At a glance

Bollards and door protection for warehouses, yards and loading bays in Inverurie. We look at where your doors are being hit, then fit bollards, guards, buffers and bumpers to stop it happening again.

Town: Inverurie
Postcode district: AB51
Area: Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Frame buffers. Buffers cushion knocks to frame edges and wall corners around the opening.
Steel bollards. Rigid steel posts that stop vehicles firmly in front of guides and frames.
Suitable fixings. We choose anchor bolts or foundations depending on the slab and expected impacts.
Wheel guides. Steel guides steer trailers straight into the middle of each bay.
Guide-rail guards. Protect the bottom of guides and tracks, where forks and pallets strike most often.

What this work can involve

Adding steel guide-rail guards to a row of sectional loading doors at a distribution centre.
Placing bollards beside a fire shutter so stored goods and trucks cannot obstruct its closing line.
Replacing worn-through dock bumpers so reversing trailers stop short of the wall and the leveller lip.

Loading bay safety in Scotland

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Inverurie the business running the site must keep them in efficient working order under PUWER 1998, and keep traffic routes safe under the Workplace Regulations 1992. Dock levellers are built to BS EN 1398; powered loading bay doors are covered by the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 and BS EN 12453.

Planning the work around your site

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Your questions about bollards and door protection

Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our Inverurie site?

We check slab thickness and look for buried services before drilling. Polymer bollards and proper foundations reduce the risk of slab cracking on heavy impacts, and we recommend the right fixing for your floor.

Can you protect our existing doors in Inverurie?

Yes. Guards, buffers and bollards are fitted around existing doors and frames. If a guide or frame is already bent, we recommend repairing it first so the door runs properly behind its new protection.

Which bollards suit our Inverurie warehouse?

Steel bollards suit most yards and external doors; polymer bollards suit busy internal routes where they will be hit often. The slab and vehicle weights decide the fixing. We recommend after seeing where your doors are being struck.
