Options for bollards and door protection in Deal
- Guide-rail guards. Guards over the base of door guides and tracks, where most hits land.
- High visibility. Yellow or yellow-and-black finishes that drivers notice.
- Wheel guides. Steel guides steer trailers straight into the middle of each bay.
- Polymer bollards. Bollards that flex on impact, sparing the floor, the vehicle and themselves.
- Suitable fixings. Base-plated or set in foundations, chosen for your slab.
Examples of work we can quote for
- 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.
- Setting concrete-filled steel bollards in excavated foundations to protect a yard roller shutter from HGV impact.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Deal 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.
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 Deal: your questions
Can you protect our existing doors in Deal?
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.
Do you replace dock bumpers across Kent?
Yes. We replace worn dock bumpers and fit wheel guides and corner bollards at loading bays across Kent, often during a leveller service or bay refurbishment to save a separate visit.
Can bollards at our Deal 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.
