What to specify
- Wheel guides. Apron guides that centre trailers on the bay.
- Frame buffers. Rubber or polymer buffers on corners and frames at vehicle height.
- Guide-rail guards. Guards over the base of door guides and tracks, where most hits land.
- Steel bollards. Rigid steel posts that stop vehicles firmly in front of guides and frames.
- Suitable fixings. Base-plated or set in foundations, chosen for your slab.
Typical scopes of work
- Setting concrete-filled steel bollards in excavated foundations to protect a yard roller shutter from HGV impact.
- Replacing bent bollards and checking the slab and anchors around them before fitting new fixings.
- Fitting polymer bollards inside a busy warehouse door to keep forklifts away from the door guides.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Coulsdon?
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.
Planning the work around your site
For busy sites in Greater London 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.

Frequently asked questions
Can you protect our existing doors in Coulsdon?
Yes. Guards, buffers and bollards are fitted around existing doors and frames. If a guide or frame is already bent, we recommend repairing it first so the door runs properly behind its new protection.
Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our Coulsdon 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.
Do you replace dock bumpers across Greater London?
Yes. We replace worn dock bumpers and fit wheel guides and corner bollards at loading bays across Greater London, often during a leveller service or bay refurbishment to save a separate visit.
