Impact Protection: Steel Pipe Bollards

Industrial properties like warehouses and factories consist of many people arriving in heavily laden vehicles, operating large machinery, and transporting heavy containers of goods. In such a complex and high-traffic space, safety is a big concern. Industrial steel bollard posts can be installed to increase safety and impact protection in your warehouse.

What Are Steel Pipe Bollards?

To put it simply, bollards are short, sturdy vertical posts that are used to protect the perimeter of an area and ensure safety and security for those around them. Bollards keep you, your building, and your employees safe.

In order to increase protection and add traffic-stopping power, bollards made of structural grade steel may be filled with concrete. ACT’s steel pipe safety bollards’ plastic top caps are removable, so that you can easily fill your bollard with concrete. The pipe adds strength, while the concrete helps the pipe resist buckling or collapsing at the point of impact. If your warehouse does not need concrete-filled bollards, the steel pipe bollards can be closed up with the removable top caps to keep moisture and other objects from getting inside your bollards.

Why Does My Warehouse Facility Need Steel or Stainless Steel Pipe Bollards?

Loading docks take a beating. Even the best drivers have difficulty maneuvering large and heavy delivery trucks. To help protect the loading dock areas, you can surround the building walls, loading ramps and high bay doors with steel pipe bollards, or for more environmental protection, stainless steel pipe bollards.

Bollards on either side of the loading bay will serve as a visual guide for your warehouse truck operator to get long semi-trailers into the correct position. These bollards will protect your facility from damage due to repeated low-speed impact from heavy vehicles. When placing steel pipe bollards on the raised bay for visual guidance, you can use embedded steel or Bolt-Down Bollards . Collapisble Bollards

Why Would I Need Post Guard Bollard Covers?
