Town: Tiverton
Postcode district: EX16
Area: Devon
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Suitable fixings. Base-plated or set in foundations, chosen for your slab.
Wheel guides. Apron guides that centre trailers on the bay.
High visibility. Bright finishes make protection easy for drivers to see and avoid.
Polymer bollards. Flexible bollards that absorb impact and spring back.
Guide-rail guards. Guards over the base of door guides and tracks, where most hits land.

Typical scopes of work

Replacing bent bollards and checking the slab and anchors around them before fitting new fixings.
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.

Loading bay safety in England

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Tiverton 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

Most installations in Tiverton can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Bollards and door protection in Tiverton: your questions

Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our Tiverton site?

We check slab thickness and look for buried services before drilling. Polymer bollards and proper foundations reduce the risk of slab cracking on heavy impacts, and we recommend the right fixing for your floor.

Can bollards at our Tiverton 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 Tiverton 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.
