Options for bollards and door protection in Bo'ness
- 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.
- High visibility. Yellow or yellow-and-black finishes that drivers notice.
- Wheel guides. Steel guides steer trailers straight into the middle of each bay.
- Suitable fixings. Base-plated or set in foundations, chosen for your slab.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Installing wheel guides and corner bollards on a run of loading bays to protect the shelter frames.
- Replacing worn-through dock bumpers so reversing trailers stop short of the wall and the leveller lip.
- Fitting rubber corner buffers to a door frame where pallet trucks clip the wall on a tight turn.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Bo'ness?
The employer or occupier is. PUWER 1998 requires work equipment to be maintained and inspected, and the Workplace Regulations 1992 cover vehicle and pedestrian routes around the dock. In practice that means planned servicing of levellers and doors, daily pre-use checks and a clear procedure to stop trailers moving during loading.
Keeping your site running during the work
For busy sites in Forth Valley the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Your questions about bollards and door protection
How much do bollards cost to install in Bo'ness?
Our guide price is £125 to £445 ex VAT per installed bollard, depending on size, material and fixing. Guide-rail guards and buffers are £345 to £1,495 per door. We confirm a fixed price in writing after a free survey in Bo'ness.
Can bollards at our Bo'ness 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.
Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our Bo'ness 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.
