Bollard Systems

Why Bollard Systems are Needed

If you have a loading dock, it’s very important to have safety bollards and loading dock safety barriers to protect your building when trucks back into the loading docks to load or unload products.

Bollard systems or dock barricades serve as an important safety barrier to prevent damage from a truck or forklift.  They also are important for the driver of the truck. Bollard systems give the driver awareness of the width of the dock opening. This visual marker makes it much easier to align the truck bed opening to the dock opening.

In addition to the safety aspect of bollards, they’re also a good choice to guard the dock opening from being rammed by vehicles. Many times this is the method that thieves use while trying to steal from the warehouse. These bollards can easily be removed during regular operating hours.
