What to specify
- 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.
- Steel bollards. Galvanised, painted steel bollards, concrete-filled where needed.
- Suitable fixings. Base-plated or set in foundations, chosen for your slab.
- High visibility. Bright finishes make protection easy for drivers to see and avoid.
Jobs we can carry out
- Replacing bent bollards and checking the slab and anchors around them before fitting new fixings.
- Placing bollards beside a fire shutter so stored goods and trucks cannot obstruct its closing line.
- Installing wheel guides and corner bollards on a run of loading bays to protect the shelter frames.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Sale 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.
Keeping your site running during the work
For busy sites in Greater Manchester the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Your questions about bollards and door protection
Can bollards at our Sale 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 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 long does it take to fit door protection in Sale?
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.
