With the Federal election coming up on Saturday the 18th of May, everyone is busy figuring out where they are to vote and how many people they’ll have to stand with to get the voting done. With over 16,000,000 people lining up to vote, time and effort will ultimately need to be put into organising and structuring polling areas. One effective way to assist in this is the introduction of temporary T-top Hi-Vis Orange PVC bollards to structure pedestrians into neat and flowing lines. These T-Top Hi-Vis Orange PVC bollards can be used as non-permanent crowd control bar  ...read more

The Pacific Fair Shopping Centre is one of the Gold Coast’s tourist hotspots. It gets a lot of traffic from all over the world and it is important to keep shoppers safe as they go about their day. Point Parking, the company that manages Pacific Fair’s parking setup, recently teamed up with Australian Bollards to install metal speed humps at pedestrian crossings to provide a traffic calming solution for the parking lot. Metal speed humps have greater wear resistance than rubber. They are also ideal for areas with heavy vehicles, such as loading docks and bus in  ...read more

Australian Bollards is now offering EDS (Electronic Display Solutions) screens for rent.

EDS screens are designed to integrate with existing networks, allowing real-time updates. If you need to advertise an event, a reusable electronic sign is a great alternative to a printed one which wi  ...read more

NASA’s Mars lander, InSight, has finally arrived at the red planet. After a hot, tense ride through the atmosphere, the probe successfully touched down and photographed the landing site. Elysium Planitia has been called the “Biggest Parking Lot on Mars” for its flat terrain and is a calm place perfect for taking scientific measurements over the next two years. Unlike previous missions, which literally scratched the surface, InSight has a probe which is designed to dig 5 metres into the ground and measure how much heat is coming up from deep within Mars. The   ...read more

NBN Co. recently partnered with the Australian Bollards to install a Ned Kelly Bike Rack system at their Digital Harbour facility in the Docklands. This move will encourage employees to commute by bike, reducing their carbon footprint as well as peak hour congestion. By storing bicycles vertically, NK-2000 bike racks minimize the amount of space they take up in the parking area. The racks can be bolted to an existing wall or a dedicated metal frame, as is the case at Digital Harbour. In addition to the new bike racks, employees now have access to a bike repair statio  ...read more

Emergency help systems are often limited to particular situations and locations: panic buttons in taxis and banks allow staff to quickly and quietly ask for help, while in trains, passengers can communicate with the train driver through emergency intercoms. Medical alarms are also popular for good reasons, giving the sick and elderly the option to call for help without having to navigate complicated technology. But you don’t see emergency help systems in the streets, on beaches, in car parks, ATMS or bus stops, although these places could easily be the scene of a crime o  ...read more
