Protection Types
What Do We Protect?
We place protection where the traffic actually strikes, so a bollard or guard takes the hit instead of your door, dock, racking or people.
Door and Dock Bollards
Steel bollards set at door and dock openings so a truck or forklift stops before it damages the frame, track or leveler.
Racking and Equipment Guards
Bollards and guards protecting racking ends, machines, control panels and pipes from forklift strikes.
Pedestrian Protection
Guard rail and bollards separating people from forklift traffic at doors, corners and walkways.
Removable Bollards
Removable or collapsible bollards where access is sometimes needed and protection is wanted the rest of the time.

Why ReadyForce
Ready Is Not Just Our Name. It Is the Standard.
Being Ready is a standard, not a slogan, and it is what keeps your building running.
More Than Overhead Doors
Overhead doors, docks, millwrights, mechanical and machinery moving, one partner for the whole building.
14 Brands Installed and Serviced
We recommend the right fit for your opening, not the one with the biggest margin.
Stocked to Fix It First Trip
Common parts ride on every truck, so most calls finish on the first visit.
Factory-Trained Technicians, 24/7
WSIB, safety training and door accreditations, and after-hours calls answered directly by an on-call technician.
Preventative Maintenance
Scheduled care so the emergency never comes.
How It Works
From the First Call to a Protected Opening
Site Assessment
We walk the traffic paths and strike points, and look at what needs protecting.
Scope and Fixed Quote
We spec the bollards, rails and guards to the traffic and price it before the work starts. The quote is the invoice.
Scheduled Around You
We book the install around your shipping and production, including nights and weekends.
Install and Full Test
Crews core the floor, set and anchor the posts in concrete, and finish them ready for traffic.
Documented and Warranted
You get the paperwork for compliance and warranty, and one number to call.
Ongoing Service
Optional inspection visits catch struck or leaning posts before they stop protecting the opening.
Preventative Maintenance
We Keep You Ready for the People Who Count on You
A bollard that has been hit and left leaning is the next strike waiting to happen. Scheduled maintenance catches the wear early, so it does not happen.
Peace of Mind
You stop walking the strike points. We are watching it for you, on a schedule.
Continuous Operation
Trucks keep moving and the building keeps running, with no surprise downtime.
Predictable Costs
Planned care and a set price, instead of emergency invoices you did not budget for.
Choose Your Cadence
Quarterly
For high-cycle doors and busy loading docks.

Annual
The minimum to protect the warranty and keep the door safe.
