What to specify
- 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.
- Dock bumpers. Fresh bumpers keep trailers off the wall, the leveller and the shelter.
- Guide-rail guards. Protect the bottom of guides and tracks, where forks and pallets strike most often.
- Polymer bollards. Flexible bollards that absorb impact and spring back.
Typical scopes of work
- Adding steel guide-rail guards to a row of sectional loading doors at a distribution centre.
- Fitting polymer bollards inside a busy warehouse door to keep forklifts away from the door guides.
- Replacing worn-through dock bumpers so reversing trailers stop short of the wall and the leveller lip.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in County Fermanagh?
The employer or occupier, under PUWER (Northern Ireland) 1999 and the Workplace Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1993. Planned servicing, daily checks and a procedure to stop trailers moving during loading are the practical basics HSENI will expect.
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.

Frequently asked questions
Can you protect our existing doors in County Fermanagh?
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.
Which bollards suit our County Fermanagh warehouse?
Steel bollards suit most yards and external doors; polymer bollards suit busy internal routes where they will be hit often. The slab and vehicle weights decide the fixing. We recommend after seeing where your doors are being struck.
How long does it take to fit door protection in County Fermanagh?
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.
