Options for bollards and door protection in County Antrim
- Guide-rail guards. Guards over the base of door guides and tracks, where most hits land.
- Wheel guides. Steel guides steer trailers straight into the middle of each bay.
- Steel bollards. Rigid steel posts that stop vehicles firmly in front of guides and frames.
- Frame buffers. Buffers cushion knocks to frame edges and wall corners around the opening.
- Suitable fixings. Base-plated or set in foundations, chosen for your slab.
Typical scopes of work
- Fitting rubber corner buffers to a door frame where pallet trucks clip the wall on a tight turn.
- Fitting polymer bollards inside a busy warehouse door to keep forklifts away from the door guides.
- Installing wheel guides and corner bollards on a run of loading bays to protect the shelter frames.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in County Antrim?
The employer or occupier, under PUWER (Northern Ireland) 1999 and the Workplace Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1993. Planned servicing, daily checks and a procedure to stop trailers moving during loading are the practical basics HSENI will expect.
