What we fit in Newport (Gwent)

Wheel guides. Steel guides steer trailers straight into the middle of each bay.
High visibility. Yellow or yellow-and-black finishes that drivers notice.
Frame buffers. Buffers cushion knocks to frame edges and wall corners around the opening.
Dock bumpers. Fresh bumpers keep trailers off the wall, the leveller and the shelter.
Polymer bollards. Bollards that flex on impact, sparing the floor, the vehicle and themselves.

Jobs we can carry out

Adding steel guide-rail guards to a row of sectional loading doors at a distribution centre.
Placing bollards beside a fire shutter so stored goods and trucks cannot obstruct its closing line.
Replacing bent bollards and checking the slab and anchors around them before fitting new fixings.

What the law expects at a loading bay

Across Great Britain, including Newport (Gwent), 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

Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

Your questions about bollards and door protection

Which bollards suit our Newport (Gwent) 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.

How long does it take to fit door protection in Newport (Gwent)?

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.

Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our Newport (Gwent) 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.
