Quick answer
Forklifts and lorries knocking door guides out of line at your Grimsby site? Guide-rail guards and well-placed bollards usually cost far less than another door repair and the downtime that comes with it.

What we fit in Grimsby
- Suitable fixings. We choose anchor bolts or foundations depending on the slab and expected impacts.
- Steel bollards. Rigid steel posts that stop vehicles firmly in front of guides and frames.
- Polymer bollards. Flexible bollards that absorb impact and spring back.
- Frame buffers. Rubber or polymer buffers on corners and frames at vehicle height.
- Dock bumpers. Bumpers that stop trailers at the right distance from the building.
What this work can involve
- 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.
- Replacing bent bollards and checking the slab and anchors around them before fitting new fixings.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Grimsby?
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.
How the work is organised
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.

Questions from businesses in Grimsby
Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our Grimsby 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.
Which bollards suit our Grimsby 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.
