Loading Dock Bollards
What is a Bollard?
A loading dock bollard is a strong vertical post used to create a physical barrier that helps protect people, buildings, equipment, and traffic areas. In loading dock settings, parking bollards are commonly placed on both sides of a dock door to shield door tracks, dock openings, and dock lifts from accidental impact. They may be installed indoors or outdoors, used as a bollard barrier in high traffic zones, or added as part of an overall access control plan to guide vehicle movement.
