What to specify
- Wheel guides. Steel guides steer trailers straight into the middle of each bay.
- Frame buffers. Rubber or polymer buffers on corners and frames at vehicle height.
- Suitable fixings. Base-plated or set in foundations, chosen for your slab.
- Dock bumpers. Bumpers that stop trailers at the right distance from the building.
- Steel bollards. Galvanised, painted steel bollards, concrete-filled where needed.
What this work can involve
- Adding steel guide-rail guards to a row of sectional loading doors at a distribution centre.
- Replacing bent bollards and checking the slab and anchors around them before fitting new fixings.
- Placing bollards beside a fire shutter so stored goods and trucks cannot obstruct its closing line.

Your questions about bollards and door protection
Do you replace dock bumpers across County Armagh?
Yes. We replace worn dock bumpers and fit wheel guides and corner bollards at loading bays across County Armagh, often during a leveller service or bay refurbishment to save a separate visit.
How long does it take to fit door protection in Portadown?
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.
Can you protect our existing doors in Portadown?
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.
