Safety bollards are solid vertical posts usually constructed from steel pipe that protect the edge of overhead door openings, supporting beams, racking, personal work areas or any object that is in danger.
Bollards are ideal for protecting car parking bays, buildings and shop fronts. They can also be used to regulate pedestrian traffic flow and delineate pedestrian walkways.
Often, they are simply another form of security to prevent damage by vehicles to include trucks, skid steers, or forklifts in the work place. Bollards usually are mounted to the floor in one fashion or another and stand vertical as illustrated.
