Options for bollards and door protection in Peterborough

Suitable fixings. Base-plated or set in foundations, chosen for your slab.
Guide-rail guards. Guards over the base of door guides and tracks, where most hits land.
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.
Frame buffers. Buffers cushion knocks to frame edges and wall corners around the opening.

Jobs we can carry out

Placing bollards beside a fire shutter so stored goods and trucks cannot obstruct its closing line.
Installing wheel guides and corner bollards on a run of loading bays to protect the shelter frames.
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 Peterborough?

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

For busy sites in Cambridgeshire 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.

Do you replace dock bumpers across Cambridgeshire?

Yes. We replace worn dock bumpers and fit wheel guides and corner bollards at loading bays across Cambridgeshire, often during a leveller service or bay refurbishment to save a separate visit.

Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our Peterborough 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.
