What we fit in Swadlincote
- Steel bollards. Galvanised, painted steel bollards, concrete-filled where needed.
- Frame buffers. Rubber or polymer buffers on corners and frames at vehicle height.
- Guide-rail guards. Guards over the base of door guides and tracks, where most hits land.
- Dock bumpers. Bumpers that stop trailers at the right distance from the building.
- Wheel guides. Apron guides that centre trailers on the bay.
What this work can involve
- Replacing worn-through dock bumpers so reversing trailers stop short of the wall and the leveller lip.
- Replacing bent bollards and checking the slab and anchors around them before fitting new fixings.
- Fitting polymer bollards inside a busy warehouse door to keep forklifts away from the door guides.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Swadlincote, 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
For busy sites in Derbyshire the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Do you replace dock bumpers across Derbyshire?
Yes. We replace worn dock bumpers and fit wheel guides and corner bollards at loading bays across Derbyshire, often during a leveller service or bay refurbishment to save a separate visit.
How long does it take to fit door protection in Swadlincote?
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.
