Options for bollards and door protection in Fishponds
- Polymer bollards. Flexible bollards that absorb impact and spring back.
- Dock bumpers. Bumpers that stop trailers at the right distance from the building.

- Wheel guides. Apron guides that centre trailers on the bay.
- Steel bollards. Rigid steel posts that stop vehicles firmly in front of guides and frames.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Fitting rubber corner buffers to a door frame where pallet trucks clip the wall on a tight turn.
- Placing bollards beside a fire shutter so stored goods and trucks cannot obstruct its closing line.
- Fitting polymer bollards inside a busy warehouse door to keep forklifts away from the door guides.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Fishponds?
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.
Keeping your site running during the work
Sites in and around Fishponds vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Yes. We replace worn dock bumpers and fit wheel guides and corner bollards at loading bays across Bristol, often during a leveller service or bay refurbishment to save a separate visit.
How long does it take to fit door protection in Fishponds?
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.
