Bounce Back Bollards for Industrial Settings

Bounce Back Bollards

The Premier Rebound Bollard for Industrial Settings

What is a Bounce Back Bollard?

A Bounce Back Bollard is a flex bollard engineered for industrial settings that absorbs forklift impact up to 18 degrees and returns to upright automatically.

Most warehouses just replace bent bollards and move on. It becomes part of the maintenance budget. The Bounce Back Bollard is the alternative: a bollard that takes the hit, gives nothing back, and is standing straight again before the forklift driver has finished their paperwork.

How Does a Bounce Back Bollard Work?

When a forklift clips a standard post, the post bends or breaks. Someone fills out a work order, someone orders a replacement, and the cycle starts again. The Bounce Back Bollard handles the same impact differently. The internal flex system lets the post give way up to 18 degrees rather than fighting the force. Once the energy is gone, the post comes straight back up on its own. No one has to touch it.

It works the same way from any direction, which matters in busy warehouse aisles where forklifts do not always make clean head-on contact. The cold galvanized base plate and 8-anchor bolt system keep everything grounded through every cycle. Facilities that make the switch from standard pipe posts to rebounding bollards typically stop budgeting for bollard replacements within the first year.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is a Bounce Back Bollard?

A: A bounce back bollard is a flex bollard designed for industrial settings that bends up to 18 degrees on forklift contact and springs back to vertical automatically. The forklift, the driver, the floor, and the bollard all come out of the impact better than they would with a standard fixed post.

Q2: How does a flex bollard protect a forklift and driver?

A: A standard post resists the impact and sends that force back into whatever hits it. A flex bollard absorbs it instead, bending at the base so the forklift and driver feel significantly less of the collision.

Q3: What forklift impact load is the Bounce Back Bollard rated for?

A: A bounce back bollard is designed to stop a 10,000 lb forklift at 5 mph, which covers the standard industrial forklift load. The 360-degree design means that rating holds regardless of which direction the contact comes from.

Q4: Do rebounding bollards need to be reset after impact?

A: Rebounding bollards go back up on their own. There is no lever to pull, no pin to reset, and no one needs to go out to the floor to fix anything after a hit.

Q5: What is included with the Bounce Back Bollard?

A: The post, a 16.5" cold galvanized base plate, 8 anchor bolts, and a 1/8" bollard cover. If you want a different cover profile or color, additional options are available on request.
