Options that matter on site
- Guide-rail guards. Protect the bottom of guides and tracks, where forks and pallets strike most often.
- Wheel guides. Steel guides steer trailers straight into the middle of each bay.
- Polymer bollards. Flexible bollards that absorb impact and spring back.
- Frame buffers. Rubber or polymer buffers on corners and frames at vehicle height.
- Suitable fixings. Base-plated or set in foundations, chosen for your slab.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Setting concrete-filled steel bollards in excavated foundations to protect a yard roller shutter from HGV impact.
- 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.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Newton Aycliffe?
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
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 Newton Aycliffe
Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our Newton Aycliffe 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 Newton Aycliffe 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.
How much do bollards cost to install in Newton Aycliffe?
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 Newton Aycliffe.
