At a glance
Forklifts and lorries knocking door guides out of line at your Gerrards Cross site? Guide-rail guards and well-placed bollards usually cost far less than another door repair and the downtime that comes with it.

Options that matter on site
- Dock bumpers. Fresh bumpers keep trailers off the wall, the leveller and the shelter.
- Frame buffers. Buffers cushion knocks to frame edges and wall corners around the opening.
- Polymer bollards. Bollards that flex on impact, sparing the floor, the vehicle and themselves.
- Steel bollards. Rigid steel posts that stop vehicles firmly in front of guides and frames.
- Guide-rail guards. Guards over the base of door guides and tracks, where most hits land.
Jobs we can carry out
- Setting concrete-filled steel bollards in excavated foundations to protect a yard roller shutter from HGV impact.
- Adding steel guide-rail guards to a row of sectional loading doors at a distribution centre.
- Replacing bent bollards and checking the slab and anchors around them before fitting new fixings.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Gerrards Cross 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
Sites in and around Gerrards Cross 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.

Frequently asked questions
Do you replace dock bumpers across Buckinghamshire?
Yes. We replace worn dock bumpers and fit wheel guides and corner bollards at loading bays across Buckinghamshire, often during a leveller service or bay refurbishment to save a separate visit.
Which bollards suit our Gerrards Cross 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 you protect our existing doors in Gerrards Cross?
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.
