Wheel guides. Steel guides steer trailers straight into the middle of each bay.
Suitable fixings. Base-plated or set in foundations, chosen for your slab.

Frame buffers. Buffers cushion knocks to frame edges and wall corners around the opening.
Dock bumpers. Bumpers that stop trailers at the right distance from the building.

Examples of work we can quote for

Installing wheel guides and corner bollards on a run of loading bays to protect the shelter frames.
Fitting rubber corner buffers to a door frame where pallet trucks clip the wall on a tight turn.

Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Hatfield?

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

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.

Questions from businesses in Hatfield

Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our Hatfield 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.

Which bollards suit our Hatfield 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.

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.
