Town: Bury
Postcode district: BL9
Area: Greater Manchester
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Polymer bollards. Flexible bollards that absorb impact and spring back.
Suitable fixings. We choose anchor bolts or foundations depending on the slab and expected impacts.
Guide-rail guards. Guards over the base of door guides and tracks, where most hits land.
Wheel guides. Steel guides steer trailers straight into the middle of each bay.
High visibility. Bright finishes make protection easy for drivers to see and avoid.

Jobs we can carry out

Fitting rubber corner buffers to a door frame where pallet trucks clip the wall on a tight turn.
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.

Loading bay safety in England

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Bury the business running the site must keep them in efficient working order under PUWER 1998, and keep traffic routes safe under the Workplace Regulations 1992. Dock levellers are built to BS EN 1398; powered loading bay doors are covered by the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 and BS EN 12453.

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.

Questions from businesses in Bury

Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our Bury 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.

Which bollards suit our Bury 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 you protect our existing doors in Bury?

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.
