Options that matter on site
- High visibility. Yellow or yellow-and-black finishes that drivers notice.
- Steel bollards. Galvanised, painted steel bollards, concrete-filled where needed.
- Dock bumpers. Bumpers that stop trailers at the right distance from the building.
- Suitable fixings. Base-plated or set in foundations, chosen for your slab.
- Polymer bollards. Flexible bollards that absorb impact and spring back.
What this work can involve
- Replacing worn-through dock bumpers so reversing trailers stop short of the wall and the leveller lip.
- Placing bollards beside a fire shutter so stored goods and trucks cannot obstruct its closing line.
- 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 Falkirk 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
Sites in and around Falkirk vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Frequently asked questions
Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our Falkirk 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.
How long does it take to fit door protection in Falkirk?
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.
How much do bollards cost to install in Falkirk?
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 Falkirk.
