Options that matter on site
- High visibility. Bright finishes make protection easy for drivers to see and avoid.
- Wheel guides. Steel guides steer trailers straight into the middle of each bay.
- Frame buffers. Buffers cushion knocks to frame edges and wall corners around the opening.
- Steel bollards. Rigid steel posts that stop vehicles firmly in front of guides and frames.
- Polymer bollards. Bollards that flex on impact, sparing the floor, the vehicle and themselves.
What this work can involve
- Adding steel guide-rail guards to a row of sectional loading doors at a distribution centre.
- Placing bollards beside a fire shutter so stored goods and trucks cannot obstruct its closing line.
- Replacing bent bollards and checking the slab and anchors around them before fitting new fixings.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Bromley?
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
Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

Frequently asked questions
Which bollards suit our Bromley 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 much do bollards cost to install in Bromley?
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 Bromley.
Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our Bromley 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.
