What we fit in Barnstaple
- High visibility. Yellow or yellow-and-black finishes that drivers notice.
- Suitable fixings. We choose anchor bolts or foundations depending on the slab and expected impacts.
- Guide-rail guards. Guards over the base of door guides and tracks, where most hits land.
- Wheel guides. Apron guides that centre trailers on the bay.
- Frame buffers. Buffers cushion knocks to frame edges and wall corners around the opening.
Jobs we can carry out
- Fitting polymer bollards inside a busy warehouse door to keep forklifts away from the door guides.
- Fitting rubber corner buffers to a door frame where pallet trucks clip the wall on a tight turn.
- Installing wheel guides and corner bollards on a run of loading bays to protect the shelter frames.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Barnstaple?
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.
Keeping your site running during the work
Sites in and around Barnstaple vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

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