What we fit in Wisbech

Frame buffers. Buffers cushion knocks to frame edges and wall corners around the opening.
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.
Dock bumpers. Fresh bumpers keep trailers off the wall, the leveller and the shelter.
Suitable fixings. Base-plated or set in foundations, chosen for your slab.

What this work can involve

Fitting polymer bollards inside a busy warehouse door to keep forklifts away from the door guides.
Placing bollards beside a fire shutter so stored goods and trucks cannot obstruct its closing line.
Fitting rubber corner buffers to a door frame where pallet trucks clip the wall on a tight turn.

Loading bay safety in England

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Wisbech 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.

Access, phasing and timing

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.

Questions from businesses in Wisbech

Can you protect our existing doors in Wisbech?

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.

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 Wisbech 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.
