Options for bollards and door protection in Troon

Guide-rail guards. Guards over the base of door guides and tracks, where most hits land.
Frame buffers. Buffers cushion knocks to frame edges and wall corners around the opening.
Suitable fixings. We choose anchor bolts or foundations depending on the slab and expected impacts.
Steel bollards. Rigid steel posts that stop vehicles firmly in front of guides and frames.
High visibility. Bright finishes make protection easy for drivers to see and avoid.

Loading bay safety in Scotland

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Troon the business running the site must keep them in efficient working order under PUWER 1998, and keep traffic routes safe under the Workplace Regulations 1992. Dock levellers are built to BS EN 1398; powered loading bay doors are covered by the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 and BS EN 12453.

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.

Frequently asked questions

Which bollards suit our Troon 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.

Can bollards at our Troon 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.

How long does it take to fit door protection in Troon?

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.
