When it comes to controlling access, protecting property, or managing vehicle traffic without permanently blocking an area, folding bollards are one of the most practical solutions available. At A Plus Warehouse, these versatile safety posts offer a smart balance of convenience, strength, and adaptability — ideal for commercial, industrial, and municipal applications alike.
What Are Folding Bollards?
Folding bollards are heavy-duty steel posts designed to stand upright as a barrier or fold down to ground level when access is needed. Unlike traditional fixed bollards, they give you the flexibility to open up driveways, loading zones, emergency exits, or parking spaces without permanently removing the post.
They’re especially useful in areas where access control changes frequently — think pedestrian plazas, gated driveways, private parking lots, or warehouse entryways. Locking mechanisms (often with a padlock) secure the bollard in place whether up or down.
