The short version

What to specify
- 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.
- Dock bumpers. Fresh bumpers keep trailers off the wall, the leveller and the shelter.
- Steel bollards. Galvanised, painted steel bollards, concrete-filled where needed.
- Suitable fixings. Base-plated or set in foundations, chosen for your slab.
Jobs we can carry out
- Fitting rubber corner buffers to a door frame where pallet trucks clip the wall on a tight turn.
- Replacing bent bollards and checking the slab and anchors around them before fitting new fixings.
- Replacing worn-through dock bumpers so reversing trailers stop short of the wall and the leveller lip.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Christchurch 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
Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

Questions from businesses in Christchurch
Do you replace dock bumpers across Dorset?
Yes. We replace worn dock bumpers and fit wheel guides and corner bollards at loading bays across Dorset, often during a leveller service or bay refurbishment to save a separate visit.
Which bollards suit our Christchurch 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.
How much do bollards cost to install in Christchurch?
Our guide price is £125 to £445 ex VAT per installed bollard, depending on size, material and fixing. Guide-rail guards and buffers are £345 to £1,495 per door. We confirm a fixed price in writing after a free survey in Christchurch.
