Options for bollards and door protection in Greater London

Wheel guides. Apron guides that centre trailers on the bay.
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.
Guide-rail guards. Guards over the base of door guides and tracks, where most hits land.
Dock bumpers. Bumpers that stop trailers at the right distance from the building.

What this work can involve

Fitting rubber corner buffers to a door frame where pallet trucks clip the wall on a tight turn.
Fitting polymer bollards inside a busy warehouse door to keep forklifts away from the door guides.
Adding steel guide-rail guards to a row of sectional loading doors at a distribution centre.

Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Greater London?

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.

Access, phasing and timing

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Frequently asked questions

Do you replace dock bumpers across England?

Yes. We replace worn dock bumpers and fit wheel guides and corner bollards at loading bays across England, often during a leveller service or bay refurbishment to save a separate visit.

Can bollards at our Greater London 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 Greater London 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.
