What About BOB? Meet the Block Out Bollard

Innovative products is what drives us here at Ideal Shield. We’re known for taking common facility and maintenance items and improving them to help end users save on maintenance and repair costs. We were the original inventors of the plastic bumper post sleeve now known as the bollard cover, we were the original innovators of the plastic sleeved industrial guardrail and handrail systems, and now, we have our newest addition to our innovative product line: The Block Out Bollard

Featuring two 6″ x 48″ U.S. Steel Base Plated Bollards including one with an internal caution tape dispenser, the Block Out Bollard offers shop workers and safety managers the ability to temporarily tape off sections of the warehouse, manufacturing facility, distribution center, or retail aisleways, to keep out customers and other workers out of the red zones as forklifts or maintenance and repair teams work.

The Block Out Bollard’s internal caution tape dispenser has the ability to reach up to 29.5 feet in distance and features a connector end to attach to the opposing bollard. Both bollards in the set can be sleeved in your choice of compatible Bollard Cover, though we suggest using dome top covers in safety yellow or red to standout to forklift operators. 

What separates the Block Out Bollards from other options on the market, including portable bollards or caution tape stanchions, is the strength of the U.S. Steel Bollards. The Block Out Bollards can be installed near critical assets, like machinery, walkways, and storage racks, to help deter, deflect, and protect the assets from potential forklift or fork truck accidents.
