What we fit in Ripley
- Wheel guides. Steel guides steer trailers straight into the middle of each bay.
- Polymer bollards. Flexible bollards that absorb impact and spring back.
- High visibility. Bright finishes make protection easy for drivers to see and avoid.
- Suitable fixings. We choose anchor bolts or foundations depending on the slab and expected impacts.
- Frame buffers. Rubber or polymer buffers on corners and frames at vehicle height.
Jobs we can carry out
- 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.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Ripley, 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
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to fit door protection in Ripley?
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.
Can bollards at our Ripley 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 Ripley 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.
