Impact Protection Bollards

 

Physical Protection with Purpose – How Impact Protection Bollards Safeguard Your Infrastructure Long-Term

Impact protection bollards are far more than just visible safety markers: they represent a strategic investment in operational safety, asset preservation, and insurance risk mitigation. Especially at loading docks—where heavy vehicles such as trucks, forklifts, or reach trucks maneuver in tight spaces—even minor unintended contact can cause severe damage to doors, façades, dock levelers, or even the building structure itself. Our impact protection bollards form a passive yet highly effective barrier, preventing collisions before they occur—and thereby minimizing not only repair costs but also costly operational downtime.

Why Impact Protection Bollards Are Indispensable – Practical Advantages at a Glance

Reliable Collision Protection in High-Traffic Areas

 

Thanks to their robust construction—typically made of hot-dip galvanized steel, stainless steel, or high-strength polymer with a steel core—our bollards absorb impact energy precisely and prevent vehicles from entering protected zones. This is especially critical for side-loading areas, narrow access lanes, or the safeguarding of emergency exits and technical equipment.

 

Customizable to Fit Your Facility’s Layout

We provide more than just standard bollards—we offer holistic consultation tailored to your needs:

  • Height, diameter, and color (e.g., high-visibility RAL warning red/yellow)
  • Ground anchoring for maximum stability—including depth and foundation planning
  • Seamless integration into existing safety concepts (e.g., combined with floor markings, guide rails, or signal lighting)

 

Long-Term Cost Efficiency – Fewer Damages, Lower Maintenance

 

A single front or side impact on a sectional overhead door can result in five-figure repair costs—including production stoppages, spare part procurement, and installation. Impact protection bollards often pay for themselves after just one prevented accident. Moreover, they require minimal maintenance, are corrosion-resistant, and UV-stable—making them ideal for year-round outdoor use.

 

Versatile Applications Beyond Loading Docks

 

In addition to dock bays, our bollards are also suitable for securing:

  • Warehouse entry and exit points
  • Machinery environments (e.g., CNC machines, robotic cells)
  • Parking area demarcations (e.g., in front of carports or building façades)
  • Access restrictions for unauthorized vehicles

Full-Service by Weglehner – Consultation, Delivery, and Installation from a Single Source

As your regional partner in Upper Austria, we understand the demands of industrial logistics—and we deliver not just products, but safe, reliable solutions. Together with you, we assess:

  • Where are the highest collision risks?
  • Which types of vehicles are in operation? (e.g., heavy-duty trucks with large turning radii)

Subsequently, we recommend the optimal bollard system—including timely delivery and professional installation by our in-house technical team. Optionally combinable with complementary components such as hydraulic dock levelers, mobile ramps, LED dock lights, or traffic signal systems—for a fully integrated, safe, and efficient loading solution.
