Options that matter on site
- Wheel guides. Steel guides steer trailers straight into the middle of each bay.
- Dock bumpers. Fresh bumpers keep trailers off the wall, the leveller and the shelter.
- Polymer bollards. Flexible bollards that absorb impact and spring back.
- High visibility. Bright finishes make protection easy for drivers to see and avoid.
- Suitable fixings. We choose anchor bolts or foundations depending on the slab and expected impacts.
Jobs we can carry out
- Fitting polymer bollards inside a busy warehouse door to keep forklifts away from the door guides.
- Setting concrete-filled steel bollards in excavated foundations to protect a yard roller shutter from HGV impact.
- Placing bollards beside a fire shutter so stored goods and trucks cannot obstruct its closing line.
Loading bay safety in Scotland
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Musselburgh 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.
Access, phasing and timing
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Frequently asked questions
How much do bollards cost to install in Musselburgh?
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 Musselburgh.
How long does it take to fit door protection in Musselburgh?
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 Musselburgh 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.
