Options for bollards and door protection in Totton
- Steel bollards. Rigid steel posts that stop vehicles firmly in front of guides and frames.
- Polymer bollards. Bollards that flex on impact, sparing the floor, the vehicle and themselves.
- Wheel guides. Apron guides that centre trailers on the bay.
- Guide-rail guards. Guards over the base of door guides and tracks, where most hits land.
- Suitable fixings. We choose anchor bolts or foundations depending on the slab and expected impacts.
Typical scopes of work
- Placing bollards beside a fire shutter so stored goods and trucks cannot obstruct its closing line.
- Setting concrete-filled steel bollards in excavated foundations to protect a yard roller shutter from HGV impact.
- Installing wheel guides and corner bollards on a run of loading bays to protect the shelter frames.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Totton?
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.
