In short

Forklifts and lorries knocking door guides out of line at your Newry 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

Suitable fixings. We choose anchor bolts or foundations depending on the slab and expected impacts.
Frame buffers. Buffers cushion knocks to frame edges and wall corners around the opening.
Polymer bollards. Bollards that flex on impact, sparing the floor, the vehicle and themselves.
High visibility. Yellow or yellow-and-black finishes that drivers notice.
Guide-rail guards. Protect the bottom of guides and tracks, where forks and pallets strike most often.

Examples of work we can quote for

Fitting rubber corner buffers to a door frame where pallet trucks clip the wall on a tight turn.
Replacing worn-through dock bumpers so reversing trailers stop short of the wall and the leveller lip.
Adding steel guide-rail guards to a row of sectional loading doors at a distribution centre.

Loading bay safety in Northern Ireland

In Northern Ireland, PUWER (Northern Ireland) 1999 requires dock levellers, shelters and powered doors to be maintained, and the Workplace Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1993 cover traffic routes around the dock. HSENI is the regulator. Dock levellers are built to BS EN 1398.

Keeping your site running during the work

Most installations in Newry 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.

Questions from businesses in Newry

Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our Newry 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.

How long does it take to fit door protection in Newry?

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.

How much do bollards cost to install in Newry?

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 Newry.
