Temporary T-Top Bollard 8Kg Rubber Base Only

Temporary Bollard 8kg heavy duty rubber base only

Bollards are rigid posts that can be arranged in a line to close a road or path to vehicles above a certain width. Bollards can be mounted near enough to each other that they block ordinary cars, for instance, but wide enough to permit special-purpose vehicles through. Bollards can be used to enclose car free zones: removable bollards allow access for service and emergency vehicles.

To be used with fluorescent red or orange plastic bollards with reflective tape, and removable heavy rubber bases are frequently used in road traffic control where traffic cones would be inappropriate due to their width and ease of movement. Also referred to as delineators, the bases are usually made from recycled plastic, and can be easily glued to the road surface to resist movement following minor impacts from passing traffic. Sometimes called "T-Top Bollards" from the T-bar moulded into the top for tying tape, the bollard is an economical, cost effective and safe delineation system designed especially for motorways and busy arterial roads. In conjunction with plastic tape, it is also effective in pedestrian control.

They were invented by John C. Bollard, of the Bollard & Stanchion company.

Bollards are also used as a form of permanent utility location.
