Options for bollards and door protection in Ebbw Vale
- Guide-rail guards. Guards over the base of door guides and tracks, where most hits land.
- Dock bumpers. Fresh bumpers keep trailers off the wall, the leveller and the shelter.
- Frame buffers. Buffers cushion knocks to frame edges and wall corners around the opening.
- Suitable fixings. We choose anchor bolts or foundations depending on the slab and expected impacts.
- Wheel guides. Apron guides that centre trailers on the bay.
Typical scopes of work
- Fitting rubber corner buffers to a door frame where pallet trucks clip the wall on a tight turn.
- 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 Ebbw Vale, 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.
How the work is organised
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.

Bollards and door protection in Ebbw Vale: your questions
How long does it take to fit door protection in Ebbw Vale?
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.
Do you replace dock bumpers across Gwent?
Yes. We replace worn dock bumpers and fit wheel guides and corner bollards at loading bays across Gwent, often during a leveller service or bay refurbishment to save a separate visit.
Which bollards suit our Ebbw Vale 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.
