The short version
Loading bays take a beating from reversing trailers. At sites in Belfast, we can replace worn dock bumpers, add wheel guides and fit corner bollards to protect doors, levellers, shelters and the building itself.

What to specify
- Suitable fixings. Base-plated or set in foundations, chosen for your slab.
- High visibility. Yellow or yellow-and-black finishes that drivers notice.
- Polymer bollards. Flexible bollards that absorb impact and spring back.
- Steel bollards. Rigid steel posts that stop vehicles firmly in front of guides and frames.
- Dock bumpers. Fresh bumpers keep trailers off the wall, the leveller and the shelter.
Typical scopes of work
- Fitting polymer bollards inside a busy warehouse door to keep forklifts away from the door guides.
- Replacing bent bollards and checking the slab and anchors around them before fitting new fixings.
- Setting concrete-filled steel bollards in excavated foundations to protect a yard roller shutter from HGV impact.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Belfast?
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.
Access, phasing and timing
Sites in and around Belfast vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Your questions about bollards and door protection
How much do bollards cost to install in Belfast?
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 Belfast.
How long does it take to fit door protection in Belfast?
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.
Do you replace dock bumpers across County Antrim?
Yes. We replace worn dock bumpers and fit wheel guides and corner bollards at loading bays across County Antrim, often during a leveller service or bay refurbishment to save a separate visit.
