What to specify
- 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.
- Guide-rail guards. Guards over the base of door guides and tracks, where most hits land.
- Dock bumpers. Fresh bumpers keep trailers off the wall, the leveller and the shelter.
- Frame buffers. Rubber or polymer buffers on corners and frames at vehicle height.
Typical scopes of work
- Fitting polymer bollards inside a busy warehouse door to keep forklifts away from the door guides.
- Replacing worn-through dock bumpers so reversing trailers stop short of the wall and the leveller lip.
- Placing bollards beside a fire shutter so stored goods and trucks cannot obstruct its closing line.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Kilwinning?
The employer or occupier is. PUWER 1998 requires work equipment to be maintained and inspected, and the Workplace Regulations 1992 cover vehicle and pedestrian routes around the dock. In practice that means planned servicing of levellers and doors, daily pre-use checks and a clear procedure to stop trailers moving during loading.
Planning the work around your site
If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

Questions from businesses in Kilwinning
Can bollards at our Kilwinning 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.
Do you replace dock bumpers across Ayrshire?
Yes. We replace worn dock bumpers and fit wheel guides and corner bollards at loading bays across Ayrshire, often during a leveller service or bay refurbishment to save a separate visit.
How much do bollards cost to install in Kilwinning?
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 Kilwinning.
