What we fit in Kilmarnock
- Suitable fixings. We choose anchor bolts or foundations depending on the slab and expected impacts.
- Steel bollards. Galvanised, painted steel bollards, concrete-filled where needed.
- Polymer bollards. Flexible bollards that absorb impact and spring back.
- Frame buffers. Buffers cushion knocks to frame edges and wall corners around the opening.
- Wheel guides. Steel guides steer trailers straight into the middle of each bay.
Typical scopes of work
- Replacing worn-through dock bumpers so reversing trailers stop short of the wall and the leveller lip.
- Fitting rubber corner buffers to a door frame where pallet trucks clip the wall on a tight turn.
- Installing wheel guides and corner bollards on a run of loading bays to protect the shelter frames.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Kilmarnock, loading bays bring together several duties: maintained work equipment under PUWER 1998, safe traffic routes under the Workplace Regulations 1992, and safe powered doors under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008. Dock levellers should meet BS EN 1398, and the site's risk assessment should cover vehicle creep and drive-aways.
Keeping your site running during the work
Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.
