Big Yellow Storage Leeds
Speedy Street Solutions Ltd was appointed to manufacture and supply heavy-duty galvanised steel bollards for the Big Yellow Self Storage facility in Leeds.
Speedy Street Solutions Ltd was appointed to manufactured and supplied Heavy-duty galvanised steel bollards for the shared development occupied by Big Yellow Storage Leeds .
The project required robust vehicle access control measures to prevent high-sided vehicles from entering restricted areas, while maintaining safe access for authorised traffic. Both barriers were manufactured to precise dimensions, fully galvanised for corrosion protection, and powder coated in high-visibility yellow and black banding.
Key works
Project Overview
The client required the manufacture and supply of:
- Heavy-duty galvanised bollards
- 168mm diameter
- 1800mm overall length
- Open top design
- Root fixed installation
- 2 x 100mm yellow reflective bands
The primary objective was to protect building frontages, roller shutter doors, and pedestrian areas from accidental vehicle impact while maintaining clear visibility throughout the site.
Heavy-Duty Galvanised Steel Bollards – Specification
Speedy Street Solutions manufactured and supplied:
Galvanised Steel Bollards – Open Top
- 168mm diameter
- 1800mm overall length
- Root fixed installation
- Open top design
- 2 x 100mm yellow reflective banding
The large 168mm diameter provides substantial impact resistance, making these bollards ideal for industrial and storage facilities where heavier vehicles operate daily.
Root Fixed Installation – Maximum Strength
All bollards were manufactured for root-fixed installation, meaning the posts are set directly into concrete foundations.
This method ensures:
- Superior structural stability
- Increased resistance to vehicle impact
- Long-term durability
- Reduced risk of movement or damage over time
For self-storage facilities such as Big Yellow Leeds, root-fixed bollards provide the highest level of protection against accidental collisions.
Hot Dip Galvanised Finish – Long-Term Corrosion Protection
The bollards were fully hot dip galvanised, offering:
- Complete internal and external corrosion protection
- Long service life in exposed outdoor environments
- Reduced maintenance requirements
- Excellent performance in UK weather conditions
Galvanising is particularly important for industrial sites, where infrastructure must remain durable with minimal upkeep.
High-Visibility Yellow Reflective Banding
Each bollard was fitted with:
- 2 x 100mm yellow reflective bands
The wide reflective bands significantly improve visibility in low-light conditions, ensuring that drivers can clearly identify protective barriers when manoeuvring vehicles around the site.
Enhanced visibility is essential in environments where vans, lorries, and customer vehicles frequently operate in confined areas.
Why Heavy-Duty Bollards Are Essential for Storage Facilities
At busy self-storage locations such as Big Yellow Leeds, robust bollards provide:
- Asset Protection
Protecting building facades, shutters, and loading areas.
- Vehicle Impact Resistance
Withstanding accidental collisions from larger vehicles.
- Pedestrian Safety
Creating clear separation between vehicle routes and foot traffic.
- Long-Term Durability
Galvanised finishes ensure extended service life with minimal maintenance.
The 168mm diameter specification ensures enhanced strength compared to standard commercial bollards.
Manufacturing & Quality Assurance
Speedy Street Solutions manufactured the bollards to exact dimensional requirements, ensuring:
- Precision fabrication
- Consistent galvanised coating
- Accurate application of reflective banding
- Compliance with commercial-grade standards
All units were delivered installation-ready to support efficient site deployment.
