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

Options for bollards and door protection in Scunthorpe
- Polymer bollards. Flexible bollards that absorb impact and spring back.
- High visibility. Bright finishes make protection easy for drivers to see and avoid.
- Steel bollards. Galvanised, painted steel bollards, concrete-filled where needed.
- Wheel guides. Steel guides steer trailers straight into the middle of each bay.
- Suitable fixings. We choose anchor bolts or foundations depending on the slab and expected impacts.
Typical scopes of work
- Fitting polymer bollards inside a busy warehouse door to keep forklifts away from the door guides.
- Placing bollards beside a fire shutter so stored goods and trucks cannot obstruct its closing line.
- Replacing bent bollards and checking the slab and anchors around them before fitting new fixings.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Scunthorpe 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.
How the work is organised
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Frequently asked questions
Can bollards at our Scunthorpe 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.
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.
Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our Scunthorpe 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.
