Product Applications for our Bollards and Protection Posts:

  • ImpactSAFE Heavy Duty Bollard and Protection Bollard: have been independently tested by TÜV NORD to PAS 13 standards. Built to withstand high-impact collisions, these heavy-duty bollards are ideal for safeguarding areas prone to vehicular traffic, such as loading docks, parking lots, and industrial settings. They provide exceptional protection for buildings, equipment, and personnel.
  • Drop Core Bollard: Designed for flexible security, drop core bollards are perfect for access control points and pedestrian safety zones. Easily retractable when needed, they provide a versatile solution for managing traffic flow in retail areas, schools, and event venues. Suitable for warehouse regulations with 5 different colours to suit fire hazard, caution areas, and high warning areas. To compliment this the bollards, incorporate a 50mm reflective band ideal for external access loading doors, where HGV trailers reverse in and out of industrial buildings.
  • Heavy Duty Potted Bollard: This bollard presents a permanent security solution for areas requiring robust protection. Unlike the retractable Drop Core Bollard, the Heavy Duty Potted Bollard provides continuous security against vehicular entry, making it ideal for safeguarding the peripheries of commercial properties, walkways, and sensitive zones against vehicle-related accidents. Its durable build and compatibility with various architectural designs offer both protective and aesthetic advantages to business districts, campuses, and retail environments.
  • Impact Safe Protection Post: Protection posts are essential for shielding vulnerable structures like building corners and machinery from accidental damage. They are a cost-effective, highly visible way to prevent costly repairs and ensure the safety of your workspace.
  • Bollard Cover Kits: Bollard covers not only enhance the visibility of safety measures but also provide protection against wear and tear. They feature highly visible colours that never require painting and include a diamond-grade reflective band for improved visibility. These kits are excellent for maintaining a polished appearance in commercial spaces while reinforcing safety. The Bollard Cover Kit (1560mm high) is perfect for loading bay use, while the Bollard Cover Kit (1260mm high) secures columns and electrical appliances within the warehouse. Additionally, the Bollard Cover Kits (960mm high) are ideal for walkways and staff entrances.
  • Door Protection Goal Posts: These goal posts are designed to prevent collisions with doors and entrances. They’re commonly used in busy warehouses, distribution centres, and commercial facilities to safeguard entryways from accidental vehicle impact, reducing repair expenses and downtime.

Invest in safety bollards to safeguard your premises, protect assets, and create a secure environment for everyone. Whether you need heavy-duty protection or versatile access control, our range of bollards has you covered.

Materials and Impact Resistance: Brandsafe bollards and protection posts are typically constructed from high-strength materials such as steel and polymer.

  • Steel Bollards: Designed to resist impacts through their inherent strength and durability.
  • Polymer Bollards: Engineered to flex upon impact and then return to their original shape. This flexibility allows them to absorb and dissipate energy, making them highly impact-resistant.

Please check each individual product data sheet for the tested impact energy rating.

Yes, our bollards are suitable for both vehicle and pedestrian protection.

  • Vehicle Protection: They act as barriers to prevent accidental collisions with buildings, infrastructure, or other vehicles.
  • Pedestrian Protection: Bollards can create safe zones for pedestrians by defining walkways and preventing vehicle intrusion.

Colour Variations:

  • Yellow & Grey: Safety
  • Yellow & Blue: Hi-Vis
  • Black & Yellow: Hazard recognition
  • Red & White: Warning recognition
  • Green & White: Fire exit recognition
  • Custom Colours: Available on request

Customisation: We offer a range of customisation options for our bollards, including design and colour. Customers can select from various styles, finishes, and colours to match the aesthetic requirements of their specific environment. Customising bollards not only enhances their functionality but also contributes to the overall look and feel of the space.

Brandsafe bollards are engineered for robustness and straightforward installation. We highly recommend utilising our comprehensive supply and install service to ensure optimal installation. However, we understand this might not always be feasible. In such cases, installation should be conducted by professionals with expertise in workplace safety installations, such as site, facilities, or warehouse maintenance staff with the necessary experience.

Support and Services:

  • Expert Advice: Our team is available to discuss your specific needs and offer tailored recommendations.
  • Low Maintenance: Crafted primarily from High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE), our bollards require minimal upkeep and need replacement only after enduring frequent, major impacts.
  • Easy-to-Fit Cover Kits: We provide hassle-free, slide-over polymer cover kits, eliminating the need for regular repainting.
  • Shock Absorbing Features: Select bollards are equipped with ‘High Impact Rubber Buffers,’ designed to reduce stress on fixings and the installation surface, enhancing overall safety and durability.

At Brandsafe, part of the IWS Group, we utilise a specialised testing facility equipped with a custom-built pendulum to simulate impacts at varying weights and speeds on our polymer bollards. This rigorous testing process ensures that our products meet the PAS 13 standards for impact resistance and durability, as verified independently by TÜV Nord. Unlike barriers that are untested and unverified, our PAS 13-certified barriers consistently deliver reliable quality and performance, ensuring that they meet stringent safety requirements.

Replace bollards to ensure safety when:

  1. Visible Damage: Cracks, dents, or severe abrasions weaken their protective ability.
  2. Frequent Impacts: Repeated vehicle strikes degrade material integrity.
  3. Corrosion or Rust: Metal bollards showing rust or corrosion need replacement.
  4. Misalignment: Bollards that are out of alignment may not function properly.
  5. Regulatory Changes: Update bollards to meet new safety standards.
  6. Environmental Degradation: Bollards in harsh conditions deteriorate faster and should be inspected more frequently.

Regular inspections, ideally annually, or more often in high-traffic or harsh environments, help identify when replacements are necessary to maintain maximum safety. Contact us today for a free health and safety consultation.

Polymer bollards are best utilised in areas requiring protection against potentially lethal high-impact energy incidents and are also ideal for environments where aesthetics and visibility are crucial. They excel in locations with frequent minor impacts, as their ability to deflect and reform offers long-term savings compared to traditional bollards, enhancing durability and investment return. Suitable for indoor and outdoor settings, these bollards effectively manage traffic and protect structures in pedestrian areas, parking lots, and around retail or public spaces. Additionally, their non-toxic, easy-to-clean material makes them ideal for food production facilities and other environments requiring hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Polymer bollards are designed to protect assets by flexing upon impact, utilising a predefined deflection range. This deflection range is carefully considered during installation to ensure that any assets behind the bollards are fully shielded in the event of a direct collision. The ability of these bollards to absorb and dissipate energy minimises the force transmitted to the protected assets, significantly reducing the risk of damage. This makes them particularly effective in safeguarding critical infrastructure and pedestrian areas from vehicle impacts.

Yes, Brandsafe bollards can be effectively used in cold storage environments. Our bollards, especially those made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), are designed to withstand extreme temperatures. This makes them ideal for maintaining safety and protection in cold storage settings. HDPE bollards are resistant to temperature fluctuations and do not become brittle, ensuring they remain durable and effective even in sub-zero conditions.
