What to specify
- Steel bollards. Rigid steel posts that stop vehicles firmly in front of guides and frames.
- Wheel guides. Steel guides steer trailers straight into the middle of each bay.
- Guide-rail guards. Guards over the base of door guides and tracks, where most hits land.
- Polymer bollards. Flexible bollards that absorb impact and spring back.
- High visibility. Yellow or yellow-and-black finishes that drivers notice.
Typical scopes of work
- Adding steel guide-rail guards to a row of sectional loading doors at a distribution centre.
- Replacing bent bollards and checking the slab and anchors around them before fitting new fixings.
- 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 Macclesfield, 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.

Frequently asked questions
Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our Macclesfield 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 bollards at our Macclesfield 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.
Which bollards suit our Macclesfield 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.
