Town: Tyldesley
Postcode district: M29
Area: Greater Manchester
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Steel bollards. Rigid steel posts that stop vehicles firmly in front of guides and frames.
Wheel guides. Apron guides that centre trailers on the bay.
Frame buffers. Rubber or polymer buffers on corners and frames at vehicle height.
High visibility. Yellow or yellow-and-black finishes that drivers notice.
Suitable fixings. We choose anchor bolts or foundations depending on the slab and expected impacts.

Jobs we can carry out

Replacing worn-through dock bumpers so reversing trailers stop short of the wall and the leveller lip.
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.

What the law expects at a loading bay

Across Great Britain, including Tyldesley, 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.

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.

Questions from businesses in Tyldesley

Can you protect our existing doors in Tyldesley?

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.

Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our Tyldesley 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.

Can bollards at our Tyldesley 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.
