Made from schedule 40 American-made pipe and fabricated right here in Detroit, Michigan, the “fold down” or “drop down” bollards are able to be lifted and placed to the ground in a matter of seconds so trucks and vans can drive over the pipe and access the area.
Flexible Bollard Protection
Sick of forklift accidents in the warehouse or shop? Looking for bollards that “give” a little to help lessen the impact and damage to vehicles? The Bounce Back Bollard is a surface mounted rebound bollard that was designed to absorb forklift impact energy and deflect up to 18 degrees before immediately returning to upright form. This design feature will limit damage to the forklift and the ground, which should save money on repairs.
Looking to just give a warning to customer vehicles in the parking lot that get a little too close to the curb? Sick of having to change out bollards after ever impact? The FlexPost Bollards are available in Standard and Heavy Duty options to meet the flexibility needs you’re looking to add to your lots. While both options are readily available, the Heavy Duty comes with a Lifetime Warranty on manufacturer defects if you’re expecting heavier and more consistent impacts.
