What to specify
- Frame buffers. Buffers cushion knocks to frame edges and wall corners around the opening.
- 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.
- Dock bumpers. Bumpers that stop trailers at the right distance from the building.
- Wheel guides. Steel guides steer trailers straight into the middle of each bay.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Fitting rubber corner buffers to a door frame where pallet trucks clip the wall on a tight turn.
- Replacing bent bollards and checking the slab and anchors around them before fitting new fixings.
- Installing wheel guides and corner bollards on a run of loading bays to protect the shelter frames.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Glenrothes, 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.
How the work is organised
If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

Frequently asked questions
Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our Glenrothes 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.
Do you replace dock bumpers across Fife?
Yes. We replace worn dock bumpers and fit wheel guides and corner bollards at loading bays across Fife, often during a leveller service or bay refurbishment to save a separate visit.
Which bollards suit our Glenrothes 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.
