What we fit in Coatbridge
- High visibility. Bright finishes make protection easy for drivers to see and avoid.
- Guide-rail guards. Protect the bottom of guides and tracks, where forks and pallets strike most often.
- Wheel guides. Apron guides that centre trailers on the bay.
- Suitable fixings. We choose anchor bolts or foundations depending on the slab and expected impacts.
- Dock bumpers. Bumpers that stop trailers at the right distance from the building.
What this work can involve
- Installing wheel guides and corner bollards on a run of loading bays to protect the shelter frames.
- Replacing worn-through dock bumpers so reversing trailers stop short of the wall and the leveller lip.
- Replacing bent bollards and checking the slab and anchors around them before fitting new fixings.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Coatbridge, 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.
Keeping your site running during the work
Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

Your questions about bollards and door protection
Can bollards at our Coatbridge 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.
Which bollards suit our Coatbridge warehouse?
Steel bollards suit most yards and external doors; polymer bollards suit busy internal routes where they will be hit often. The slab and vehicle weights decide the fixing. We recommend after seeing where your doors are being struck.
How much do bollards cost to install in Coatbridge?
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 Coatbridge.
