Bollards
Steel bollards provide visual warning to motorists and pedestrians. They are used to shield plant and equipment and are often positioned adjacent to doorways, providing protection for pedestrians. Steel bollards are design to withstand nuisance impacts, preventing damage to buildings and vehicle encroachment into pedestrian areas. Unlike continuous safety barriers, bollards maintain pedestrian access and can be positioned throughout the factory or warehouse to highlight hazards.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose of a steel bollard?
Steel bollards are installed to protect pedestrians, buildings, and infrastructure from accidental vehicle impacts. They also help define traffic flow and restrict access to sensitive or pedestrian-only areas.
Where should steel bollards be installed in a warehouse?
Bollards are typically installed near building entrances, pedestrian walkways, emergency exit doorways, and around structural columns or utilities exposed to vehicle traffic.
What is the size of a Safe Direction steel bollard?
Safe Direction steel bollards are 90 mm diameter and 900 mm high.
Is a steel bollard a safety barrier?
No. Steel bollards can withstand nuisance impacts, however they do not provide continuous barrier protection.
When would I install a steel bollard in preference to a safety barrier?
Since a safety barrier is continuous, they restrict the passage of pedestrians. Bollards are often preferred for areas that need to maintain pedestrian access.
What is the recommended spacing between bollards to facilitate pedestrian access?
A spacing of 1.2 m to 1.5 m prevents vehicle entry while allowing comfortable pedestrian movement.
What material is Safe Direction bollards made from?
Safe Direction bollards are manufactured from 5 mm thick steel.
