Overview
Flexible bollards are designed to protect vehicles and property while reducing damage during accidental bumps. Unlike rigid concrete bollards, these flex bollards bend and return to position after impact. Each flexible bollard post uses a strong carbon steel spring that allows full 360° movement.
The bollard comes with a durable HDPE cover, eliminating the need for painting and providing a clean, professional look. Covers are available in different colors and can include custom logos for branding. Available in standard and heavy-duty models, these bollard posts are ideal for high-traffic areas where safety and flexibility are essential.
