New Bollard “Adds Durability” to Workplace Safety Efforts

A new safety bollard claims to add new benefits to workplace safety.

A finalist in ‘Best Innovation on an Existing Product’ at the illustrious MODEX expo, the McCue FlexCore Bollard’s flexible, shock absorbing properties help it deflect impacts – and its durable, high-visibility plastic shell is rust, scratch and dirt resistant.

The company’s designers stepped into the shoes of customers when creating the FlexCore Bollard. Traditional core-drilled or plate-mounted bollards can withstand impacts, but cracked concrete, permanent deformation and unsightly erosion through rust, flaking paint or general wear-and-tear create a multitude of maintenance costs and problems.

With the Flexcore Bollard, these issues are greatly diminished.

Utilising similar technology to high-performance aircraft and military vehicles, McCue’s innovators implemented a high-strength spring-steel post attached to an industrial shock absorber for the Bollard’s core. For the exterior, the steel post carries a rubber load ring that allows the cover to rotate on impact, flex and reform.

This triple-pronged protective process not only saves the bollard, it protects the vehicle or piece of equipment that comes into contact with it.
