What to specify
- Frame buffers. Rubber or polymer buffers on corners and frames at vehicle height.
- Wheel guides. Steel guides steer trailers straight into the middle of each bay.
- Suitable fixings. We choose anchor bolts or foundations depending on the slab and expected impacts.
- High visibility. Bright finishes make protection easy for drivers to see and avoid.
- Guide-rail guards. Protect the bottom of guides and tracks, where forks and pallets strike most often.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Adding steel guide-rail guards to a row of sectional loading doors at a distribution centre.
- Fitting rubber corner buffers to a door frame where pallet trucks clip the wall on a tight turn.
- Replacing worn-through dock bumpers so reversing trailers stop short of the wall and the leveller lip.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Maidenhead, 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.
Access, phasing and timing
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.

Bollards and door protection in Maidenhead: your questions
Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our Maidenhead 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.
Can bollards at our Maidenhead 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.
Can you protect our existing doors in Maidenhead?
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.
