What we fit in Larne
- Dock bumpers. Fresh bumpers keep trailers off the wall, the leveller and the shelter.
- Wheel guides. Apron guides that centre trailers on the bay.
- Steel bollards. Galvanised, painted steel bollards, concrete-filled where needed.
- High visibility. Yellow or yellow-and-black finishes that drivers notice.
- Polymer bollards. Bollards that flex on impact, sparing the floor, the vehicle and themselves.
What this work can involve
- 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.
- Replacing worn-through dock bumpers so reversing trailers stop short of the wall and the leveller lip.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Larne?
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
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Frequently asked questions
Can you protect our existing doors in Larne?
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.
Can bollards at our Larne 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.
Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our Larne 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.
