Mini & Mighty! The Gorilla Post™ Bollard Mini.

September 17, 2010 by

Gorilla Post Mini Bollard

A little reminiscent  of R2 D2, small and functional, the Gorilla Post™ Bollard Mini is the latest addition to the Gorilla Post System of super magnetic delineators and bollards.The 24-inch, 7-inch diameter Mini is the sturdy choice over conventional traffic cones.  The Mini is perfect for applications when traffic cones or markers must be repeatedly deployed in accurate and consistent alignments.  Unlike traditional orange cones, the Mini is tamper resistant and stays securely in place until you remove it with the ergonomic removal tool.

Installation is simple. There’s no need to drill large holes to compromise the facility surface that will require special tools and costly labor, the mounting plate simply epoxied to the concrete surface.

GORILLA POST BOLLARD UPGRADE

August 26, 2010 by
Gorilla Post Bollard Upgrade

New bollard design appears on the left of each image. Bollards are available in 10 colors

Do you currently own some original bollards and want to freshen up their appearance? We now offer a kit to convert the old-style bollard into the new style which uses an adapter to seal off the underneath of the bollard to keep out spiders, wasps and other pests. This kit works for all magnetic and non-magnetic base bollards.

The conversion kit is quite simple. Remove the 4 hex nuts holding the black tube to the spring system in your current bollard. Lift that bollard and tube off the spring and set to the side. Keep 2 of the hex nuts. Lower the new bollard with adapter onto the spring and reuse 2 of the 4 hex screws to tighten the connection. Discard the old bollard. That is how easy the process is!

You can even take this opportunity to change the color of the bollard and striping. We now offer over 10 colors of bollards! The GPBollardConversionKit is $95 and is available now.
