What we fit in Basildon

Dock bumpers. Bumpers that stop trailers at the right distance from the building.
High visibility. Bright finishes make protection easy for drivers to see and avoid.
Polymer bollards. Bollards that flex on impact, sparing the floor, the vehicle and themselves.
Suitable fixings. Base-plated or set in foundations, chosen for your slab.
Frame buffers. Buffers cushion knocks to frame edges and wall corners around the opening.

Typical scopes of work

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 Basildon, 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

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.
