How bollards help protect your workspace and inventory

Protecting assets and ensuring a safe working environment for your employees is an essential part of running a successful business. There are many ways to enhance the security of your building, such as alarms, locks and shutters; however, many overlook how much bolstering the perimeter of your businesses can help improve both the safety and security of your premises.

One effective solution is using bollards, especially telescopic bollards. At Bollard Security, all of our telescopic bollards have been awarded the Sold Secure and Secured by Design accreditations, testifying to the exceptional standard of security they provide.

They protect against threats such as theft and trespassers, safeguarding your workspace, staff and inventory. Let’s take a deeper look at how telescopic bollards can help fortify your business and enhance the resilience of your work and staff!

Prevent accidental collision

Telescopic anti-ram bollards, like our Dampy B 115/500 Semi-Automatic bollard, prevent vehicles from colliding (with staff or other vehicles) accidentally. This bollard is versatile, catering to both residential and commercial environments. Crafted with durability in mind, it’s constructed from Grade 316 stainless steel and hot-dipped galvanised steel, ensuring longevity and resilience on your business premises.

It can be raised and lowered at your convenience, helping manage authorised vehicles’ flow and keeping your staff. These bollards work well when situated in strategic locations around the perimeter of a workspace or inventory storage area and significantly reduce the risk of damage caused by vehicle raids.

Control access to your business

Bollards create a highly effective physical barrier and a powerful deterrent against unauthorised vehicles when placed on the perimeter of your premises. By clearly indicating controlled access with bollards, you can actively discourage potential intruders and prevent theft and vandalism. 

Our state-of-the-art SP100 PAS68 Telescopic Bollard offers unparalleled protection to valuable assets such as stock and company or staff vehicles, creating a strong sense of security, giving you peace of mind and ensuring the safety of your business.

The SP100 PAS68 Telescopic Bollard is the most affordable, dynamic, high-security solution to meet the BSI PAS 68 impact test rating. It’s also fitted with a lift-assist mechanism, reducing the bollard’s lifting weight by up to 60%. And it’s manually operable, requiring no power, ducting or rebar, making it just as effective during power cuts, so you can rest assured your premises are always protected against unwanted visitors. 

Manage traffic more effectively 

Bollards, such as our R8 Heavy Duty telescopic bollard, can effectively regulate traffic flow, making it easier to control and direct vehicles on your premises. This way, you can effectively manage who gains access to your property, as well as when and from where, creating a safer and more organised movement of vehicles and goods. The retractable function allows for more flexible traffic management than other access control methods.

The retractable function of telescopic bollards allows for more flexible traffic management than other access control methods, such as gates. Plus, the lock on the R8 Heavy Duty telescopic bollard is drill, pick, and tamper-proof and the keys are non-reproducible, ensuring a robust defence against unauthorised access. 

These are just a few ways bollards help protect your workspace and inventory. Bollards are a popular choice among businesses for providing the perfect security solution. Now you know why!
