What to specify
- Suitable fixings. Base-plated or set in foundations, chosen for your slab.
- Frame buffers. Buffers cushion knocks to frame edges and wall corners around the opening.
- Wheel guides. Steel guides steer trailers straight into the middle of each bay.
- Dock bumpers. Bumpers that stop trailers at the right distance from the building.
- Steel bollards. Galvanised, painted steel bollards, concrete-filled where needed.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Setting concrete-filled steel bollards in excavated foundations to protect a yard roller shutter from HGV impact.
- Installing wheel guides and corner bollards on a run of loading bays to protect the shelter frames.
- Placing bollards beside a fire shutter so stored goods and trucks cannot obstruct its closing line.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Barrow-in-Furness, 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.
Planning the work around your site
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.

Bollards and door protection in Barrow-in-Furness: your questions
Can you protect our existing doors in Barrow-in-Furness?
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.
Can bollards at our Barrow-in-Furness 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.
How long does it take to fit door protection in Barrow-in-Furness?
Usually a few hours per door for base-plated bollards and guide guards. Bollards set in foundations take longer because of coring or excavation, and are often fitted out of hours to avoid disrupting traffic.
