Give A Little, Save A Lot: Benefits of the Bounce Back Bollard

Flexibility is becoming more and more of a need within manufacturing plants and distribution facilities across the country. With forklifts and hi-los buzzing around, machinery and walkways are being protected by bollards that “give a little” to save from damage to the vehicles as well as the flooring. There are a couple of different industrial-level flex bollards on the market but there is only one that will help you save on upfront and future costs, and that is Ideal Shield’s Bounce Back Bollard

Flexibility and Durability

One of the standout features of Ideal Shield’s Bounce Back Bollard is its ability to absorb and withstand impacts. Traditional bollards often require replacement after collisions due to damage to the post itself or to the flooring through ripped up anchors. The Bounce Back Bollard is engineered with a specially designed rubber flex system that allows it to flex up to 18 degrees before returning to its original upright position after impact. This flexibility not only reduces repair and replacement costs but also minimizes downtime due to bollard and flooring damage.

Cost Efficiency

Not only is the cost of the Bound Back Bollard lower than the main competition, by significantly reducing the need for frequent replacements or repairs, the Bounce Back Bollard is a more cost-effective solution over time as well. Competitors may offer rebound bollards that need frequent maintenance after damage, but Ideal Shield’s product is built to handle repeated collisions without requiring costly intervention. On top of that, the protection from the Bounce Back Bollard will save on machinery damage which can result in downtime and productivity loss.

Enhanced Safety

The Bounce Back Bollard not only protects property but also enhances employee and forklift driver safety. Featuring a schedule 40 U.S. steel post, its design is highly visible and shock-absorbent, ensuring that vehicles hitting the bollard do not suffer extensive damage. This creates a safer environment for drivers and employees, as well for the assets that are being protected.
