Bollards and door protection in Bexhill-on-Sea

In short

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

What to specify

Suitable fixings. We choose anchor bolts or foundations depending on the slab and expected impacts.
Wheel guides. Apron guides that centre trailers on the bay.
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.
Frame buffers. Buffers cushion knocks to frame edges and wall corners around the opening.

Examples of work we can quote for

Replacing bent bollards and checking the slab and anchors around them before fitting new fixings.
Fitting rubber corner buffers to a door frame where pallet trucks clip the wall on a tight turn.
Setting concrete-filled steel bollards in excavated foundations to protect a yard roller shutter from HGV impact.

Loading bay safety in England

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Bexhill-on-Sea the business running the site must keep them in efficient working order under PUWER 1998, and keep traffic routes safe under the Workplace Regulations 1992. Dock levellers are built to BS EN 1398; powered loading bay doors are covered by the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 and BS EN 12453.

Keeping your site running during the work

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.

Your questions about bollards and door protection

Do you replace dock bumpers across East Sussex?

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

Can bollards at our Bexhill-on-Sea 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.

Can you protect our existing doors in Bexhill-on-Sea?

Yes. Guards, buffers and bollards are fitted around existing doors and frames. If a guide or frame is already bent, we recommend repairing it first so the door runs properly behind its new protection.
