What we fit in Hythe

High visibility. Bright finishes make protection easy for drivers to see and avoid.
Frame buffers. Buffers cushion knocks to frame edges and wall corners around the opening.
Polymer bollards. Bollards that flex on impact, sparing the floor, the vehicle and themselves.
Suitable fixings. Base-plated or set in foundations, chosen for your slab.
Dock bumpers. Fresh bumpers keep trailers off the wall, the leveller and the shelter.

Examples of work we can quote for

Setting concrete-filled steel bollards in excavated foundations to protect a yard roller shutter from HGV impact.
Placing bollards beside a fire shutter so stored goods and trucks cannot obstruct its closing line.
Replacing worn-through dock bumpers so reversing trailers stop short of the wall and the leveller lip.

What the law expects at a loading bay

Across Great Britain, including Hythe, 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 Hythe

Can you protect our existing doors in Hythe?

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 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.

Which bollards suit our Hythe 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.
