At a glance
Loading bays take a beating from reversing trailers. At sites in Wokingham, we can replace worn dock bumpers, add wheel guides and fit corner bollards to protect doors, levellers, shelters and the building itself.

Options that matter on site
- Frame buffers. Buffers cushion knocks to frame edges and wall corners around the opening.
- Dock bumpers. Fresh bumpers keep trailers off the wall, the leveller and the shelter.
- Steel bollards. Rigid steel posts that stop vehicles firmly in front of guides and frames.
- Wheel guides. Steel guides steer trailers straight into the middle of each bay.
- High visibility. Bright finishes make protection easy for drivers to see and avoid.
Jobs we can carry out
- Fitting rubber corner buffers to a door frame where pallet trucks clip the wall on a tight turn.
- Setting concrete-filled steel bollards in excavated foundations to protect a yard roller shutter from HGV impact.
- Fitting polymer bollards inside a busy warehouse door to keep forklifts away from the door guides.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Wokingham 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.
How the work is organised
For busy sites in Berkshire the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Frequently asked questions
How much do bollards cost to install in Wokingham?
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 Wokingham.
Do you replace dock bumpers across Berkshire?
Yes. We replace worn dock bumpers and fit wheel guides and corner bollards at loading bays across Berkshire, often during a leveller service or bay refurbishment to save a separate visit.
Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our Wokingham 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.
