Safety Bollards for Automatic Gates & Commercial Properties

Safety bollards provide a simple and highly visible way to protect automatic gate equipment, boom gates, meters, control cabinets and other vulnerable infrastructure from accidental vehicle impact.

Skyline Gate Automation supplies safety bollards suitable for residential, commercial and industrial applications. Our range can include different sizes, mounting configurations and finishes to suit different site requirements.

A correctly positioned bollard can create a physical separation between vehicles and equipment installed near driveways, access lanes and parking areas.

​

Protect Automatic Gate Equipment

Automatic gate motors and control equipment are often installed close to areas where vehicles are moving.

An accidental impact can damage expensive equipment and potentially leave a gate unusable.

Safety bollards can be installed around vulnerable equipment such as:

• Automatic sliding gate motors

• Swing gate equipment

• Boom gate operators

• Access control equipment

• Electrical control boxes

• Electrical cabinets

• Gas meters

• Water meters

• Other property infrastructure

They are particularly useful where equipment is located close to vehicle traffic such as it can also be used to protect the gooseneck keypad pedestal.

​

High-Visibility Protection

Our safety bollard range includes high-visibility products designed to make protective barriers easier for drivers to see.

Yellow powder-coated finishes provide a clear visual warning, while models with reflective tape can offer additional visibility in low-light conditions.

This makes safety bollards particularly suitable for:

• Commercial driveways

• Warehouses

• Industrial properties

• Car parks

• Loading areas

• Business premises

• Apartment complexes

• Body corporate properties

• Gate entrances

​

Surface-Mount & Other Bollard Options

Different properties require different installation methods.

Our range can include surface-mounted bollards as well as other configurations as additional products become available.

Surface-mounted models can be useful where excavation is not desirable or where a bollard needs to be installed onto an existing concrete surface.

When selecting a bollard, consider:

• Bollard diameter

• Overall height

• Steel thickness

• Base plate dimensions

• Mounting hole configuration

• Fixing requirements

• Finish

• Reflective markings

• Expected site conditions

Always check the specifications of the individual product before purchasing.

​

Safety Bollards for Gate & Property Protection

Safety bollards are not limited to automatic gates.

They can also be used to provide additional protection around:

• Gas meters

• Water meters

• Electrical equipment

• Building corners

• Control cabinets

• Loading areas

• Parking areas

• Plant and equipment

• Other vulnerable infrastructure

For automatic gate installations, bollards can be particularly valuable where vehicles approach the gate at close range.

​

Choose the Right Bollard for Your Application

The appropriate bollard depends on the location, expected vehicle traffic and level of protection required.

For light-duty visibility and equipment separation, a suitable surface-mounted bollard may be appropriate.

For locations exposed to significant vehicle impact risk, the installation method, substrate, fixing system and bollard construction should be carefully assessed.

If you are unsure which product is suitable for your application, contact Skyline Gate Automation before purchasing.
