What we fit in Crowborough
- Dock bumpers. Fresh bumpers keep trailers off the wall, the leveller and the shelter.
- Polymer bollards. Flexible bollards that absorb impact and spring back.
- Wheel guides. Steel guides steer trailers straight into the middle of each bay.
- High visibility. Yellow or yellow-and-black finishes that drivers notice.
- Guide-rail guards. Guards over the base of door guides and tracks, where most hits land.
Jobs we can carry out
- 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.
- Fitting polymer bollards inside a busy warehouse door to keep forklifts away from the door guides.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Crowborough, 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.

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.
How long does it take to fit door protection in Crowborough?
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.
Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our Crowborough 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.
