    Bollards are a large part of our traffic management systems. They are primarily used to control/direct the traffic, whilst also preventing vehicles from mounting the pavement and harming pedestrians or damaging properties.

    Although their appearance and functionalities have altered slightly over the years, the use of bollards dates back to the eighteenth century.

    The earliest bollards were made from timber; however as transportation changed from horses to motorised vehicles, it became clear that cast iron was a more suitable material. Cast iron has a very high corrosion resistance and longevity, with excellent levels of durability.

    We began casting bollards in the 1940s with one of the earliest designs being the Cannon bollard. Its design was shaped around the cannons from ships, which were widely used as bollards during the Victorian era.

    The renowned Bell bollard was introduced by Furnitubes in 1985, with its unique design offering a solution to solve many traffic management issues. We are the ONLY manufacturers of the Bell bollard in the UK.

    We recognised the need for change and began to introduce bollards in a range of materials and styles, famously giving us one of the largest bollard selections in the UK. We now supply bollards to suit a variety of locations, from traditional cast iron to contemporary stainless steel, as well as telescopic, power, removable, rebound and traffic bollards.
