Options for bollards and door protection in Faversham

Suitable fixings. We choose anchor bolts or foundations depending on the slab and expected impacts.
Guide-rail guards. Protect the bottom of guides and tracks, where forks and pallets strike most often.
High visibility. Bright finishes make protection easy for drivers to see and avoid.
Wheel guides. Steel guides steer trailers straight into the middle of each bay.
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.
Setting concrete-filled steel bollards in excavated foundations to protect a yard roller shutter from HGV impact.
Replacing worn-through dock bumpers so reversing trailers stop short of the wall and the leveller lip.

What the law expects at a loading bay

Across Great Britain, including Faversham, 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.

Access, phasing and timing

Most installations in Faversham can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Questions from businesses in Faversham

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.

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

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.

Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our Faversham 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.
