Options that matter on site

Frame buffers. Buffers cushion knocks to frame edges and wall corners around the opening.
Wheel guides. Steel guides steer trailers straight into the middle of each bay.
Guide-rail guards. Protect the bottom of guides and tracks, where forks and pallets strike most often.
Suitable fixings. We choose anchor bolts or foundations depending on the slab and expected impacts.
Steel bollards. Galvanised, painted steel bollards, concrete-filled where needed.

Examples of work we can quote for

Fitting polymer bollards inside a busy warehouse door to keep forklifts away from the door guides.
Replacing worn-through dock bumpers so reversing trailers stop short of the wall and the leveller lip.
Adding steel guide-rail guards to a row of sectional loading doors at a distribution centre.

Loading bay safety in Scotland

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Bellshill 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

Sites in and around Bellshill 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.

Your questions about bollards and door protection

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

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 Bellshill 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.

Do you replace dock bumpers across Lanarkshire?

Yes. We replace worn dock bumpers and fit wheel guides and corner bollards at loading bays across Lanarkshire, often during a leveller service or bay refurbishment to save a separate visit.
