Bollards and door protection in Uxbridge

In short

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

Town: Uxbridge
Postcode district: UB8
Area: Greater London
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

High visibility. Bright finishes make protection easy for drivers to see and avoid.
Polymer bollards. Bollards that flex on impact, sparing the floor, the vehicle and themselves.
Guide-rail guards. Guards over the base of door guides and tracks, where most hits land.
Dock bumpers. Fresh bumpers keep trailers off the wall, the leveller and the shelter.
Wheel guides. Steel guides steer trailers straight into the middle of each bay.

What this work can involve

Placing bollards beside a fire shutter so stored goods and trucks cannot obstruct its closing line.
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.

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

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.

Access, phasing and timing

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.

Your questions about bollards and door protection

Which bollards suit our Uxbridge 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.

Can bollards at our Uxbridge 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.

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.
