Suitable fixings. Base-plated or set in foundations, chosen for your slab.
Guide-rail guards. Protect the bottom of guides and tracks, where forks and pallets strike most often.

Loading bay safety in Wales

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Risca 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.

Questions from businesses in Risca

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.

Can bollards at our Risca 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.

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

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.
