Options for bollards and door protection in Hackney
- Wheel guides. Steel guides steer trailers straight into the middle of each bay.
- Suitable fixings. Base-plated or set in foundations, chosen for your slab.
- Polymer bollards. Bollards that flex on impact, sparing the floor, the vehicle and themselves.
- Dock bumpers. Bumpers that stop trailers at the right distance from the building.
- Steel bollards. Rigid steel posts that stop vehicles firmly in front of guides and frames.
Jobs we can carry out
- Adding steel guide-rail guards to a row of sectional loading doors at a distribution centre.
- Installing wheel guides and corner bollards on a run of loading bays to protect the shelter frames.
- Fitting polymer bollards inside a busy warehouse door to keep forklifts away from the door guides.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Hackney, 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.
How the work is organised
Most installations in Hackney can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Bollards and door protection in Hackney: your questions
How long does it take to fit door protection in Hackney?
Usually a few hours per door for base-plated bollards and guide guards. Bollards set in foundations take longer because of coring or excavation, and are often fitted out of hours to avoid disrupting traffic.
Can bollards at our Hackney 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.
Can you protect our existing doors in Hackney?
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.
