What we fit in Kirkcaldy
- Dock bumpers. Fresh bumpers keep trailers off the wall, the leveller and the shelter.
- Steel bollards. Galvanised, painted steel bollards, concrete-filled where needed.
- Wheel guides. Steel guides steer trailers straight into the middle of each bay.
- 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.
What this work can involve
- Setting concrete-filled steel bollards in excavated foundations to protect a yard roller shutter from HGV impact.
- Replacing worn-through dock bumpers so reversing trailers stop short of the wall and the leveller lip.
- Adding steel guide-rail guards to a row of sectional loading doors at a distribution centre.
Loading bay safety in Scotland
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Kirkcaldy 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
Most installations in Kirkcaldy can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Your questions about bollards and door protection
Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our Kirkcaldy 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.
Which bollards suit our Kirkcaldy 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 Kirkcaldy?
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.
