In short
Loading bays take a beating from reversing trailers. At sites in Feltham, we can replace worn dock bumpers, add wheel guides and fit corner bollards to protect doors, levellers, shelters and the building itself.

Options that matter on site
- High visibility. Bright finishes make protection easy for drivers to see and avoid.
- Suitable fixings. Base-plated or set in foundations, chosen for your slab.
- Steel bollards. Galvanised, painted steel bollards, concrete-filled where needed.
- 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.
Typical scopes of work
- Replacing bent bollards and checking the slab and anchors around them before fitting new fixings.
- Placing bollards beside a fire shutter so stored goods and trucks cannot obstruct its closing line.
- Installing wheel guides and corner bollards on a run of loading bays to protect the shelter frames.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Feltham, 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.
Keeping your site running during the work
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.

Questions from businesses in Feltham
Which bollards suit our Feltham 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.
Can you protect our existing doors in Feltham?
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.
