Options for bollards and door protection in Wishaw

Suitable fixings. We choose anchor bolts or foundations depending on the slab and expected impacts.
Wheel guides. Apron guides that centre trailers on the bay.
Frame buffers. Rubber or polymer buffers on corners and frames at vehicle height.
High visibility. Yellow or yellow-and-black finishes that drivers notice.
Steel bollards. Rigid steel posts that stop vehicles firmly in front of guides and frames.

Jobs we can carry out

Fitting rubber corner buffers to a door frame where pallet trucks clip the wall on a tight turn.
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.

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

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

Most installations in Wishaw 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 Wishaw

Which bollards suit our Wishaw 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 long does it take to fit door protection in Wishaw?

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.

Can bollards at our Wishaw 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.
