What we fit in Lanarkshire

Dock bumpers. Bumpers that stop trailers at the right distance from the building.
Steel bollards. Rigid steel posts that stop vehicles firmly in front of guides and frames.
High visibility. Yellow or yellow-and-black finishes that drivers notice.
Suitable fixings. Base-plated or set in foundations, chosen for your slab.
Wheel guides. Apron guides that centre trailers on the bay.

Jobs we can carry out

Fitting polymer bollards inside a busy warehouse door to keep forklifts away from the door guides.
Installing wheel guides and corner bollards on a run of loading bays to protect the shelter frames.
Setting concrete-filled steel bollards in excavated foundations to protect a yard roller shutter from HGV impact.

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

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.

Keeping your site running during the work

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.

Questions from businesses in Lanarkshire

Can you protect our existing doors in Lanarkshire?

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.

Can bollards at our Lanarkshire 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.

How much do bollards cost to install in Lanarkshire?

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 Lanarkshire.
