Options that matter on site

Steel bollards. Rigid steel posts that stop vehicles firmly in front of guides and frames.
Polymer bollards. Bollards that flex on impact, sparing the floor, the vehicle and themselves.
High visibility. Bright finishes make protection easy for drivers to see and avoid.
Guide-rail guards. Guards over the base of door guides and tracks, where most hits land.
Frame buffers. Buffers cushion knocks to frame edges and wall corners around the opening.

Typical scopes of work

Adding steel guide-rail guards to a row of sectional loading doors at a distribution centre.
Setting concrete-filled steel bollards in excavated foundations to protect a yard roller shutter from HGV impact.
Replacing worn-through dock bumpers so reversing trailers stop short of the wall and the leveller lip.

What the law expects at a loading bay

Across Great Britain, including St Neots, loading bays bring together several duties: maintained work equipment under PUWER 1998, safe traffic routes under the Workplace Regulations 1992, and safe powered doors under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008. Dock levellers should meet BS EN 1398, and the site's risk assessment should cover vehicle creep and drive-aways.

Keeping your site running during the work

If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

Bollards and door protection in St Neots: your questions

Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our St Neots 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 St Neots?

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.

Can bollards at our St Neots site be replaced after a strike?

Yes. Damaged bollards and guards can usually be replaced individually. We check the fixings and the slab around them first, because a bent bollard often loosens its anchors or cracks the concrete at its base.
