Options for bollards and door protection in Hounslow

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.
Polymer bollards. Flexible bollards that absorb impact and spring back.
Dock bumpers. Fresh bumpers keep trailers off the wall, the leveller and the shelter.
Suitable fixings. We choose anchor bolts or foundations depending on the slab and expected impacts.

What this work can involve

Fitting polymer bollards inside a busy warehouse door to keep forklifts away from the door guides.
Fitting rubber corner buffers to a door frame where pallet trucks clip the wall on a tight turn.
Adding steel guide-rail guards to a row of sectional loading doors at a distribution centre.

Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Hounslow?

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.

How the work is organised

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Bollards and door protection in Hounslow: your questions

Which bollards suit our Hounslow 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 Hounslow?

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.
