The short version
Loading bays take a beating from reversing trailers. At sites in Aldershot, we can replace worn dock bumpers, add wheel guides and fit corner bollards to protect doors, levellers, shelters and the building itself.

What to specify
- Suitable fixings. We choose anchor bolts or foundations depending on the slab and expected impacts.
- Polymer bollards. Bollards that flex on impact, sparing the floor, the vehicle and themselves.
- Steel bollards. Rigid steel posts that stop vehicles firmly in front of guides and frames.
- 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.
Jobs we can carry out
- Replacing worn-through dock bumpers so reversing trailers stop short of the wall and the leveller lip.
- Fitting rubber corner buffers to a door frame where pallet trucks clip the wall on a tight turn.
- Fitting polymer bollards inside a busy warehouse door to keep forklifts away from the door guides.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Aldershot?
The employer or occupier is. PUWER 1998 requires work equipment to be maintained and inspected, and the Workplace Regulations 1992 cover vehicle and pedestrian routes around the dock. In practice that means planned servicing of levellers and doors, daily pre-use checks and a clear procedure to stop trailers moving during loading.
Keeping your site running during the work
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.

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