What we fit in Gosport

High visibility. Yellow or yellow-and-black finishes that drivers notice.
Guide-rail guards. Guards over the base of door guides and tracks, where most hits land.
Steel bollards. Rigid steel posts that stop vehicles firmly in front of guides and frames.
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.

Examples of work we can quote for

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.
Replacing worn-through dock bumpers so reversing trailers stop short of the wall and the leveller lip.

Loading bay safety in England

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

How the work is organised

Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Bollards and door protection in Gosport: your questions

Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our Gosport 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.

Can bollards at our Gosport 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.

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.
