What we fit in Elgin
- Steel bollards. Galvanised, painted steel bollards, concrete-filled where needed.
- Guide-rail guards. Guards over the base of door guides and tracks, where most hits land.
- Dock bumpers. Fresh bumpers keep trailers off the wall, the leveller and the shelter.
- High visibility. Yellow or yellow-and-black finishes that drivers notice.
- Polymer bollards. Flexible bollards that absorb impact and spring back.
What this work can involve
- Adding steel guide-rail guards to a row of sectional loading doors at a distribution centre.
- Replacing bent bollards and checking the slab and anchors around them before fitting new fixings.
- Fitting rubber corner buffers to a door frame where pallet trucks clip the wall on a tight turn.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Elgin, 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.
How the work is organised
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.

Bollards and door protection in Elgin: your questions
How long does it take to fit door protection in Elgin?
Usually a few hours per door for base-plated bollards and guide guards. Bollards set in foundations take longer because of coring or excavation, and are often fitted out of hours to avoid disrupting traffic.
Do you replace dock bumpers across the Highlands and Islands?
Yes. We replace worn dock bumpers and fit wheel guides and corner bollards at loading bays across the Highlands and Islands, often during a leveller service or bay refurbishment to save a separate visit.
How much do bollards cost to install in Elgin?
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 Elgin.
