Heavy Duty Potted Bollard - Heavy Duty Potted Steel Core Bollard

The Heavy Duty Potted Steel-Core Bollard is designed for demanding industrial and commercial environments where safety, durability, and visibility are critical. With a galvanised steel core for strength and a polymer cover for low-maintenance performance, it provides long-term protection against vehicle impact in high-traffic areas.

A key application is external level-access loading doors, where HGV trailers regularly reverse into buildings. In these zones, the bollard acts as a protective barrier, absorbing impact and preventing costly structural damage. The design ensures that collisions are absorbed by the bollard rather than the building or equipment, making it an essential safeguard for distribution centres, warehouses, and logistics hubs.

The addition of a 50mm reflective silver band makes the bollard highly visible in both day and night operations, supporting sites that operate 24/7 or have reduced lighting conditions. Combined with five standard colour options, the bollard integrates seamlessly into site safety strategies, providing clear visual warnings that support both compliance and practical traffic management.

• Green/White: Fire escape routes.
• Red/White: High-warning zones.
• Black/Yellow or Yellow/Black: General caution areas.
• Yellow: High-visibility safety marking.

These options allow facilities managers to colour-code bollards according to the specific risks and regulations within their site.

The cast-in potted installation with a universal socket depth of approximately 500mm ensures a strong, permanent fixing. Manufactured with a hot dip galvanised finish to BS EN ISO 1461 standards, the bollard is resistant to rust and weathering, making it equally effective indoors and outdoors. Heights of 960mm, 1260mm, and 1560mm are available, offering flexibility for different site layouts.

Beyond loading bay protection, these bollards are widely applied across industrial estates, warehouses, and commercial sites. Typical uses include:

• Safeguarding racking aisles and pedestrian walkways.
• Protecting building entrances, corners, and access routes.
• Defining traffic lanes in distribution yards.
• Securing fire exits, EV charging points, and utilities.
• Providing robust protection in car parks and delivery zones.

By combining strength, visibility, and low maintenance, the Heavy Duty Potted Steel-Core Bollard delivers cost-effective, reliable site protection. It supports compliance with warehouse safety guidance such as PAS 13, helping to reduce collision-related downtime while ensuring the safety of people, vehicles, and infrastructure.
