What we fit in Hyde
- Steel bollards. Rigid steel posts that stop vehicles firmly in front of guides and frames.
- Wheel guides. Steel guides steer trailers straight into the middle of each bay.
- Suitable fixings. We choose anchor bolts or foundations depending on the slab and expected impacts.
- Frame buffers. Rubber or polymer buffers on corners and frames at vehicle height.
- Polymer bollards. Flexible bollards that absorb impact and spring back.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Replacing worn-through dock bumpers so reversing trailers stop short of the wall and the leveller lip.
- Installing wheel guides and corner bollards on a run of loading bays to protect the shelter frames.
- Placing bollards beside a fire shutter so stored goods and trucks cannot obstruct its closing line.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Hyde, 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.
Planning the work around your site
Sites in and around Hyde vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Your questions about bollards and door protection
Do you replace dock bumpers across Greater Manchester?
Yes. We replace worn dock bumpers and fit wheel guides and corner bollards at loading bays across Greater Manchester, often during a leveller service or bay refurbishment to save a separate visit.
How much do bollards cost to install in Hyde?
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 Hyde.
Can bollards at our Hyde 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.
