Options that matter on site

Guide-rail guards. Protect the bottom of guides and tracks, where forks and pallets strike most often.
Suitable fixings. We choose anchor bolts or foundations depending on the slab and expected impacts.
Polymer bollards. Bollards that flex on impact, sparing the floor, the vehicle and themselves.
Dock bumpers. Bumpers that stop trailers at the right distance from the building.
High visibility. Yellow or yellow-and-black finishes that drivers notice.

What this work can involve

Adding steel guide-rail guards to a row of sectional loading doors at a distribution centre.
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.

Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Coleraine?

The employer or occupier, under PUWER (Northern Ireland) 1999 and the Workplace Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1993. Planned servicing, daily checks and a procedure to stop trailers moving during loading are the practical basics HSENI will expect.

How the work is organised

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.

Questions from businesses in Coleraine

How long does it take to fit door protection in Coleraine?

Usually a few hours per door for base-plated bollards and guide guards. Bollards set in foundations take longer because of coring or excavation, and are often fitted out of hours to avoid disrupting traffic.

Do you replace dock bumpers across County Londonderry?

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

Can bollards at our Coleraine 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.
