Options for bollards and door protection in Weymouth

High visibility. Bright finishes make protection easy for drivers to see and avoid.
Polymer bollards. Flexible bollards that absorb impact and spring back.
Wheel guides. Steel guides steer trailers straight into the middle of each bay.
Steel bollards. Rigid steel posts that stop vehicles firmly in front of guides and frames.
Suitable fixings. We choose anchor bolts or foundations depending on the slab and expected impacts.

Typical scopes of work

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.
Placing bollards beside a fire shutter so stored goods and trucks cannot obstruct its closing line.

Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Weymouth?

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

Frequently asked questions

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.

Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our Weymouth 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 Weymouth 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.
