Hit and Runs Spark Run On Bollards for Businesses

The recent spate of ram raids and hit and runs across Australia has sparked a rush on businesses looking for property protection through products such as bollards and speed humps.

"It used to be that bollards were mainly bought by big companies such as banks and shopping centres, but with the recent run of hit and runs we are fielding lots of enquiries from smaller businesses such as cafes with outdoor seating and corner stores," said Scott Davy from Superior Bollards and Security.

"Businesses and councils are becoming more aware of the risks of cars leaving the pavement and running into customers or property, and as a result we have seen a dramatic increase in the installation of bollards in the past 12 months".

"Even people with businesses or goods stored in industrial sheds are installing their own bollards in front of their roller doors rather than relying on the centre's security" said Scott. A number of recent ram raids have targeted industrial sheds for items such as valuable cars, computers and high priced stock.

"Maybe it is just a sign of the times, but the trend we have observed is that businesses are identifying and addressing the need for better exterior building protection for their properties and their customers."

This trend has also extended to other traffic control systems to slow traffic down around people or businesses. Speed bumps, including portable speed bumps that can be rolled out for major events or during traffic diversions and removed when needed, are also becoming popular for small to medium businesses.
