Options that matter on site

Dock bumpers. Bumpers that stop trailers at the right distance from the building.
Guide-rail guards. Guards over the base of door guides and tracks, where most hits land.
Steel bollards. Rigid steel posts that stop vehicles firmly in front of guides and frames.
Frame buffers. Buffers cushion knocks to frame edges and wall corners around the opening.
High visibility. Yellow or yellow-and-black finishes that drivers notice.

Typical scopes of work

Replacing worn-through dock bumpers so reversing trailers stop short of the wall and the leveller lip.
Fitting polymer bollards inside a busy warehouse door to keep forklifts away from the door guides.
Setting concrete-filled steel bollards in excavated foundations to protect a yard roller shutter from HGV impact.

What the law expects at a loading bay

Across Great Britain, including Fleetwood, 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

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Bollards and door protection in Fleetwood: your questions

Can bollards at our Fleetwood 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.

Can you protect our existing doors in Fleetwood?

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.

Which bollards suit our Fleetwood 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.
