Flexible Memory-Shape Industrial Bollard Bolt-Down Installation

Flexible industrial bollard in shape-memory polyurethane – Ø80 or Ø100 mm

The flexible polyurethane bollard developed by IDEQUIP is engineered for demanding environments where vehicle movements are frequent and impact risks are constant. Designed for industrial sites, logistics platforms, car parks, pedestrian pathways and urban infrastructure projects, this high-performance safety post provides reliable protection while significantly reducing long-term maintenance costs.

Manufactured from advanced shape-memory polyurethane, this industrial safety bollard is capable of bending under impact without cracking, splitting or suffering permanent deformation. When struck by a vehicle, forklift or handling equipment, it flexes to absorb kinetic energy and immediately returns to its original upright position. This elastic recovery system prevents structural damage to both the bollard and the impacting vehicle, making it particularly suitable for high-traffic warehouse environments, distribution centres and confined manoeuvring areas.

Unlike rigid steel or concrete posts that transmit impact force directly into the anchoring structure, this flexible polyurethane model dissipates energy progressively. The result is reduced stress on anchor bolts, improved longevity of the fixing system and a substantial decrease in repair interventions. This makes it a cost-effective and sustainable alternative to traditional metal protection posts.

Available in diameters of 80 mm or 100 mm and in heights of 800 mm or 1000 mm, the bollard can be selected according to the required level of visibility, deterrence and mechanical resistance. The Shore A96 hardness rating ensures an optimal balance between flexibility and structural strength, maintaining stability while allowing controlled deformation under load. Its resistance to temperature variations from -20°C to +70°C guarantees consistent performance in both indoor and outdoor installations, including exposed industrial environments.

The bollard is equipped with a 150 × 150 mm base plate featuring four anchoring points, enabling secure installation on concrete slabs. This plate-mounted configuration simplifies fitting and allows efficient replacement if required, without major civil works or operational disruption. The system is therefore well suited to facilities where operational continuity is essential.

This flexible industrial protection post provides an effective solution for traffic organisation, pedestrian safety zoning and infrastructure protection. By combining impact absorption, structural resilience and rapid installation, it delivers a modern approach to industrial site safety while minimising long-term maintenance and replacement costs.
