Tysen Technologies supplies flexible bollards and safety barriers in Singapore for workplace, traffic-management, pedestrian and industrial applications. Our extensive range includes safety barriers, bollards, and rubber bumpers, designed to help manage vehicle movement and protect people and infrastructure.
Compared to conventional rigid metal barriers, their engineered polymer construction allows them to flex, absorb and dissipate impact energy. This can help reduce the force transferred to vehicles, flooring, anchors and surrounding infrastructure, making polymer protection particularly suitable for areas where repeated forklift or vehicle impacts may occur.
Our flexible bollards can support vehicle guidance, traffic management and vehicle segregation across car parks, driveways, industrial facilities and other areas where vehicle movement needs to be clearly managed.

… Load moreFlexible Bollards for Workplace Impact Protection
Flexible bollards provide physical protection around vulnerable structures while allowing the protection system to flex when impacted. Unlike a conventional rigid post, these flexible systems can absorb and dissipate part of the impact energy rather than relying entirely on a rigid structure to resist the collision.
This can be particularly valuable in warehouses, loading bays, and industrial facilities where forklifts and other vehicles operate close to doors, machinery, racking, and building structures. Our flexible bollards help:
- Protect equipment, structures and building features from vehicle impacts
- Reduce the force transferred through the protection system and its mounting points
- Minimise potential damage to vehicles during suitable low-speed impacts
- Reduce the need for repeated repairs or replacement after minor collisions
- Provide highly visible protection around vehicle operating areas
Flexible protection can also help reduce the severity of impact forces experienced within the vehicle, which may help reduce the impact transmitted to forklift operators. However, barrier protection does not replace safe driving practices or the use of appropriate operator restraints.
Other Products
Our safety range extends beyond flexible bollards, we offer:
Rubber Bumpers
Rubber bumpers provide protection at locations where vehicles repeatedly approach fixed structures. D-Type Dock Bumpers, for example, are manufactured from reinforced rubber and are available in different heights for loading and dock applications.
ForkGuard Barriers
ForkGuard barriers are designed for areas where forklift traffic presents a risk to equipment, structures and other assets. The iFlex ForkGuard Kerb has a listed nominal impact-energy absorption capacity of 4,500 joules.
Speed Bumps and Traffic Products
Speed bumps and other traffic-management products can help control vehicle speeds and improve traffic flow in car parks, driveways and other areas where vehicle movement needs to be managed.
Temporary and Pedestrian Barriers
For temporary access control or pedestrian management, Tysen also offers products such as expandable plastic barriers and flexible pedestrian barriers for separating people and vehicles in appropriate applications.
Where can Bollards & Safety Barriers Be Used?
The right protection product depends on the type of vehicle activity, the asset being protected and the level of impact expected. Our bollards and safety barriers are available for a range of workplace and traffic environments:
| Application | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Car Parks | Help define vehicle routes and protected areas |
| Driveways | Support vehicle guidance and visibility |
| Industrial Facilities | Help separate vehicles from pedestrian areas |
| Warehouses | Support traffic management around operational areas |
| Loading Areas | Help identify and protect areas affected by vehicle movement |
| Pedestrian Routes | Help create clearer separation from vehicle traffic |
How to Choose Flexible Traffic Bollards
Vehicle Traffic
Consider the types of vehicles using the area, including cars, delivery vehicles, forklifts and other industrial vehicles.
Traffic Management Requirements
Determine whether the bollards are primarily required for vehicle guidance, route definition, area protection or vehicle segregation.
Visibility
Consider the visibility requirements of the installation location, particularly in areas with frequent vehicle and pedestrian movement.
Installation Environment
Consider whether the bollards will be installed indoors or outdoors and the conditions they will be exposed to.
Impact Requirements
Consider the expected level of vehicle interaction and select a product that is appropriate for the site's protection requirements.
Flexible Traffic Bollards vs Rigid Metal Bollards
| Consideration | Flexible Polymer Bollards | Rigid Metal Bollards |
|---|---|---|
| Impact behaviour | Flex and absorb or dissipate impact energy | Primarily resist impact through rigidity |
| Vehicle contact | Can reduce the severity of impact forces transferred to the vehicle | Contact can result in dents, scratches or other vehicle damage |
| Floor and anchors | Designed to reduce force transfer into mounting points | Greater impact force may be transferred through the fixing system |
| Recovery | Some systems can return towards their original position after impact | Can bend, dent or require repair after a collision |
| Maintenance | Potentially fewer repairs after suitable impacts | May require straightening, repainting or replacement |
| Best suited to | Dynamic vehicle-impact environments | Applications where rigid physical protection is specifically required |
The comparison does not mean polymers should replace every metal barrier. Rigid protection can still be appropriate for applications requiring a fixed structural barrier. However, where repeated forklift or vehicle impacts are a concern, the impact-management characteristics of a flexible polymer system deserve consideration.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What are flexible traffic bollards?
Flexible traffic bollards are safety products used to help guide vehicles, define traffic routes and provide protection in areas where vehicle and pedestrian movement occurs.
Where are flexible traffic bollards used?
Flexible traffic bollards can be used in car parks, driveways, warehouses, industrial facilities, loading areas and other environments where vehicle traffic needs to be managed.
How do I choose the right flexible traffic bollard?
Consider the type of vehicles using the area, traffic-management requirements, visibility, installation environment and expected level of vehicle interaction before selecting a product.
Why choose flexible polymer bollards instead of metal bollards?
Flexible polymer bollards are designed to manage impact differently from rigid metal bollards. Their ability to flex and absorb impact can help reduce damage to forklifts, flooring, mounting points and the bollard itself after suitable impacts, potentially reducing maintenance.
Where can flexible bollards and safety barriers be used?
They can be used in warehouses, factories, loading bays, car parks, pedestrian areas and other locations where vehicles operate close to people, equipment or infrastructure.
Does Tysen Technologies supply other safety protection products?
Yes. In addition to flexible bollards and safety barriers, Tysen Technologies supplies products including traffic barriers, pedestrian barriers, ForkGuard systems, rubber bumpers, speed bumps and temporary barriers for different traffic-management and impact-protection applications.
