Options for bollards and door protection in Nairn

Suitable fixings. We choose anchor bolts or foundations depending on the slab and expected impacts.
Wheel guides. Apron guides that centre trailers on the bay.
High visibility. Bright finishes make protection easy for drivers to see and avoid.
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.

Jobs we can carry out

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.
Replacing worn-through dock bumpers so reversing trailers stop short of the wall and the leveller lip.

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

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.

Planning the work around your site

Sites in and around Nairn vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Questions from businesses in Nairn

Which bollards suit our Nairn 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.

How much do bollards cost to install in Nairn?

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 Nairn.

Can bollards at our Nairn 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.
