Industrial & Commercial Bollards — Protect Infrastructure, People, and Equipment
Bollards protect dock equipment, building corners, pedestrian areas, and critical infrastructure from vehicle impact — one of the most cost-effective facility protection investments available. Wilcox supplies and installs steel and removable bollards for industrial and commercial facilities across Canada.
Impact Happens. Be Ready for It.
Wilcox installs fixed, removable, and surface-mount bollards sized for your vehicle types and impact exposure. We assess your facility layout and recommend placement that protects dock equipment, fire suppression systems, pedestrian pathways, and building corners. Galvanized and powder-coated finishes available for indoor and outdoor applications.
