Vestil Spring Loaded Safety Bollards

Vestil Spring Loaded Safety Bollards That Bend on Impact and Reduce Damage

Traditional rigid bollards do one thing well: they stop impacts. But in certain areas, repeated contact is expected. Think tight aisles, frequent turns, and high-traffic pedestrian crossings where forklifts and carts occasionally bump protection posts. In those situations, a rigid bollard can transfer force back into equipment, rack systems, or the bollard itself, leading to bent posts, damaged anchors, and ongoing maintenance.

Spring loaded bollards are built for these environments. Instead of resisting every impact with a hard stop, they flex up to 30 degrees and return to position, reducing damage and extending service life.

Models and Specifications:

♦ SPBOL-42, Steel Bollard. 42" high x 2-1/8" outside diameter. Base plate 5-1/4" x 5-1/4".
♦ SPBOL-42-BL, Bollard with Beeper & Strobe. 42" high x 2-1/8" outside diameter. Base plate 5-1/4" x 5-1/4".

Selecting the Right Model:

♦ Alert needs: choose SPBOL-42-BL when contact should trigger an audible beeper and strobe light alert, or SPBOL-42 for standard flex protection without alerts.
♦ Traffic type: use spring-loaded bollards specifically in tight aisles, frequent turns, and pedestrian crossings where repeated contact is expected.
♦ Maintenance goals: choose flex protection over rigid bollards to reduce bent posts, damaged anchors, and recurring repair costs.

Where Commonly Used:

♦ Tight Aisles and Frequent Turns: spring-loaded bollards flex instead of transferring force into equipment.
♦ Pedestrian Crossings, the beeper and strobe option alerts nearby workers to contact events.
♦ High-Traffic Areas: flexible bollards extend service life where repeated contact is expected.
♦ Rack Systems and Equipment: reduced impact transfer helps protect nearby structures from damage.
