Bollards & Guards
The Physical Barrier Between Your Assets and Impact
Warehouse floors are busy, high-risk environments. Forklifts, heavy equipment, and people are moving through the same space all day, every day. It only takes one wrong turn or an unexpected equipment issue to cause serious damage, halt operations, or result in injuries that can change lives. USSI offers heavy-duty safety bollards and guard systems—robust steel protection designed to stop impacts before they happen. By defining traffic lanes and shielding your most vulnerable infrastructure, we provide the proactive impact protection needed to keep people and machines separate and keep your facility running without interruption.
Safety Bollards: Vertical Protection for Critical Points
When you need concentrated protection for specific vulnerable points, USSI’s safety bollards are the industry standard. As a critical component of our lineup of industrial safety guards, these vertical steel posts provide a formidable visual and physical deterrent against vehicle impact.
Constructed from heavy-gauge structural steel pipe, our bollards are engineered to withstand direct force.
Key Applications:
- Doorway Protection: Prevents forklifts from clipping track rails and jamming overhead doors.
- Corner & Column Defense: Shields building corners and structural columns from turning vehicles.
- Utility Safeguarding: Creates a hard barrier around electrical panels, gas meters, and fire suppression systems.
Guard Rails: Continuous Barriers for Traffic Control
For shielding larger areas or creating distinct traffic lanes, USSI offers robust guard rail systems. These horizontal barriers are essential for segregating traffic and protecting long stretches of equipment or personnel.
Our guardrail systems use resilient steel rails that absorb and deflect impact energy. The modular design allows for custom lengths and configurations to fit any layout.
Key Applications:
- Pedestrian Separation: Physically separates walkways from active forklift lanes, preventing accidental entry into hazardous zones.
- Machinery Guarding: forms a perimeter around conveyors, packaging lines, and robotic cells to prevent collisions with vehicles.
- Office & Wall Protection: Acts as a buffer for in-plant modular offices and long perimeter walls.
Comprehensive Warehouse Advantages
USSI’s industrial safety guards transform your facility from a reactive environment to a proactive one. Our systems deliver value across three critical areas:
Personnel Safety & Traffic Control
Creates clearly defined "safe zones" for pedestrians. By physically separating people from heavy machinery with reliable forklift safety barriers, you significantly reduce the risk of injury and "near-miss" incidents.
Asset & Infrastructure Preservation
Shields your facility's most expensive assets—overhead doors, conveyors, and walls—from being crushed. This drastic reduction in collision damage lowers your long-term maintenance and repair costs.
Regulatory Compliance
Helps facility managers meet OSHA requirements for aisle marking and hazard guarding (General Duty Clause), demonstrating a verifiable commitment to a safe working environment.

Installation & Durability Considerations
A barrier is only as strong as its foundation. USSI ensures that every bollard and guard is installed for maximum resilience.
- Secure Mounting: Features heavy-duty base plates with multiple anchor points, drilled deep into the concrete to ensure the barrier holds firm upon impact.
- Minimal Footprint: Designed to provide maximum protection while occupying minimal floor space, preserving your critical aisle width for material handling.
- Low Maintenance: The durable industrial finish resists scratching, corrosion, and wear, requiring virtually no upkeep even in the busiest facilities.
