What to specify
- Dock bumpers. Fresh bumpers keep trailers off the wall, the leveller and the shelter.
- Wheel guides. Apron guides that centre trailers on the bay.
- Polymer bollards. Flexible bollards that absorb impact and spring back.
- Guide-rail guards. Protect the bottom of guides and tracks, where forks and pallets strike most often.
- Steel bollards. Galvanised, painted steel bollards, concrete-filled where needed.
Typical scopes of work
- Replacing bent bollards and checking the slab and anchors around them before fitting new fixings.
- Setting concrete-filled steel bollards in excavated foundations to protect a yard roller shutter from HGV impact.
- Fitting rubber corner buffers to a door frame where pallet trucks clip the wall on a tight turn.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Milton Keynes?
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.
How the work is organised
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Questions from businesses in Milton Keynes
Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our Milton Keynes 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 you protect our existing doors in Milton Keynes?
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.
How long does it take to fit door protection in Milton Keynes?
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.
