What to specify
- Frame buffers. Rubber or polymer buffers on corners and frames at vehicle height.
- Suitable fixings. Base-plated or set in foundations, chosen for your slab.
- Guide-rail guards. Guards over the base of door guides and tracks, where most hits land.
- Wheel guides. Steel guides steer trailers straight into the middle of each bay.
- Dock bumpers. Fresh bumpers keep trailers off the wall, the leveller and the shelter.
Typical scopes of work
- Installing wheel guides and corner bollards on a run of loading bays to protect the shelter frames.
- Adding steel guide-rail guards to a row of sectional loading doors at a distribution centre.
- Fitting rubber corner buffers to a door frame where pallet trucks clip the wall on a tight turn.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Erith?
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
Sites in and around Erith 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.

Bollards and door protection in Erith: your questions
Which bollards suit our Erith 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.
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.
Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our Erith 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.
