What to specify

Guide-rail guards. Protect the bottom of guides and tracks, where forks and pallets strike most often.
High visibility. Yellow or yellow-and-black finishes that drivers notice.
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.
Dock bumpers. Bumpers that stop trailers at the right distance from the building.

What this work can involve

Replacing worn-through dock bumpers so reversing trailers stop short of the wall and the leveller lip.
Adding steel guide-rail guards to a row of sectional loading doors at a distribution centre.
Setting concrete-filled steel bollards in excavated foundations to protect a yard roller shutter from HGV impact.

What the law expects at a loading bay

Across Great Britain, including Heston, 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

If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

Questions from businesses in Heston

How much do bollards cost to install in Heston?

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 Heston.

Can bollards at our Heston 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 Heston?

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.
