What to specify
- Guide-rail guards. Protect the bottom of guides and tracks, where forks and pallets strike most often.
- Steel bollards. Rigid steel posts that stop vehicles firmly in front of guides and frames.
- Dock bumpers. Bumpers that stop trailers at the right distance from the building.
- Frame buffers. Rubber or polymer buffers on corners and frames at vehicle height.
- Polymer bollards. Bollards that flex on impact, sparing the floor, the vehicle and themselves.
Jobs we can carry out
- Replacing worn-through dock bumpers so reversing trailers stop short of the wall and the leveller lip.
- Installing wheel guides and corner bollards on a run of loading bays to protect the shelter frames.
- Setting concrete-filled steel bollards in excavated foundations to protect a yard roller shutter from HGV impact.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Congleton?
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.
Access, phasing and timing
Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

Bollards and door protection in Congleton: your questions

Which bollards suit our Congleton 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.
Do you replace dock bumpers across Cheshire?
Yes. We replace worn dock bumpers and fit wheel guides and corner bollards at loading bays across Cheshire, often during a leveller service or bay refurbishment to save a separate visit.
