Options for bollards and door protection in Herefordshire
- Dock bumpers. Fresh bumpers keep trailers off the wall, the leveller and the shelter.
- Frame buffers. Rubber or polymer buffers on corners and frames at vehicle height.
- Wheel guides. Steel guides steer trailers straight into the middle of each bay.
- 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.
Typical scopes of work
- Installing wheel guides and corner bollards on a run of loading bays to protect the shelter frames.
- 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.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Herefordshire?
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.
Access, phasing and timing
Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

Questions from businesses in Herefordshire
Do you replace dock bumpers across the West Midlands?
Yes. We replace worn dock bumpers and fit wheel guides and corner bollards at loading bays across the West Midlands, often during a leveller service or bay refurbishment to save a separate visit.

Our guide price is £125 to £445 ex VAT per installed bollard, depending on size, material and fixing. Guide-rail guards and buffers are £345 to £1,495 per door. We confirm a fixed price in writing after a free survey in Herefordshire.
