What we fit in Skegness
- Polymer bollards. Flexible bollards that absorb impact and spring back.
- Suitable fixings. Base-plated or set in foundations, chosen for your slab.
- High visibility. Yellow or yellow-and-black finishes that drivers notice.
- Guide-rail guards. Protect the bottom of guides and tracks, where forks and pallets strike most often.
- Frame buffers. Rubber or polymer buffers on corners and frames at vehicle height.
What this work can involve
- Fitting rubber corner buffers to a door frame where pallet trucks clip the wall on a tight turn.
- Replacing worn-through dock bumpers so reversing trailers stop short of the wall and the leveller lip.
- 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 Skegness, 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.

Which bollards suit our Skegness warehouse?

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.
