Options for bollards and door protection in Billericay

Suitable fixings. We choose anchor bolts or foundations depending on the slab and expected impacts.
Guide-rail guards. Protect the bottom of guides and tracks, where forks and pallets strike most often.
High visibility. Bright finishes make protection easy for drivers to see and avoid.
Steel bollards. Rigid steel posts that stop vehicles firmly in front of guides and frames.
Polymer bollards. Flexible bollards that absorb impact and spring back.

Typical scopes of work

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.
Placing bollards beside a fire shutter so stored goods and trucks cannot obstruct its closing line.

Loading bay safety in England

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Billericay 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.

Planning the work around your site

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.

Questions from businesses in Billericay

Can bollards at our Billericay 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.

How long does it take to fit door protection in Billericay?

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 Billericay 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.
