At a glance
Forklifts and lorries knocking door guides out of line at your Aberystwyth 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
- High visibility. Bright finishes make protection easy for drivers to see and avoid.
- Dock bumpers. Bumpers that stop trailers at the right distance from the building.
- Wheel guides. Apron guides that centre trailers on the bay.
- Guide-rail guards. Protect the bottom of guides and tracks, where forks and pallets strike most often.
- Frame buffers. Rubber or polymer buffers on corners and frames at vehicle height.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Replacing bent bollards and checking the slab and anchors around them before fitting new fixings.
- Fitting polymer bollards inside a busy warehouse door to keep forklifts away from the door guides.
- Placing bollards beside a fire shutter so stored goods and trucks cannot obstruct its closing line.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Aberystwyth, loading bays bring together several duties: maintained work equipment under PUWER 1998, safe traffic routes under the Workplace Regulations 1992, and safe powered doors under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008. Dock levellers should meet BS EN 1398, and the site's risk assessment should cover vehicle creep and drive-aways.
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.
