What we fit in Stamford

Dock bumpers. Bumpers that stop trailers at the right distance from the building.
Steel bollards. Rigid steel posts that stop vehicles firmly in front of guides and frames.
Frame buffers. Buffers cushion knocks to frame edges and wall corners around the opening.
High visibility. Bright finishes make protection easy for drivers to see and avoid.
Polymer bollards. Bollards that flex on impact, sparing the floor, the vehicle and themselves.

Typical scopes of work

Installing wheel guides and corner bollards on a run of loading bays to protect the shelter frames.
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.

What the law expects at a loading bay

Across Great Britain, including Stamford, 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

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.

Questions from businesses in Stamford

Which bollards suit our Stamford 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.

Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our Stamford 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.
