More About Bollards

Australia's Best Bollards

Organisations, as well as homeowners, utilise safety bollards to solve parking problems, control the movement of traffic and to secure an area. There are a wide range of bollards, with popular options like removable bollards that make it easy for you to reorganize them whenever needed. Others are designed to serve as a more permanent solution, so they may be strongly bolted to the ground.

They Can Be Categorised According to the Materials Used to Make Them

1. Stainless Steel. Manufactured from silver grade 304 stainless steel pipes and are 100% recyclable. These bollards are ideal for asset protection because they are very strong. You can rely on them for safeguarding an area.

2. Hot-Dipped Galvanised Steel. These are made of galvanised steel and designed to be strong. They are a more durable option because they prevent rust build-up on the surface. They are suited for areas where they are exposed to the outside weather like open parking lots and driveways.

3. Polyurethane. These are very flexible, and they can easily bounce back after impact without damage to the vehicle or extensive damage to the product. In some areas, they are placed to control traffic without any risk of causing damage if struck. They can weather most conditions and are not susceptible to rust.

4. Safety Yellow. These safety bollards are hot dipped galvanised and powder coated in vibrant yellow for people to easily identify them in poor light conditions. These are useful to reduce accidents or damage to the products. In some areas, the government may require safety-yellow paint to be used for better visibility of the product.

If you are looking for bollards in Australia, it is very likely that you have a specific requirement in mind. To help you in your selection, we have also categorised them according to special functions or features available.

Types Of Bollards

1. Surface Mounted. In-ground installation may not always be possible. In these cases you can use surface mounted bollards. They come with a base plate which can be bolted to the ground. The base plates are strongly welded to the product to ensure longevity. They are available in hot dipped galvanized steel as well as in stainless steel. They are ideal for use in shopping centers, warehouses, car parks, driveways, and around machinery.

2. In Ground. These bollards are permanently bolted down into place. They are designed with fully welded hold down bars or steel rod across the bollard which help you install them in new concrete footings.

   In ground variations can be used in parking areas, shopping centers and warehouses to control traffic and improve safety in the area. They can be stainless steel, or hot dipped galvanized and may be used in combination with wheel stops.

3. Removable. There are times when you don’t want your bollards to be permanently installed. It could be because the area experiences vehicular traffic at times and may need clearance. Or perhaps you are using them to safeguard assets but want to be able to move the assets when needed. Removable bollards are the perfect solution for these cases, as they come in both in ground and surface mounted options to suit every need. 

   Removable bollards include a sleeve which can be locked with a padlock and can then be removed whenever there is a need to free up the space. They are designed to be strong and durable and can be built using stainless steel or hot dipped galvanized steel.

4. Fold Down Parking. If you want to reserve your parking space so that other drivers do not use it, then the fold-down variation could solve your problem. These are designed to be installed on concrete surfaces with nuts and bolts. They are locked into an upright position and can’t be folded down until you use your key. Once it is unlocked and folded down, you can easily park your car. The ground clearance, when folded down, is 110mm.

   It can be used for organisations to reserve parking spaces for their staff, or used in crowded residential areas where people end up using your parking space without permission or authorisation. Enforcer Group’s fold-down bollards are built using hot-dipped galvanized steel and are powder coated in safety yellow. They include a red reflective band to be easily visible in poor visibility conditions.

5. Flexible. Enforcer Group manufactures our flexible bollards using polyurethane. They come in a high visibility colour and include a highly reflective tape for safety. The reason many people and organisations use them is because they can easily bounce back after impact. Another advantage of using flexible bollards is that they do not cause any damage to vehicles. They can be used along with speed humps for regulating, guiding, and separating traffic easily and safely.
