At a glance
Forklifts and lorries knocking door guides out of line at your Cheshunt site? Guide-rail guards and well-placed bollards usually cost far less than another door repair and the downtime that comes with it.

Options that matter on site
- Dock bumpers. Fresh bumpers keep trailers off the wall, the leveller and the shelter.
- Steel bollards. Galvanised, painted steel bollards, concrete-filled where needed.
- Frame buffers. Buffers cushion knocks to frame edges and wall corners around the opening.
- High visibility. Yellow or yellow-and-black finishes that drivers notice.
- Polymer bollards. Flexible bollards that absorb impact and spring back.
Jobs we can carry out
- Fitting polymer bollards inside a busy warehouse door to keep forklifts away from the door guides.
- 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 Cheshunt?
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
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.

Your questions about bollards and door protection
Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our Cheshunt 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 Cheshunt 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 Hertfordshire?
Yes. We replace worn dock bumpers and fit wheel guides and corner bollards at loading bays across Hertfordshire, often during a leveller service or bay refurbishment to save a separate visit.
