What we fit in Southall

Frame buffers. Rubber or polymer buffers on corners and frames at vehicle height.
Wheel guides. Steel guides steer trailers straight into the middle of each bay.
Polymer bollards. Bollards that flex on impact, sparing the floor, the vehicle and themselves.
High visibility. Bright finishes make protection easy for drivers to see and avoid.
Dock bumpers. Fresh bumpers keep trailers off the wall, the leveller and the shelter.

Typical scopes of work

Setting concrete-filled steel bollards in excavated foundations to protect a yard roller shutter from HGV impact.
Replacing worn-through dock bumpers so reversing trailers stop short of the wall and the leveller lip.
Replacing bent bollards and checking the slab and anchors around them before fitting new fixings.

What the law expects at a loading bay

Across Great Britain, including Southall, 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 Southall 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.

Frequently asked questions

Which bollards suit our Southall 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.

Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our Southall 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.

Can bollards at our Southall 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.
