What to specify

Polymer bollards. Bollards that flex on impact, sparing the floor, the vehicle and themselves.
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.
Steel bollards. Galvanised, painted steel bollards, concrete-filled where needed.
High visibility. Bright finishes make protection easy for drivers to see and avoid.

Jobs we can carry out

Fitting polymer bollards inside a busy warehouse door to keep forklifts away from the door guides.
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.

What the law expects at a loading bay

Across Great Britain, including Pontypool, 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Questions from businesses in Pontypool

How long does it take to fit door protection in Pontypool?

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.

Can you protect our existing doors in Pontypool?

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.

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.
