Options for bollards and door protection in Arbroath
- Polymer bollards. Flexible bollards that absorb impact and spring back.
- Suitable fixings. We choose anchor bolts or foundations depending on the slab and expected impacts.
- Dock bumpers. Bumpers that stop trailers at the right distance from the building.
- Steel bollards. Galvanised, painted steel bollards, concrete-filled where needed.
- Guide-rail guards. Guards over the base of door guides and tracks, where most hits land.
What this work can involve
- Replacing worn-through dock bumpers so reversing trailers stop short of the wall and the leveller lip.
- Fitting rubber corner buffers to a door frame where pallet trucks clip the wall on a tight turn.
- Adding steel guide-rail guards to a row of sectional loading doors at a distribution centre.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Arbroath?
The employer or occupier is. PUWER 1998 requires work equipment to be maintained and inspected, and the Workplace Regulations 1992 cover vehicle and pedestrian routes around the dock. In practice that means planned servicing of levellers and doors, daily pre-use checks and a clear procedure to stop trailers moving during loading.
How the work is organised
For busy sites in Angus and Dundee the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Your questions about bollards and door protection
Can bollards at our Arbroath site be replaced after a strike?
Yes. Damaged bollards and guards can usually be replaced individually. We check the fixings and the slab around them first, because a bent bollard often loosens its anchors or cracks the concrete at its base.
How long does it take to fit door protection in Arbroath?
Usually a few hours per door for base-plated bollards and guide guards. Bollards set in foundations take longer because of coring or excavation, and are often fitted out of hours to avoid disrupting traffic.
How much do bollards cost to install in Arbroath?
Our guide price is £125 to £445 ex VAT per installed bollard, depending on size, material and fixing. Guide-rail guards and buffers are £345 to £1,495 per door. We confirm a fixed price in writing after a free survey in Arbroath.
