The first bollard built for production.
Every other bollard just sits there. This one blocks traffic, then rigs your lights, cameras, signage, handrails, and branding — because it's engineered to accept the speed rail your crew already owns.
You're already renting bollards, barricades, and stands separately — and none of them work together.
Basecamps, premieres, stadium activations, and outdoor shoots all need vehicle control and rigging infrastructure. Until now that meant concrete-filled steel that does nothing else, plus stands that blow over, plus signage solutions improvised from C-stands and sandbags. Bollard by Matthews collapses all of it into one clean, modern piece of kit.
A barrier that becomes a rigging point in seconds.
Drop in standard 1.25" (1.66 OD) or 1.5" (1.99 OD) speed rail and the bollard becomes the structural base for whatever the job needs:
- Goal posts for lighting and camera rigs on exterior shoots
- Handrails and queue lines using standard rail and fittings
- Signage, wayfinding, and branded installations
- Overhead frames and single-fixture mounts
- Crowd control with chain, rope, or stanchion accessories
One bollard. Every department finds a use for it.
From basecamp to the red carpet, the same units keep working across the entire job — which is exactly why rental houses and studios are ordering them in fleets.
Built for the people who rig for a living — and everyone who borrows their playbook.
Studios & production facilities
Permanent lot infrastructure that your grip department can also rig from. Traffic control, stage signage, and event-ready walkways with one SKU in inventory.
Rental houses
A high-utilization asset that rents to film jobs, corporate events, and activations alike. Pairs with speed rail and fittings you already stock — and every rental pulls accessory rentals with it.
Stadiums, venues & live events
Vehicle mitigation that upgrades into wayfinding, sponsor branding, camera positions, and lit walkways on game day — then breaks down clean.
Brands & content teams
In-house video teams get professional exterior rigging without a full grip package: backdrops, goal posts, interview setups, and branded stations that look intentional.
