What we fit in Carrickfergus
- Suitable fixings. Base-plated or set in foundations, chosen for your slab.
- Wheel guides. Steel guides steer trailers straight into the middle of each bay.
- High visibility. Bright finishes make protection easy for drivers to see and avoid.
- Polymer bollards. Bollards that flex on impact, sparing the floor, the vehicle and themselves.
- Guide-rail guards. Guards over the base of door guides and tracks, where most hits land.
What this work can involve
- 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.
- Replacing bent bollards and checking the slab and anchors around them before fitting new fixings.
Loading bay safety in Northern Ireland
In Northern Ireland, PUWER (Northern Ireland) 1999 requires dock levellers, shelters and powered doors to be maintained, and the Workplace Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1993 cover traffic routes around the dock. HSENI is the regulator. Dock levellers are built to BS EN 1398.
Planning the work around your site
For busy sites in County Antrim 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.

Bollards and door protection in Carrickfergus: your questions
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.
How much do bollards cost to install in Carrickfergus?
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 Carrickfergus.
Can bollards at our Carrickfergus 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.
