product.
  • You can also tell if they’re investing in quality by looking at their specifications. If they list specific testing criteria like resistance to corrosion, impact strength and abrasion resistance (among others), then they’re producing high quality bollards that will serve well for many years – even decades – to come.
