Forklifts and lorries knocking door guides out of line at your Bangor (Down) site? Guide-rail guards and well-placed bollards usually cost far less than another door repair and the downtime that comes with it.

Options that matter on site

Frame buffers. Buffers cushion knocks to frame edges and wall corners around the opening.
Steel bollards. Galvanised, painted steel bollards, concrete-filled where needed.
Guide-rail guards. Protect the bottom of guides and tracks, where forks and pallets strike most often.
Polymer bollards. Bollards that flex on impact, sparing the floor, the vehicle and themselves.
Suitable fixings. We choose anchor bolts or foundations depending on the slab and expected impacts.

Examples of work we can quote for

Replacing worn-through dock bumpers so reversing trailers stop short of the wall and the leveller lip.
Installing wheel guides and corner bollards on a run of loading bays to protect the shelter frames.
Fitting polymer bollards inside a busy warehouse door to keep forklifts away from the door guides.

Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Bangor (Down)?

The employer or occupier, under PUWER (Northern Ireland) 1999 and the Workplace Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1993. Planned servicing, daily checks and a procedure to stop trailers moving during loading are the practical basics HSENI will expect.

Keeping your site running during the work

Most installations in Bangor (Down) 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.

Your questions about bollards and door protection

Do you replace dock bumpers across County Down?

Yes. We replace worn dock bumpers and fit wheel guides and corner bollards at loading bays across County Down, often during a leveller service or bay refurbishment to save a separate visit.

Which bollards suit our Bangor (Down) 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.

Can bollards at our Bangor (Down) 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.
