Options for bollards and door protection in Wigston

Dock bumpers. Bumpers that stop trailers at the right distance from the building.
Suitable fixings. Base-plated or set in foundations, chosen for your slab.
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.
Polymer bollards. Flexible bollards that absorb impact and spring back.

What this work can involve

Replacing worn-through dock bumpers so reversing trailers stop short of the wall and the leveller lip.
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.

What the law expects at a loading bay

Across Great Britain, including Wigston, 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.

How the work is organised

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.

Frequently asked questions

Which bollards suit our Wigston 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.

Can bollards at our Wigston 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.

Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our Wigston 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.
