What to specify
- Polymer bollards. Flexible bollards that absorb impact and spring back.
- Suitable fixings. We choose anchor bolts or foundations depending on the slab and expected impacts.
- Steel bollards. Galvanised, painted steel bollards, concrete-filled where needed.
- High visibility. Yellow or yellow-and-black finishes that drivers notice.
- Wheel guides. Steel guides steer trailers straight into the middle of each bay.
What this work can involve
- 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 polymer bollards inside a busy warehouse door to keep forklifts away from the door guides.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Easterhouse, 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.
Planning the work around your site
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Your questions about bollards and door protection
Do you replace dock bumpers across Glasgow?
Yes. We replace worn dock bumpers and fit wheel guides and corner bollards at loading bays across Glasgow, often during a leveller service or bay refurbishment to save a separate visit.
How much do bollards cost to install in Easterhouse?
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 Easterhouse.
Can bollards at our Easterhouse 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.
