Loading bay safety in England

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Ryde the business running the site must keep them in efficient working order under PUWER 1998, and keep traffic routes safe under the Workplace Regulations 1992. Dock levellers are built to BS EN 1398; powered loading bay doors are covered by the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 and BS EN 12453.

Planning the work around your site

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 Ryde: your questions

How much do bollards cost to install in Ryde?

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 Ryde.

How long does it take to fit door protection in Ryde?

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.

Can you protect our existing doors in Ryde?

Yes. Guards, buffers and bollards are fitted around existing doors and frames. If a guide or frame is already bent, we recommend repairing it first so the door runs properly behind its new protection.
