Flexible Shock Absorbing Bollard with Rotating Cover - 54" H, 7.2" Dia.
Bollard flexes upon impact then returns upright
SKU: FB-K-006-307
Manufacturer: McCue Corporation
Unlike typical steel bollards, this flexible bollard is able to sustain a forklift impact without needing repairs or replacement. It can absorb the energy from a collision, return to a standing position, and retain its original shape. Its durable, dent-resistant poly shell flexes when hit and transfers energy to the core assembly, which includes a polyurethane load ring, tensile steel shaft, and rubber damper that further diffuse the impact forces and direct them into the ground. The shock absorbing design helps reduce damage to the vehicle and the concrete floor; it also makes the collision less jarring for the driver. The bollard installs easily with included anchor bolts and features all internal hardware with no base plate, saving workers from catch points and trip hazards.

The high density polyethylene bollard shell diffuses impact forces around the whole exterior and transfers the rest to the core.
- Use flexible bollards to guard structures and equipment. Keep forklifts and other vehicles from entering prohibited areas.
- The special shock absorbing design minimizes damage from forklift collisions and protects the concrete floor.
- No special concrete pour required for installation; bollards anchor easily into existing concrete surfaces (minimum 3,000 psi).
- The smooth exterior has no exposed hardware and no baseplate to snag or trip workers. The top is rounded and prevents accumulation of debris.
- The cover maintains a neat appearance even if hit or sideswiped. It resists dent from impacts and never needs painting, as its polyethylene material is the same color all the way through.
How it works:
The rotating HDPE shell deflects glancing blows. Upon a direct hit, it diffuses impact forces along its full length and directs the rest to the core assembly.
The polyurethane load ring flexes to absorb energy.
Energy is transferred down the high-tensile steel shaft.
Shock absorbing rubber dampers at the base diminish the remaining forces, reducing stress on the anchors.
