Bollards and door protection in Wilmslow

In short

Loading bays take a beating from reversing trailers. At sites in Wilmslow, we can replace worn dock bumpers, add wheel guides and fit corner bollards to protect doors, levellers, shelters and the building itself.

Town: Wilmslow
Postcode district: SK9
Area: Cheshire
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Dock bumpers. Fresh bumpers keep trailers off the wall, the leveller and the shelter.
Frame buffers. Rubber or polymer buffers on corners and frames at vehicle height.
Steel bollards. Rigid steel posts that stop vehicles firmly in front of guides and frames.
Suitable fixings. We choose anchor bolts or foundations depending on the slab and expected impacts.
Polymer bollards. Flexible bollards that absorb impact and spring back.

What this work can involve

Installing wheel guides and corner bollards on a run of loading bays to protect the shelter frames.
Fitting rubber corner buffers to a door frame where pallet trucks clip the wall on a tight turn.
Placing bollards beside a fire shutter so stored goods and trucks cannot obstruct its closing line.

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

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.

Planning the work around your site

Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.
