Access management

Traffic and access barriers

Bollards protect a point. Barriers organise a whole area, where vehicles go, where people walk, and where the two are not allowed to meet. Used to define parking, protect equipment and staging areas, and separate pedestrian routes from operating traffic.

Where it is used

  • Separating pedestrian routes from forklift and yard traffic
  • Protecting racking ends, staging areas and equipment
  • Defining visitor parking, fire routes and service lanes
  • Controlling access to restricted or hazardous zones
  • Organising vehicle flow at loading and receiving areas

Not sure which option fits?

Send a photo of the location and tell us what you are protecting. We will specify it and quote it within 24 hours, including the cheaper option if that is the right one.

Specifications

ConfigurationStraight runs, corners and returns

Access Control Barriers

Where a route needs to be closed to general traffic but opened for authorised vehicles. Fire routes, service lanes, restricted yards.

Powered and hydraulic access systems fall outside our supply. We will refer you to a specialist rather than quote something we do not stand behind.

Before you order

Choosing the right option

Barrier or bollards?

Bollards where the risk is a specific point: a door, a panel, a corner. Barriers where the risk is anywhere along a line, such as a walkway running beside an operating aisle. Most industrial sites need both, and a walkthrough is the fastest way to work out which goes where.

Is painted floor marking enough?

For wayfinding, yes. As a control, no, and auditors will say so. A painted line does not stop a forklift. If a corrective action plan calls for pedestrian separation, it is generally asking for a physical control.
