Options for bollards and door protection in Cleethorpes

High visibility. Bright finishes make protection easy for drivers to see and avoid.
Steel bollards. Rigid steel posts that stop vehicles firmly in front of guides and frames.

Wheel guides. Steel guides steer trailers straight into the middle of each bay.
Frame buffers. Rubber or polymer buffers on corners and frames at vehicle height.

Jobs we can carry out

Placing bollards beside a fire shutter so stored goods and trucks cannot obstruct its closing line.
Fitting polymer bollards inside a busy warehouse door to keep forklifts away from the door guides.
Installing wheel guides and corner bollards on a run of loading bays to protect the shelter frames.

Loading bay safety in England

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Cleethorpes the business running the site must keep them in efficient working order under PUWER 1998, and keep traffic routes safe under the Workplace Regulations 1992. Dock levellers are built to BS EN 1398; powered loading bay doors are covered by the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 and BS EN 12453.

Planning the work around your site

For busy sites in Lincolnshire the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Frequently asked questions

Which bollards suit our Cleethorpes 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.

Do you replace dock bumpers across Lincolnshire?

Yes. We replace worn dock bumpers and fit wheel guides and corner bollards at loading bays across Lincolnshire, often during a leveller service or bay refurbishment to save a separate visit.

Can you protect our existing doors in Cleethorpes?

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.
