Options that matter on site
- Polymer bollards. Flexible bollards that absorb impact and spring back.
- Steel bollards. Rigid steel posts that stop vehicles firmly in front of guides and frames.
- Wheel guides. Apron guides that centre trailers on the bay.
- Suitable fixings. Base-plated or set in foundations, chosen for your slab.
- High visibility. Yellow or yellow-and-black finishes that drivers notice.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Placing bollards beside a fire shutter so stored goods and trucks cannot obstruct its closing line.
- Setting concrete-filled steel bollards in excavated foundations to protect a yard roller shutter from HGV impact.
- Fitting rubber corner buffers to a door frame where pallet trucks clip the wall on a tight turn.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Llanelli, 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.
Access, phasing and timing
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.
