Options that matter on site
- 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.
- Suitable fixings. Base-plated or set in foundations, chosen for your slab.
- Guide-rail guards. Guards over the base of door guides and tracks, where most hits land.
- Polymer bollards. Bollards that flex on impact, sparing the floor, the vehicle and themselves.
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.
- Replacing bent bollards and checking the slab and anchors around them before fitting new fixings.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Chadderton 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.

Questions from businesses in Chadderton
Can bollards at our Chadderton 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.
How much do bollards cost to install in Chadderton?
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 Chadderton.
How long does it take to fit door protection in Chadderton?
Usually a few hours per door for base-plated bollards and guide guards. Bollards set in foundations take longer because of coring or excavation, and are often fitted out of hours to avoid disrupting traffic.
