Safety Bollards and Barriers in the UAE
Protect people, racking and equipment from vehicle impact – supplied and installed in warehouses and industrial sites across the UAE.
BOLLARDS AND BARRIERS
Protection where vehicles and people meet
Forklifts, trucks and pallet jacks work close to racking, doors and walkways all day. A small impact can bend an upright, damage stock or injure someone.
Arabian Rack supplies and installs safety bollards and barriers for warehouses, factories, loading areas and car parks across Abu Dhabi and the UAE. They create clear separation between traffic and pedestrians and shield the equipment and structures that matter most.
Barriers work best as part of a complete safety layout alongside column guards and row spacers and well-planned racking.
What Bollards and Barriers Do
A small investment that prevents costly damage.
Protect Racking
Barriers at aisle ends and corners absorb impact before it reaches uprights.
Separate People and Vehicles
Marked walkways and barriers keep pedestrians out of forklift paths.
Guard Doors and Equipment
Bollards protect roller doors, machines and electrical panels from collisions.
Visible Warning
Bright finishes help drivers and pedestrians see the protected area.
Fixed or Flexible Options
Choose fixed steel units or other options suited to the location.
Planned and Installed
Positions are chosen on site and fixed correctly to the floor.
WHERE THEY ARE USED
Where to use safety bollards and barriers
Most sites have more collision risks than they realise. These are the areas where protection usually pays for itself.
Aisle ends and racking corners
The first upright in each aisle takes the most hits. A barrier here protects the rack and the stock above it.
Pedestrian walkways and crossings
Barriers create a physical separation between walkways and vehicle routes, which is safer than painted lines alone.
Doors, docks and machinery
Roller doors, dock edges, control panels and machines are common impact points. Bollards stand between them and passing traffic.
Planning your layout
- Traffic routes and vehicle types
- Pedestrian crossings and walkways
- Racking layout and high-risk corners
- Floor type and fixing method
The UK Health and Safety Executive’s guidance on workplace transport safety explains why separating vehicles and pedestrians is so important. Our technical team can review your layout and recommend where protection is most needed.
CHOOSING PROTECTION
Choosing the right safety bollards and barriers
Bollards and barriers should be chosen for the traffic and the place they protect.
Where to fit them
Common places include doorways, loading bays, the ends of racking aisles, pedestrian walkways, machinery and the corners of buildings. Placing them where vehicles turn or approach gives the best protection.
Impact and visibility
High-visibility yellow barriers help drivers see danger zones, and stronger steel or polymer designs absorb impact. The right choice depends on vehicle weight and speed.
Working with other protection
Barriers work well alongside column guards and clear floor markings. Our technical services team can advise on the layout.

OUR WORK
Mesh Partitions and Safety Gates
Wire mesh partitions fence off racking and storage areas, keeping stock secure and people clear of moving equipment. Sliding mesh gates give controlled access, and pallet loading gates guard the edge of a mezzanine. Each one is made to fit your site.
FAQ
Bollards and Barriers - Frequently Asked Questions
What are safety bollards used for?
They protect racking, doors, machines and walkways from vehicle impact and mark clear boundaries around vulnerable areas.
Where should barriers be placed in a warehouse?
Typically at aisle ends, racking corners, pedestrian crossings, doors and around machinery. A site review shows the highest-risk points.
Can barriers and bollards be installed on existing floors?
Usually, yes. We confirm the floor type and fixing method during the site visit.
Do you supply them across the UAE?
Yes. We supply and install across Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah and the other emirates.
