Bollards and door protection in Runcorn

In short

Forklifts and lorries knocking door guides out of line at your Runcorn site? Guide-rail guards and well-placed bollards usually cost far less than another door repair and the downtime that comes with it.

What we fit in Runcorn

Guide-rail guards. Guards over the base of door guides and tracks, where most hits land.
Suitable fixings. Base-plated or set in foundations, chosen for your slab.
Steel bollards. Galvanised, painted steel bollards, concrete-filled where needed.
High visibility. Bright finishes make protection easy for drivers to see and avoid.
Polymer bollards. Bollards that flex on impact, sparing the floor, the vehicle and themselves.

Jobs we can carry out

Fitting polymer bollards inside a busy warehouse door to keep forklifts away from the door guides.
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.

Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Runcorn?

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

Your questions about bollards and door protection

Can bollards at our Runcorn 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.

Can you protect our existing doors in Runcorn?

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.

Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our Runcorn 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.
