Options for bollards and door protection in Accrington
- Wheel guides. Apron guides that centre trailers on the bay.
- Polymer bollards. Flexible bollards that absorb impact and spring back.
- Guide-rail guards. Protect the bottom of guides and tracks, where forks and pallets strike most often.
- High visibility. Yellow or yellow-and-black finishes that drivers notice.
- Dock bumpers. Bumpers that stop trailers at the right distance from the building.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Placing bollards beside a fire shutter so stored goods and trucks cannot obstruct its closing line.
- Installing wheel guides and corner bollards on a run of loading bays to protect the shelter frames.
- Fitting polymer bollards inside a busy warehouse door to keep forklifts away from the door guides.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Accrington?
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
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.
