Options that matter on site

Steel bollards. Rigid steel posts that stop vehicles firmly in front of guides and frames.
Wheel guides. Apron guides that centre trailers on the bay.
Frame buffers. Rubber or polymer buffers on corners and frames at vehicle height.
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.

What this work can involve

Placing bollards beside a fire shutter so stored goods and trucks cannot obstruct its closing line.
Setting concrete-filled steel bollards in excavated foundations to protect a yard roller shutter from HGV impact.
Adding steel guide-rail guards to a row of sectional loading doors at a distribution centre.

Loading bay safety in England

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Dronfield the business running the site must keep them in efficient working order under PUWER 1998, and keep traffic routes safe under the Workplace Regulations 1992. Dock levellers are built to BS EN 1398; powered loading bay doors are covered by the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 and BS EN 12453.

Planning the work around your site

Questions from businesses in Dronfield

Can you protect our existing doors in Dronfield?

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 Dronfield 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 Dronfield 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.
