Options that matter on site
- Polymer bollards. Bollards that flex on impact, sparing the floor, the vehicle and themselves.
- Frame buffers. Rubber or polymer buffers on corners and frames at vehicle height.
- Dock bumpers. Fresh bumpers keep trailers off the wall, the leveller and the shelter.
- Suitable fixings. Base-plated or set in foundations, chosen for your slab.
- Guide-rail guards. Protect the bottom of guides and tracks, where forks and pallets strike most often.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Installing wheel guides and corner bollards on a run of loading bays to protect the shelter frames.
- Replacing worn-through dock bumpers so reversing trailers stop short of the wall and the leveller lip.
- Adding steel guide-rail guards to a row of sectional loading doors at a distribution centre.
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.
Keeping your site running during the work
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Your questions about bollards and door protection
How long does it take to fit door protection in County Armagh?
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.
Which bollards suit our County Armagh warehouse?
Steel bollards suit most yards and external doors; polymer bollards suit busy internal routes where they will be hit often. The slab and vehicle weights decide the fixing. We recommend after seeing where your doors are being struck.
Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our County Armagh 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.
